Tesla FSD tested in Czechia: 245 km from Prague to Olomouc, 2 disengagements and a phantom brake
YouTuber Jan Slovi let FSD (Supervised) drive his Model 3 Performance through Prague and down the highway to Olomouc. What worked, what annoyed him, and the price: €100 a month.
Czechia provisionally allowed FSD (Supervised) on September 21, according to "Prague Daily". YouTuber Jan Slovi put it to a long test: 245 km from central Prague (Florenc) to Olomouc in a Model 3 Performance, touching the wheel as little as possible.
His tally, from the video description: 245 km, battery 70% → 11%, 2 disengagements, 6 potholes hit.
What worked
- In Prague traffic, with trams and pedestrians, the car "drives like a professional chauffeur, not like an AI": smooth, no harsh braking or acceleration.
- On the highway it moves back to the right lane after overtaking, as European rules require.
- On a new highway section missing from the map, it slowed down and handled it calmly.
- In a bumper-to-bumper merge it found a gap and went for it.
What annoyed him
- Very strict driver monitoring. He got disengaged for having a drink, then for hands out of the camera's view. A few more strikes and FSD locks out for a while.
- Potholes. The car drives straight through them, even when it could avoid them.
- Phantom braking. On a stretch with construction markings, the car braked hard and the driver behind had to emergency brake. Jan thinks yellow arrows on the road were read as an obstacle.
- No "Mad Max" mode in Europe. Pressing the accelerator tells the car you want to go faster.
- At the end it tried to reverse into a spot, hesitated at a barrier and didn't finish.
Price and verdict
Jan says FSD costs him €100 a month in Czechia. Along the way he also chatted with Grok, the in-car AI assistant. His verdict: FSD works in Europe and "you can work with this", but it is supervised for a reason. You must be ready to take over at any time, including when the car brakes for no reason.
