As of today, only Nacka and Strängnäs have given Tesla permission to test Supervised FSD on municipal roads. Jönköping has applied but is still waiting.

Tesla does, however, have national approval from Trafikverket and Transportstyrelsen to test on all state roads across Sweden since January 2026.In June 2025, Stockholm City rejected Tesla’s application to test FSD and Robotaxi within the city limits. The official reasons were safety risks and the test being “too extensive”.

I don’t buy it.

Stockholm is currently governed by the Social Democrats and the Greens – two parties that have shown open hostility toward both Tesla and Elon Musk. Given their track record, I am convinced the real reason was ideological, not technical.

It doesn’t help that the Moderates’ previous collaboration with the Greens (2018–2022) cost them dearly. Many traditional M-voters have still not forgiven what they saw as a betrayal, making a centre-right municipal government in Stockholm look increasingly unlikely in the foreseeable future.

This means Stockholm risks becoming a FSD-free zone even if the rest of Sweden moves forward. Because when emotion and principle trump facts and technology, logic takes a back seat.

And unfortunately, that seems to be exactly what is happening in the capital.
