Small typo at the end of the first paragraph. 🙂

I just bought 10 for 4000 Euros each, not a bad deal. If Tesla refuse to supply me then I will be taking HH to court for the extra money.

So, I'm not too familiar with how the EU is governed, but why is it that the Dutch regulatory authority gets to decide what happens in the rest of the EU?

The EU Law is the main thing and on top of that there is individual country law if it doesn't interfere with EU law.
This is the normal way...
BUT on top of that there is exeption as for exemple in country that is not EU but use EU law as a service from EU country with local law or not (mainly small fiscal paradise), and from country that is in EU but doesn't want to use some of EU law.
So each law goes from country to EU and back (and i don't event talk about burocratie...).
At the end there is million of EU wasted each year just to have this movement of information.
Right now we are very far from the "ideal" solution presented at start. We are more like in Athena before the lost against Sparta.

Well, hey, at least it's not "Ottopilot" :P

Autonomous driving on vehicles is not allowed in EU. Not just for Tesla, for everyone. One of the reasons BWM, Audi or Merc dont have autonomous driving mode.
PS. It's still in the test phase, and even there, a driver must not let go of the wheel.

Seriously, they should get rid of autopilot entirely. The thing is, it has to be one or the other: full control by the driver, or full control by the computer. Anything in between is just asking for trouble. It makes me question the wisdom of the people over at Tesla who thought it would be a pretty neat idea.

No it wouldn't. New (2019) Audi A8 has lane assist and it's disabled because it's against the rules to use it.

I am no expert, all I know, in Europe (EU), even for testing (authorized) driver must keep hands on steering wheel at all times. Watched the Audi A8 2019 review, dude said it has everything, but disabled bcs EU law.
Keeping hands on steering wheel defies the purpose of autonomous driving. Especially in USA traffic jams where you should be able to just sit back, relax and let the AI move 2m by 2m in straight line for hours...
