Czech Republic Lawmaker Expresses Optimism for Tesla FSD After Constituent Inquiry

Martin Kolovratník, a Czech Republic chamber of deputies member, has expressed his excitement for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) after an apparent constituent called for a rapid approval for the advanced safety system.

The ANO party lawmaker, who drives both diesel and EV, shared his thoughts about the matter in a post on social media platform X.

The official’s initial statements

Kolovratník kicked off the exchange with a post outlining his coalition’s efforts to scrap highway toll exemptions for electric vehicles and plug-ins starting in 2027.

“Times have changed.Electric vehicles are no longer a fringe technology, but a full-fledged part of operations.And if someone uses the highway network, they should follow the same rules as everyone else. That’s the basis of fairness,” he wrote.

He emphasized equity over ideology, noting his personal mix of diesel and electric driving. “For this reason, there is no reason to continue favoring one technology at the expense of another… It’s not about ideology, it’s about equal conditions. That’s why we clearly agreed within the new coalition: the exemption for electric vehicles and plug-ins will end in 2027. The decision is predictable,understandable,and economically sound.”
