Tesla has officially launched its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in China after years of regulatory delays, marking a major step in the world’s largest electric vehicle market.
The company announced that China has become one of 10 global markets offering Tesla’s FSD system, though the technology still requires active driver supervision despite its name.
The rollout follows years of uncertainty over regulatory approval, while Chinese rivals including Xpeng, Xiaomi, and BYD rapidly expanded their own autonomous driving technologies.
Tesla’s FSD package is currently available for Model 3 buyers in China for a one-time fee of 64,000 yuan ($9,400).
The announcement came shortly after CEO Elon Musk joined US President Donald Trump during meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
Tesla continues to face fierce competition in China, where local companies and robotaxi operators are accelerating the development of advanced self-driving systems.
