Will Tesla FSD enter China? Rumors about Shanghai's pilot project sparked heated debate, and officials rushed to refute them

News on June 15th. Recently, the news about Tesla’s autonomous driving system (FSD) entering the Chinese market has once again attracted widespread attention. It is reported that Shanghai Lingang New Area is in the process of promoting the implementation of Tesla FSD, involving 10 Tesla vehicles. However, the news was quickly refuted by Sen Yao, director of the Data Department of the Shanghai Lingang New Area Management Committee, who said that he had not disclosed relevant information.

Rumors that Tesla FSD has entered China still persist. According to the editor's understanding, overseas media previously revealed that Tesla China is actively filing FSD functions with relevant departments, with the goal of launching this function within this year. Tesla is working to introduce the latest FSD V12 version into China, and there are signs that relevant styles have already appeared in the in-car systems of some Tesla employees in China.

Tesla is considering licensing FSD technology to other Chinese automakers, a move that is expected to open up a new revenue stream for Tesla. Although Tesla FSD has not yet been officially launched in the Chinese market, the kit has been sold with the Model 3 when it was released, priced at 640,000 yuan, making it the most expensive smart driving kit in the Chinese market. Surprisingly, some car owners have chosen to purchase this kit even though they may have never used it.

Recently, Musk’s Tesla launched a “driverless taxi” service in China. At present, the Chinese government has not fully approved the full implementation of FSD in China, but may first support its testing and demonstration in the country.

With the continuous development of Tesla FSD technology, the prospect of Tesla FSD entering the Chinese market is highly anticipated. However, the specific implementation time and policy support still require further observation and waiting.
