Tesla Expands FSD Capabilities to China: What Drivers Can Expect

Bloomberg reports that Tesla is preparing to bring Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities to its vehicles in China through a software update, similar to the features already available in the United States. According to an anonymous source, this update, which is expected to roll out in the coming days, will enable Tesla owners in China to access advanced driver-assistance features, including those for driving on city streets.

The update will enable Tesla vehicles to navigate exit ramps and intersections, recognize traffic signals, and assist with tasks like turns, lane changes, and speed adjustments. Tesla plans to inform customers about these capabilities as part of the software rollout.

The update is available to customers who have purchased the Full Self-Driving (FSD) software package, which costs 64,000 yuan (approximately $8,800). However, continuous supervision and frequent intervention from the driver will still be required. Additionally, the city-driving features will initially be available on select models and gradually expand to other vehicles.

Reuters has also reported Tesla’s plans to add more driver-assistance features in China through the software update. These features will help drivers navigate urban roads more efficiently.

It pointed out that Tesla briefly announced the update to Chinese users on social media last Monday, only to retract it minutes later.

Telsa CEO Elon Musk had previously expressed confidence during the company’s July 2024 earnings call that the Full Self-Driving features would likely be available in Europe and China by the end of the year.

All Tesla vehicles in China currently come with Basic Autopilot (BAP) software at no additional cost. Introducing Full Self-Driving features will likely require approval from Chinese government regulators.
