Tesla has rolled out its Full Self-Driving system to China, making it the 10th country with supervised FSD access. The company listed China alongside the US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, the Netherlands, and Lithuania. Chinese Tesla owners previously relied on Autopilot and Enhanced Autopilot.

On Tesla's Chinese website, the add-on is priced at a one-time fee of 64,000 yuan ($9,410). That's notably higher than the US, where FSD shifted to a $99 per month subscription. The rollout matters because China represents one of the world's largest auto markets.

Tesla spent years navigating regulatory delays before receiving approval earlier this year. Unsupervised FSD remains limited to robotaxis in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, with Musk claiming widespread US deployment by year's end. For now, Chinese drivers get the supervised version only.
