It also says the Shanghai data center is still operating as usual, hiring for driver-assistance roles is picking up speed<\/strong>, and the issue has been reported to police. Even so, it’s easy to see why people still have doubts.<\/p>\n\n

China still isn’t on Tesla’s official list of 12 markets<\/strong> where FSD (Supervised) is available by subscription, even though some Tesla pages in the U.S. have, at times, suggested that China is included.<\/p>\n\n

Tesla first announced FSD in China in May 2026<\/strong>, later renamed it \u201cTesla Assisted Driving,\u201d and still hasn’t shared pricing or a broad release timetable after earlier February\/March and Q3 2026 targets slipped. Then there are the obstacles: data-localization rules, reliance on Baidu mapping, and stricter standards set to take effect in July 2027. Meanwhile, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Xpeng are moving faster; some analysts still describe Tesla’s system as Level 2-plus; some users say it feels like an \u201cunacclimatised American driver\u201d; and buyers who already paid 64,000 yuan still don’t know whether they’ll get refunds, upgrades, or a clear delivery timeline.<\/p>\n\n

If you follow Tesla in China, keep watching this. Until China shows up<\/strong> on Tesla’s official market list and Tesla puts out a real launch plan, the questions aren’t going anywhere.<\/p>\n\n
