Tesla China Denies FSD Exit Rumors, But Launch Timeline Stays Vague

Tesla’s Chinese arm has officially pushed back against circulating online rumors that the company is preparing to withdraw its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology from the Chinese market. In a statement, Tesla China emphasized that its Shanghai data center remains fully operational and compliant with local regulations. The automaker also confirmed that it has reported the misinformation to the police, signaling a firm stance against the spread of false claims.

Despite the denial, the company has not provided any concrete update on when FSD will actually become available to Chinese customers. The timing of the rollout continues to be a subject of intense speculation, as regulatory approvals and data security reviews remain key hurdles. Tesla’s response appears aimed at calming consumer concerns while keeping its long-term market strategy under wraps.
