Tesla Rejects Rumors of FSD Exit From China, Vows Shanghai Center Still Active

Tesla has officially pushed back against recent speculation that it is withdrawing its Full Self-Driving (FSD) efforts from China. The automaker insists that its operations in the country remain intact, emphasizing that its data center in Shanghai is functioning as usual. In a surprising twist, the company even mentioned that it has taken the unusual step of reporting these claims to local authorities.

The denial arrives amid ongoing regulatory hurdles that have kept FSD unavailable to Chinese customers. While Tesla lists several markets where the driver-assist system can be subscribed, China is noticeably missing from that roster. Despite the legal gray area surrounding FSD’s deployment, Tesla wants to reassure stakeholders that it is not backing away from the Chinese market. The company appears committed to navigating the complex regulatory landscape, even as rumors of a retreat circulate.
