Tesla's Supervised FSD Launches in China; XPeng Highlights Local Advantages

Tesla has announced that its Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD Supervised) system has officially entered the Chinese market, marking its first commercial deployment in the country. The system is available as a paid option priced at RMB 64,000. Currently, FSD has not yet received full commercial approval in China; it is only accessible to select paying users and requires continuous driver supervision during use. Following the launch event of its GX model, XPeng Motors expressed its welcome to Tesla's move. Liu Xianming, Head of XPeng’s General Intelligence Center, stated that FSD’s entry into China will foster healthy industry competition and technological advancement, and that XPeng looks forward to engaging in high-level competition with Tesla. XPeng highlighted three core advantages it holds over Tesla’s FSD: extensive experience in the Chinese market, resulting in more mature adaptation to complex local driving conditions; a vast repository of real-world Chinese road data, enabling model training that better reflects domestic scenarios; and an established local computing infrastructure that optimizes system response speed, effectively addressing China’s unique traffic environment.
