Tesla denies rumors of FSD pullback in China
Tesla said on August 27 that rumors claiming it had vacated its Shanghai data center and was withdrawing from a planned China launch of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) were false, and that it reported the claims to police. The rumors spread after Tesla's US website listed 12 markets selling FSD Supervised subscriptions, including the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and several European countries, without listing China; Tesla said its Shanghai data center remains fully operational and that it is accelerating hiring for driver-assistance roles.
