Tesla announced today that its "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" system (FSD Supervised) can now be used in 10 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, and the highly competitive market of China. The American electric vehicle giant is attempting to use its technologically leading FSD to recover lost market share and increase revenue.
Tesla's official X platform account announced on the 21st that FSD Supervised is now available in 10 countries and regions: the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, the Netherlands, and Lithuania.
Currently, the price of FSD in Taiwan is NT$222,000. Due to regulatory restrictions, the functions that can actually be used on Taiwanese roads are still mainly the basic Autopilot, with many advanced features being unavailable.
After two consecutive years of declining sales, Tesla's Q1 electric vehicle deliveries were 358,023 units, an increase of 6% compared to the same period last year. However, in its main market of China, first-quarter sales plummeted by 16.2%.
Tesla's official announcement of FSD Supervised landing in China became a hot topic on Chinese social media today.
According to reports from mainland Chinese media such as IT Home and Jiemian News, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk visited China with US President Donald Trump on the 13th, Tesla China urgently recruited for several intelligent driving positions. This has been interpreted by outsiders as a sign that Tesla's industry-leading FSD system will be approved for use on roads by Chinese officials, which could reverse the downward trend in sales in China.
Currently, Tesla FSD V14.3.3 has been rolled out in North America, with the company claiming a 20% improvement in reaction speed and a 33% speed-up of the Smart Summon feature. It is claimed to be able to intelligently and accurately drive the vehicle under the active supervision of the driver, including route navigation, steering, lane changing, and parking. It can be used for everyday outings, daily commutes, and road trips.
In the European market, the Netherlands Vehicle Authority officially granted Tesla whole-vehicle type approval for FSD Supervised in April this year, and Tesla also officially rolled out FSD Supervised to Lithuanian owners yesterday.
In terms of pricing, the FSD Supervised version in Europe currently only supports a subscription model. The monthly subscription fee for Lithuanian owners is €99 (approximately NT$3,600); if they have previously purchased the Enhanced Autopilot, the monthly fee can be as low as €49. Tesla has stated that as the system is iteratively upgraded towards unsupervised autonomous driving, the subscription price will be increased in the future.
As of the first quarter of this year, the number of global FSD subscribers has reached 1.28 million, a year-on-year increase of 51%. Starting from February 2026, Tesla is also shifting to a $99 per month subscription model in most markets to further increase the number of users.
Tesla is losing ground in the Chinese market. According to the latest data from the China Passenger Car Association, although Tesla China's wholesale sales in April were 79,478 units, a record high for April, its sales in China fell to 25,956 units, not only down 9% from the same period last year but also more than halved compared to March. However, the launch of FSD Supervised is expected to stimulate buying interest.
