On May 21, Tesla posted on X a list of regions where FSD Supervised (Full Self-Driving Supervised) is now available globally, officially confirming China’s inclusion alongside markets such as the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Mexico, and European countries like the Netherlands and Lithuania. The latter became the second European nation to roll out FSD, just weeks after the Netherlands received approval. Currently, China runs a localized version (v13.x), officially dubbed “City Autopilot”; version v14 remains under testing. Most European nations use the v13 series, while North America has upgraded to v14.3.3 (2026.14.6.6).
This announcement came at a significant moment: Musk accompanied President Trump on a visit to China from May 13–15, widely seen as hastening final regulatory approval in China—Musk had previously predicted approval by February or March 2026 during last November’s shareholder meeting, though implementation was delayed until after the Xi-Trump summit. It’s worth noting that FSD Supervised still requires drivers to stay alert and ready to take control at any time. Meanwhile, FSD Unsupervised (Full Self-Driving Unsupervised) is currently limited to Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet operating in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas; Musk once suggested this capability might become available to regular users in Q4 2026, though such timelines have frequently slipped in the past.
