Early this morning,
Tesla rushed to the top of the hot search
On April 29, Eastern time, Tesla, a U.S. stock, rose 15.39% to $194.2 per share, a new intraday high since March 4 and the largest one-day increase since March 2020, with a market value increase of $82.6 billion (about 597.4 billion yuan).
Musk made a surprise visit to China
In the past few days, the Beijing Auto Show is in full swing, and the new energy vehicle giant Tesla did not participate in the exhibition. But on April 28, Tesla CEO Elon Musk suddenly appeared in Beijing.
According to CCTV News, Musk visited China at the invitation of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and Ren Hongbin, president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, met with Musk that afternoon.
CCTV's new media account, Yuyuan Tan Tian, released part of the video of the meeting. The video shows that Ren Hongbin asked: "2024 Beijing Auto Show, did Tesla go?" Musk smiled and said: "We didn't go, and we won't go to the American auto show." ”
Musk said that Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory is Tesla's best-performing factory, thanks to the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese team. Tesla is willing to further deepen cooperation with China and achieve more win-win results.
On the evening of the 28th, Tesla issued a document saying that it will continue to cultivate in China, develop together with the industry in artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, energy storage and other fields, accelerate the implementation of clean energy and autonomous driving technology, and turn a beautiful vision into reality.
Tesla is coming for FSD?
There are many speculations about Musk's surprise visit to China, including one that Musk's trip is likely to seek the landing of Tesla's intelligent driving system FSD (Full-Self Driving) in the Chinese market.
Tesla launched FSD as early as 2021, and this feature is publicly sold to Tesla owners in the form of an option in China, but the function is far from that of overseas markets, especially in North America, and high-end assisted driving functions such as navigation assistance have not been opened for a long time.
For the huge Chinese market, Tesla naturally will not miss out. Earlier this month, Musk announced on social platform X that he would "soon" roll out FSD technology to Chinese users.
According to the Tesla user APP, the price of Tesla's FSD function in China is 64,000 yuan, and the current status is about to be launched.
Is Tesla's FSD still far from landing in China?
It is worth noting that on the same day that Musk arrived in Beijing, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers and the National Computer Network Emergency Technology Processing and Coordination Center issued the "Notice on the Testing of 4 Safety Requirements for Automotive Data Processing (First Batch)", in which 76 models from 6 companies, including BYD, Ideal, Lotus, Hezhong New Energy (Nezha Automobile), Tesla, and Weilai, meet the 4 compliance requirements of automotive data security.
Tesla became the only foreign-funded car company to meet the compliance requirements. This means that some special areas in China that prohibit Tesla parking, such as government agencies and airports, may lift restrictions on most of Tesla's models in the future, and the driving range of Tesla vehicles will be further expanded.
According to public information, according to the requirements of Chinese regulators, all driving data collected by Tesla in China since 2021 is currently stored in Shanghai, and no data is transmitted to the United States.
Judging from various information, Tesla has been actively promoting the landing of FSD in China. With the approval of the Chinese government for data security certification, the implementation of FSD may not be far away.
Tesla refuted rumors that domestic car owners received an invitation to FSD internal testing
According to Sina Technology, some netizens posted screenshots, which showed that some users in a "Tesla Car Club" group claimed that Tesla would start FSD (Full Self-Driving) internal testing on April 30. In this regard, Tesla clarified that the relevant news was untrue.
