according to the latest data released by the china passenger car association on september 3, tesla's shanghai super factory delivered nearly 86,700 vehicles in august, a month-on-month increase of 17%, of which more than 63,000 vehicles were sold in china, a month-on-month increase of 37%. in terms of specific models, model y sold more than 45,000 vehicles in china and model 3 sold 18,000 vehicles in china.

currently, tesla's models on sale include model 3, model y, model s, model x and cybertruck. the main models sold in china are model y and model 3, and the model y model supports tesla's main sales in the chinese market.

it is worth mentioning that an insider recently revealed that tesla plans to launch the seven-seat version of model y produced in china in the chinese and european markets in october this year, and the shanghai super factory has already started production of this model. in response, tesla said: "the news is untrue."

in addition, since the beginning of this year, there have been constant reports that tesla's fsd (full self-driving) will soon be launched in china. in the second quarter earnings conference call in july this year, tesla ceo musk said that tesla is expected to obtain fsd licenses in other markets, such as europe and china, before the end of this year. but so far, tesla china has not responded positively to the fsd landing.

according to a recent report by lateauto, a person close to tesla said that the progress of fsd in china is also lagging behind tesla's expectations. the official originally planned to start a small-scale test of fsd in china in september this year, but the time for this test has been postponed. based on the above situation, the reporter of "daily economic news" tried to contact tesla china. the other party responded: "no relevant information has been disclosed yet."

regarding the current status of tesla fsd entering china, some industry insiders said that given that many chinese automakers are actively deploying urban noa, if tesla's fsd function fails to gain a clear advantage over domestic brands in the market, then there is no need to be too urgent to introduce fsd.
