Tesla to halt one-time FSD sales in Taiwan from July 1

Taiwanese Tesla customers will no longer be able to purchase the Full Self-Driving (FSD) software as a one-time payment after June 30. The company announced Tuesday that the option will cease sales on July 1.

“

FSD (full self-driving) one-time purchase option will stop selling in Taiwan starting July 1.

Existing owners who have already purchased FSD will retain their lifetime access. Tesla is also offering a special transfer option for current owners and those who have not yet taken delivery of their vehicles: they can receive a free FSD transfer if they order a new car by September 30.

Tesla is actively working to bring its FSD system to Taiwan. The company has submitted the necessary application documents to the Taiwan Vehicle Safety Certification Center and is collaborating with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Tesla aims to expedite the review process for its new driver-assistance technology.

Tesla's driver assistance technology strictly requires drivers to actively supervise and cannot enable the vehicle to drive automatically.

The FSD system, which requires active driver supervision and does not enable autonomous driving, is trained on data from over 8.5 million Tesla vehicles globally. The company states that vehicles equipped with FSD have a safety record more than seven times better than ordinary vehicles, significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents. The system's pure vision recognition technology allows for constant monitoring of all vehicle aspects, eliminating human error due to distraction or fatigue.
