Tesla's sales in China decline

People familiar with the matter revealed that although there were previous signs that Tesla might obtain permission to conduct large-scale testing of "full self-driving" (FSD) technology in China in the second quarter of 2025, Chinese regulators have not yet given a clear timetable for approval. For Tesla, obtaining this license is crucial to its launch of semi-autonomous driving functions in China, which will help increase its self-driving software subscription revenue and is also expected to boost its sales in the world's largest auto market, China.
