Tesla China has kicked off a one-month free trial of its FSD capability, starting today. This move mirrors Tesla’s approach in the U.S. market, where the company has previously launched similar limited-time trials.
Tesla’s strategy follows a pattern established in the American market, where Tesla has offered three distinct one-month free trials over the past year. First came in March 2024 alongside the launch of FSD v12, followed by another during October’s “We, Robot” event, and a third in December 2024 offered to a select group of owners.
Tesla’s approach appears timed to showcase significant improvements in their autonomous driving technology. Tesla typically rolls out these free FSD trials when major updates deliver clear enhancements to the system’s capabilities.
This trial-based strategy represents a well-established customer acquisition technique commonly used throughout the paid software industry. By giving potential customers hands-on experience with fully-featured FSD, Tesla creates opportunities to convert free users into paying subscribers.
Tesla China Launches Free FSD Trial Program
The China trial represents Tesla’s continued global push to expand FSD adoption beyond its core U.S. market. As regulatory frameworks for autonomous driving evolve at different rates worldwide, these limited-time offers provide Tesla valuable data on user engagement across varying driving conditions and cultural contexts.
For Tesla China customers, this trial offers a risk-free opportunity to experience the Tesla’s most advanced driver assistance features before committing to the subscription or full purchase.
