Elon Musk

China is good at both AI and manufacturing, and will definitely be the toughest competition for Tesla, Musk said.

A Chinese government source indicated that China will not approve Tesla's FSD soon, dashing Elon Musk's expectations.

Musk anticipates Tesla's FSD will receive approval in China next month, echoing the timeline he mentioned last November.

"Other companies in the West are weak," Musk said.

Avatr said Elon Musk shared inaccurate information and invited the Tesla CEO to witness a wind tunnel test of the Avatr 12.

This is expected to pave the way for the lifting of access restrictions on Tesla vehicles in some areas and the launch of the US EV maker's FSD in China.

Musk arrived in Shanghai from Beijing yesterday evening and toured the Tesla Shanghai factory overnight.

Musk met with China's Minister of Industry and Information Technology and Minister of Commerce today. He met with China's foreign minister after arriving in Beijing yesterday and was seen meeting with CATL's chairman.

Tesla opposes decoupling and is willing to continue to expand its business in China and share in China's development opportunities, Musk said.

China has always been welcoming visits by business people from various countries, including Mr. Musk, to better understand China and promote mutually beneficial cooperation, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.
