Tesla is preparing to register its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software with Chinese authorities ahead of its planned rollout this year, according to sources including Reuters and Bloomberg. The company is considering offering the FSD software as a monthly subscription. The registration with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will allow Tesla to internally test the FSD software. The software will be available as a one-time fee of $8,828 or a $98 monthly subscription. This move comes as Tesla faces increasing competition from other electric vehicle makers in China.
