Tesla Korea on the 10th officially launched in Korea the light version of its latest driving assist feature, "Full Self-Driving (FSD) v14." However, the Model 3 and Model Y made in China, which make up the majority of vehicles sold domestically, were excluded.
Tesla Korea said on social media X that it will begin rolling out FSD v14 Light in phases from the day to two models, the Model 3 and Model Y, produced in the United States. It was released in the U.S. market on the 29th, making Korea the second launch market worldwide.
V14 Light is a streamlined version of Tesla's latest FSD v14 that can run even on the older Autonomous Driving computer, HW3. This update will be rolled out sequentially to Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced in the United States with FSD Supervised enabled.
Because it also applies to vehicles five years after launch, customers who bought U.S.-made Tesla vehicles previously sold in Korea can now use the feature. The Model 3 first launched in the Korean market as a U.S.-made model in 2019, and the Model Y in 2021. Production shifted to China starting with the Model 3 in 2024 and the Model Y in 2023.
However, by limiting the update to U.S.-made models, most Tesla buyers in Korea will likely be unable to use the feature. Most of the Model 3 and Model Y vehicles recently sold domestically were produced at the Shanghai plant in China.
Attention is on whether Tesla will apply FSD to China-made vehicles as well. Tesla did not comment on whether it will apply the feature to China-made vehicles or on any plans.
