IT Home: Tesla FSD Support Removed for China, DeepSeek Adjusts Weekend Pricing
Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has had China removed from its list of supported regions. Meanwhile, AI company DeepSeek announced changes to its API pricing for weekend usage.
Tesla has officially removed China from the list of supported regions for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system on its official website. The change, effective August 23, 2026, comes after China was previously included in the supported territories. The company has not provided specific reasons for this decision, raising questions about Tesla's future strategy in the Chinese market.
In related news, AI service provider DeepSeek announced an adjustment to its API pricing structure. Starting August 23, 2026, weekend usage will no longer differentiate between peak and off-peak hours. Instead, all API calls made on Saturdays and Sundays will be charged at a single, lower off-peak rate. This move aims to simplify billing for developers and offer more predictable costs.
