Tesla seeks exemption to enable FSD on China-made Model 3/Y in South Korea

📍 Drive Tesla Canada

Tesla Korea has applied for a regulatory exemption to enable Full Self-Driving (FSD) on China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, according to industry sources cited by the Korea JoongAng Daily. The application was submitted on October 22 to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), under Article 114-2 of its vehicle safety standards, which allows new technologies to be exempted from existing standards. The ministry said this exemption has never been applied to a software update and that legal issues must be reviewed.…

🔎 Why it matters: According to the ministry, this would be the first time the Article 114-2 exemption is applied to a software update, as it has so far only covered physical equipment.
📈 Upside: If the exemption is approved, China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles could activate FSD, a group representing 77% of the registered fleet.
📉 Risk: The pending legal review and the missing technical data for KATRI could delay or block approval.
