Being well aware of the significance of the Chinese car market, Tesla is now offering attractive discounts and new perks to boost the sales of its EVs. On the eve of China’s Labor Day or May Day, Tesla announced new perks like free Enhanced Autopilot for a period of 45 days, free supercharging for 5 days, and a discount of 25 per cent on air filter replacements.
Tesla’s Enhanced Autopilot is no more available in North America, where the company has replaced the software with Full Self-Driving (FSD) package. However, Chinese customers are being provided Enhanced Autopilot since the city street driving feature of FSD isn’t ready to be rolled out in this fast-growing car market.

Tesla is going all out in its efforts to establish and grow a loyal consumer base in China. As the country prepares to celebrate its Labor Day break, which spans May 1 to May 5, Tesla has launched several novel perks specifically aimed at its domestic customers.
Based on a post from the Tesla China team on Weibo, the company is offering free access to Enhanced Autopilot features for 45 days. This applies to vehicles that are delivered before June 30, 2021. This should allow Tesla to showcase its more advanced driver-assist features among its Chinese buyers, especially those who may be pondering if the Full Self-Driving suite is worth it.
Tesla caught the automotive world napping when it burst on to the scene in 2012 with the Model S. The US electric car start-up demonstrated that there was a serious appetite for EVs with a premium price tag, and ever since then car makers around the world have been frantically developing competitors to cash in on this increasingly lucrative market.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of them, and also one of the most important new Fords that we have seen for a generation. Its significance is demonstrated by the Mustang name that Ford has bestowed it with – one of the most recognisable in the industry.
