Tesla account transfer

Is there any way for Tesla users in China to get a subscription to FSD? Because I have tried, and I cannot transfer my vehicle to a Tesla account outside of the China region.”

Unfortunately, Tesla China accounts cannot transfer vehicles to accounts in other regions — this is a Tesla policy restriction, not a technical limitation.

The workaround documented by the upstream project (create a Canadian/US account → transfer → subscribe to FSD) works for most regions, but China is specifically excluded because Tesla China operates as a separate entity with its own account system.

Some community members have reported success by contacting Tesla service directly and requesting a region transfer, but this is inconsistent. There is no known CAN bus workaround for this account-level restriction.

The non-FSD features of this project (nag killer, BMS dashboard, speed display, blind spot alert) work on any Tesla regardless of FSD subscription or region.

Correction to my earlier reply: I stated that China accounts "cannot" transfer vehicles cross-region. That was too absolute. Some users have reported success with cross-region transfers by contacting Tesla service directly — it depends on the service center and may require persistence. The technical limitation is that Tesla China's account system is separate from the global system, making self-service transfers impossible through the app/website. But a service center visit may work.

If you attempt it, please report back — your experience would help other China-based users.

It has been confirmed that Tesla in China cannot transfer vehicles to foreign accounts, and changing email accounts outside China also fails to achieve vehicle transfer. This is not a technical barrier, but a policy barrier.
