Tesla’s social media accounts in South Korea have been posting cryptic images of the number zero, leaving the Tesla community puzzled as to their significance. The posts, which feature stylized designs with the number zero, have appeared on both Tesla’s Instagram and X accounts in Korea. The timing of these posts coincides with Tesla’s upcoming “We, Robot” robotaxi unveiling event scheduled for October 10, leading some to speculate that they may be related to this event or the potential launch of Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised in markets outside of North America.
The reason behind Tesla Korea’s posts of the zero images remains unclear, but it is expected that more information will be revealed in the coming days. While the initial posts came from both the X and Instagram Korea accounts, subsequent images have only been shared on the Instagram account. Tesla has been teasing the release of FSD Supervised in countries other than Canada and the U.S., and Elon Musk has expressed optimism about gaining approval for FSD in China by the end of the year. Reports suggest that Tesla may be testing 10 vehicles with the software in China ahead of a wider launch.
Tesla’s Robotaxi unveiling event is set to take place at a Warner Brothers Studio space in Burbank, California on October 10, but similar zero images have not been posted on the company’s other social media accounts apart from the Korea accounts. Recent weeks have seen Tesla increasing data collection around locations in California, which is believed to be related to the upcoming event. Invites to the unveiling event were sent out to select individuals and the company also launched a referral program offering a chance to win a ticket to the event for those who make two referrals. The arrival of the Tesla Cybertruck in South Korea last week adds to the mystery surrounding the zero images.
In addition to the cryptic social media posts, the Tesla Model Y has emerged as the best-selling imported car in South Korea in the first half of 2024. This success further highlights the brand’s popularity and growth in the South Korean market.
