Tesla Inc. will partner up with AI darlings DeepSeek and Bytedance Ltd.’s Doubao on new tools in its cars in China, according to a document uploaded to Tesla’s official website.

Bloomberg reports that Doubao will work on voice command-related tools like the temperature in a Tesla, navigation and in-car entertainment, while DeepSeek will handle the AI side of things.

The move may be a way for Tesla to boost its Chinese deliveries, which dropped 8.4% from December to June compared to the same time period last year.

DeepSeek is currently used in several Chinese Tesla rivals, including carmakers Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. and YD Co.

Representatives from Tesla and Bytedance did not respond to requests for comment.
