On June 24th Tesla officially started its FSD Transfer offer, and now it’s extending its deadline. Initially, the offer was available to anyone taking a vehicle delivery before August 31st. It has now been extended to September 30th.
During last month’s 2024 Shareholder Meeting, Elon Musk was convinced to bring back FSD Transfers for “one last quarter”.
Transfer Window
The updated transfer window of availability is for orders placed between June 24, 2024, to September 30, 2024. You must take delivery of your vehicle before the 30th to be eligible for the transfer.
You’ll need to be taking delivery of a new Model S, Model 3, Model X, or Model Y – the Cybertruck is only available in the Foundation series for the foreseeable future, which already comes with FSD, so its excluded from this offer.
What is FSD Transfer?
Tesla has previously brought this sales incentive for previous customers forward as a demand lever, incentivizing prior owners who have purchased FSD to transfer it to a new vehicle.
This incentive allows buyers who have purchased FSD, whether it be at the original $5,000, updated $15,000, or the new $8,000 price (FSD price history) to transfer it directly to a new Tesla purchase. The vehicle does not have to be traded in for this to occur – but you can simply transfer the FSD option from an existing vehicle to your new car. The old vehicle will no longer have access to FSD, but you can still subscribe to FSD on the older vehicle or purchase it later if you change your mind.
The offer is also stackable with any other incentives, whether it be inventory price adjustments, demo models, or EV rebates in North America, including the $7,500 federal rebate that’s available on select vehicles.
You Don’t Need to Trade In Your Tesla
To activate your FSD transfer, you’ll need to reach out to your local Tesla delivery center by text message and let them know you want to transfer FSD, as it’s currently not an option on Tesla’s site.
Final FSD Transfer Offer?
This could be the final FSD transfer period, as Elon Musk was very reticent to bring it back, citing shrinking margins on new vehicle sales. However, Musk did say Tesla will offer additional free FSD trials again in the future.
The FSD transfer offer is an excellent opportunity for owners with HW3 vehicles to upgrade to HW4, in anticipation of the expected divergence of Hardware 4 or Tesla’s upcoming Hardware 5.0, which Tesla is calling AI 5.
