Transfer paid FSD to new 3/Y & buy last X/S?

I have a 2017 S with paid for FSD. I'm thinking I should do the FSD transfer to a new 3 or Y since the transfer program is ending & I feel like the FSD going to be under-utilized on my HW3 S. Sell my used S. I love the S & am sad it is being discontinued. Grab a new S for Luxe "free gas" & FSD. Or an X because I could utilize a SUV if I don't get a Y. I'm 98% probably just daydreaming because I definitely do not need 2 new cars for $150,000 plus taxes & fees (NJ). But I'm just wondering if I should try to extract more value from my paid FSD while fawning over a new S (I think the S is one of the most beautiful cars ever made). I don't think selling my used S with FSD will bump the price up that much to a private buyer.

I also own a 2017 S with FSD and if my wife weren't insistent that our next car needs to have a real third row I would be buying a new Y. Heck of a car for the price.

Economically wise, it doesn’t make any sense to do that. You’ll be trading a pretty fully depreciated car to two brands new cars depreciating at full value to “save” your FSD.

That's a good take.

Spend $150k for something you bought for $8k (that is worth $1-2k in the used car market) - probably not the best chance financially 😂
