Scam

Not really, just desperation for sales

Doesn't seem to be limited to any specific models. Details: [https://www.tesla.com/support/fsd-transfer](https://www.tesla.com/support/fsd-transfer)

Saying something is only going to be offered one time, then to go on and offer it another 5 times, is definitely scam worthy.

Now if only they'd allow me to transfer my SC01 from my 2014 MS85...

Is there confirmation from Tesla anywhere? I looked around didn't see the offer on Tesla.com, didn't receive any email...

Sorry I don’t follow, doesn’t Juniper come with FSD?

It’s an optional extra on the [Tesla US](https://www.tesla.com/modely/design) order page from what I see.

I don’t need another tesla, already have 2 but if I get 0%, free SC, FSD I am buying!

Not transferring until they upgrade my MY from HW3 to HW4 😒

Only the Launch Edition did.

https://www.tesla.com/support/fsd-transfer

I don’t understand. Why would you care if youre transferring

https://www.tesla.com/support/fsd-transfer

It's a great deal for Tesla as it's probably cheaper to transfer than paying to retrofit vehicles with insufficient hardware.

That’s me too! Going from a 2018 3 to a 2026 Y. I ordered Friday when they announced this and amazingly they had my car configuration available and I pick it up Monday.

lol same.

To be honest,I’ll never buy it until I know I can transfer it to any new Tesla purchase. It should actually be able to be transferred to any Tesla like a license new or not on used purchases to tbh… Elon, imagine the surge in sales Tesla would get!

This is what happens when there is actual competition for Tesla. Big win for those that have been looking to upgrade with FSD!

Got my Plaid and non Juniper MY with FSD transfers.

You don’t have to trade it in either. You can keep your old car and still transfer to the new one if you want to keep both.

I just picked up my new Model Y today and my FSD came with me. I was pleasantly surprised lol

I received the email offer. It's real.

I received an email from Tesla yesterday about it so it is verified.

Why purchase it when its just cheaper to do monthly and put the rest in a high yield savings account??

It is the point of the thing. After a while you just stand your ground and make them own it. edit: I really want a RWD option to replace my 2018 RWD. I will be very disappointed if they treat it similar to the CT RWD.

But that is the whole point of the free transfer. You get HW4 (and a new better Tesla)

Just with the added cost of having to buy a whole new car—crazy how well that works out for Tesla! They didn't have to spend the money to retrofit the car that you paid $7-15k on FSD for, AND you gave them an additional (insert profit margin here) on the new car!

I got my monies worth out of my 2019 M3 with FSD and made enough on Tesla stock to buy a small fleet of cars so it worked out crazy good for me also!

Really? I had never heard this detail. But just cause sometimes I’m an idiot, the old car loses FSD, right?

Yeah unless you are going to own it for many years monthly is better.

Correct. You transfer it from current car to the new one

Cuz some of us bought it when it was like 3k

Eh, "limited-time-only" "get it before it's gone" sales have been happening since the first caveman tried to sell a big rock. Puffery.

Now, if only I were willing to give Tesla more money in the current circumstances....

I'm keeping the current one? Can't a man have 2 Teslas at home?

[removed]

Waiting to transfer to the Y too!!

[removed]

The email I got yesterday specifically says that a trade in is not required.

Too bad I can't transfer it to my Plaid.

You just need both vehicles on the same account to transfer (and meet other eligibility requirements).

The S/X already have free charging

My 2014 has SC01, but not on my 21 Plaid.

I've bought FSD outright. The concept is the vehicle will be upgraded as it advances to ensure that it can do full self drive.

I bought FSD outright also . . . but the purchase agreement was very specific. There was NO guarantee of eventual full self drive. That was presented as an aspirational goal and in no way assured. FSD was sold 'as is' and any future development was a bonus.

Musk himself talked about replacing HW3 to HW4. So it's very likely to happen... The only issue when he says things is the timeline... Might be 5 years from now, might be 50 years from now 🤣

…and the terms note that you can never transfer FSD out from Juniper Launch Ed in the future.

All new cars get one month FSD for free.

How about early performance model 3 owners lol. Let me transfer my unlimited supercharging and connectivity along with a discount and we can talk

Can someone explain how you opt for this on a new purchase? I don’t see anything on the ordering site that indicates the that I would like to do this.

I know, thankfully I got a notification and email confirming it transferred. Thank god lol

Or people switching brands

In Australia we have a RWD MY and it is not cut down at all other than 0-60/range, even has the premium speakers.

Never done it, but I found this... https://x.com/landpet2/status/1915906767160266905

I was told buy rep you dont have to trade in the car. You just have to be the owner at time of transfer, just fyi.

Let’s see, they ripped me off by promising something they never delivered in 6 years on my current car, so I’ll buy another from them because somehow now I should trust them? Hmmm. I would maybe do this if they fired Elon and found a straight shooter to run the place. Until then, I kinda think this is my last Tesla.

Of course lmfao

How long would it take you to use $8k in supercharging and the annual fee for connectivity?

I bought a used 2018 Model 3 in December that had FSD. During the process the private seller let me know that he transferred it over to his new Model 3. I think it might be more convenient now, but I don’t think it was impossible before. He had to take both cars into a SC to do the transfer. It sucks for me because it’s HW2.5 and incompatible with the monthly FSD. I have to pay $8K to get FSD or upgrade hardware. Right now I’m leaning toward comma.ai instead.

US only or worldwide ?

Shut really?

That’s the complete opposite of what Musk has been conveying for the past 8 years

dollar cost averaging still says the monthly sub is better but its all you. Don't want to yuck your yum.

Pretty sure it's only the model Y ?!?!?!

Notice that they added FSD supervised to the wording. So I think you'll lose the unsupervised FSD purchase.

Pretty sure they are removing the unsupervised form of FSD from all transfers. Notice the wording says supervised FSD. They're using it to get off the hook on upgrading as many HW3 cars as possible. I'm keeping mine until they fulfill the FSD, which is level 4 autonomy.

Thank you so much! I’ve searched online, posted this question on a few forums, and this is the first response! And helpful! Now to convince my wife😬

[removed]

They refer to it as FSD (unsupervised) for the current car too. I think that’s just what they are legally obligated to call it now, until it reaches a higher level of autonomy.

Can Tesla stop beating around the bush and apply FSD (and other benefits) directly to accounts and not the cars themselves....

The (supervised) has been part of the description for a while now

My offer states this: Bring Your FSD (Supervised) With You It’s back—you can now transfer your Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to a new Tesla for a limited time.*

Elon in December: "We'll never do FSD transfer again" Now: "We've automated FSD transfer" IIRC before it was a printed form you had to fill out and sign and then they transferred it manually. If they went through the trouble to spend expensive engineer man-hours to automate this (it probably cost $20k+ to build and test this feature... which is only 2 engineer-weeks), it's something they plan on bringing back.

I was being rhetorical.

That's a very principled stance you're taking and I respect you for it. Playing it out to the end (whenever that is) you leave Tesla with the following options: 1. Deliver on unsupervised FSD that works on HW3 (unlikely) 2. Deliver on unsupervised FSD that works on HW4 and retrofit your car with HW4 (potentially very expensive) 3. Refund you the price you paid (probably $5k-$6k) for FSD for failure to deliver all features (without interest) The #3 seems like the most likely option and for me it's just not worth the $6k to hold Tesla's feet to the fire on this. So I'm upgrading and taking advantage of the free transfer. Seems like a win-win to me. There are too many other things I love about Tesla (supercharger network, buying experience, new features regularly added post-purchase, to name a few reasons) for me to decide to die on this hill.

The FSD transfer offer appears to apply to all models.

Thank you! I appreciate you

Can you transfer FSD to a lease and do a lease buyout? I don’t qualify for the tax credit and am looking to take advantage of FSD transfer and lease buyout. Any tips appreciated!

I’m interested in this too. We don’t qualify for the 7500 tax incentive but understand that it’s built into leasing.

[deleted]

Same here! The moment it went up, I ordered. Super excited. Grats!

I'm sure they'll offer it more so they can avoid retrofitting HW3 cars now that it's obviously they can't do FSD with HW3. Too many class action lawsuits over it already, the probably expect to lose them.

I bought a used model 3 with fsd on it 2 years ago. Will tesla allow me to also transfer the fsd off this vehicle to a new car?

How much does it lower the trade in value if you remove FSD from your trade in vehicle? From Tesla website: If you are trading in your vehicle, the trade-in vehicle will be valued as though it has basic Autopilot only, as FSD (Supervised) will be removed and transferred to the new vehicle.

Well, I can't afford a MX P100D Plaid new so I'll be dieing on this hill.

How much are you getting for your 2018 M3? Half the reason I didn't trade up is because they're practically worthless now and I might as well just keep it for another 100k miles

Nope. Can’t transfer to a lease. It’s in the details of the email

First half is done. Now, they just need to double their trade in offer to put me in a HW4 car. Designing a whole new HW4 computer that fits in the HW3 space and uses the HW3 cooling system is ridiculous.

So consumers who purchased a vehicle or FSD prior to 2018?

I have the option to buy FSD on my 2018 Model 3 for $2000, which includes the hardware upgrade (I currently have the 2.5 computer). How far along has FSD come? Are there any real advantages over EAP other than traffic light and stop sign recognition?

I can't afford that either. But, with the trade in value of my Model 3, I'm hoping to pay under $25k, out the door, for a new Model Y.

It’s not amazingly. They sold so many fewer cars and didn’t augment the build plan. It’s literally sitting inventory.

Hopefully FUS transfer is next !

Sorry if I'm being dumb... What is FUS?

Because it currently requires supervision...

Yes, you only have to be the owner at the time of the transfer

Free Use Supercharging SC01

The offer is also in the tesla app text messages.

So fyi, this is false. Just transferred to a leased Cybertruck.

Same here.

Wait until HW5 comes out.

Counting on it. But I would be satisfied with just HW4 upgrade on my Y

How many Windows licences have you bought so far in life?

Was it advertised as a future fully autonomous feature?

They'll probably own it as a car upgrade itself rather than hardware for the few remaining cases of stubborn people that want them to find a costly technical solution.

What company is doing a better job of trying to improve and show transparency of its supply chain, working conditions and lower its impact on climate?

They'll deliver sooner or later. If you want to change car, you have the opportunity to have it delivered to you sooner for free. This is an opportunity presented, a win-win situation. You don't want it, refuse by doing nothing.

Yes! This is possible and what I plan to do

negative

Can I also transfer unlimited connectivity? Until I can transfer both, I'd rather get another brand or at least till Musk is no longer associated with Tesla in any capacity.

I don't like the Y redesign so I'll be holding onto my 2021 for HW4 or better. No way I'm getting another Tesla while Elon is at the helm.

Can we "draft" like Nascar with other say 5 or even 10 teslas rolling in one lane like a woolly watt worm in FSD by lowering the drag coefficient it increasing range?

Imagine paying for a windows license lmao

It’s just bundled with the computer which means you still paid for it. Microsoft isn’t just giving it away to PC manufacturers.

Lmao no, no I didn't

I have EAP. It's $2000 to go to FSD. Anyone upgrade their FSD then transfer their FSD to a new purchase?

The US website has free supercharging for model S's right now. Combined with the FSD xfer, that's pretty appealing. Although personally I would hold out for HW5 at this point since it was estimated to debut late this year.

Brother those aren’t two different things they are just not labelled consistently

You are getting lost in semantics and don’t understand that FSD is a single product, there are not different versions you can buy into. FSD is currently supervised, there is no unsupervised FSD available to users right now lmao

I’m soooo close to hitting the order button on a MSP, but my less impulsive side is screaming at me to wait for the refresh and HW5.

I have FSD on my 2018 Model 3 and it’s pretty damn good tbh. You still need to pay attention, but it does the bulk of my driving. I did just over 22k miles last year.

ya at this point I'd wait for sure personally. The rumor seems to be by EoY for both HW5 and refresh.. we'll see. I'm real curious what they do to the front and back.

Excellent!

I plan to add a new car instead of replacing. I have EAP on my 2018 M3. I can pay $2k to upgrade to HW3 and FSD. If I transfer to FSD to a new purchase, what features remain on my 2018 M3? They changed the tiers a lot since I bought EAP and would like to keep adaptive cruise control and lane assist at a minimum.

I'm surprised the previous owner never had the HW upgraded. it should have been a free upgrade for him

Yea. I don't know why he never did the upgrade.

would hw3 become obsolete? i am looking at a 2023 hw3 with fsd.

Did the FSD transfer really work to a leased vehicle? How did you do this?

I wonder, how’s does it show up on the new vehicle invoice — ideally not at all so you don’t pay registration taxes/fees on it

Dunno if you ended up doing this, but you have to trade in your car with Tesla to get it? If so, that’s a major string attached

No, you do not have to trade your car in. If you do not trade your car in, you must still own your car at the time of taking delivery of the new car it's being transferred to. At least that's how I understand it.
