Wait for MYP arriving after FSD transfer deadline, or get new inventory Premium before 3/31?

ronin949 | 2026-03-13 03:28 | 23 views

Placed the order earlier this month and the Estimated delivery originally said March-April, but now it’s showing April-May. Wanted to transfer FSD from 2022 MYP, but now it likely won’t arrive prior to the deadline. What would you do? Wait for the Performance and just pay the $99/mo plan, or grab a Premium from the earlier pickup inventory to secure the FSD transfer? I can afford the $99/mo, and do like the performance trim vs premium. It’s just the principle of thinking I still had time to order before 3/31 before the random switch to take-delivery, and now paying Tesla another $1200/yr. Just curious of others’ thoughts. Thanks!

Did you order when it said “order by march 31” or when it said “take delivery by march 31”? They changed it but are honoring whatever it said when you ordered.

ronin949 2026-03-13 03:48

It was a few days after they changed it, thanks

Great question in same predicament

tanowak 2026-03-13 04:03

Considering picking up on lot inventory built Jan 14/15, can anyone tell me why I shouldn’t

What are you switching from? I went from 23P to 26AWD and the refresh is amazing. So much smoother. That being said I was in same spot as you (white model Y P on order) and just kept refreshing new inventory and was able to get a Cybertruck that was in transit to my local pickup center. They said it will be there by March 28.

I got an inventory one. Didn't want to risk it and found the one I wanted close by.

ronin949 2026-03-13 04:59

Switching from a 22P, will just keep refreshing too and see how things play out

I bet you a dollar transfer comes back when they need to juice sales at quarter/ year end

100%

I didn’t have FSD to transfer but my Performance EDD was May/June after already waiting 6 weeks..`I chose not to wait any longer.Found my configuration in a Premium inventory car. Switched my order to that car on Tuesday. Picked it up today (Thursday). So glad to be done with that roller coaster.

Just initiate the transfer from your current vehicle to your reservation before March 31st, or you likely won't be able to complete a FREE FSD transfer. I did it; I'm going to take delivery before the end of the month. If there are delays at Tesla and my vehicle doesn't arrive, I'm not concerned because the transfer was already initiated.

dellfanboy 2026-03-13 06:09

It might. But what if it doesn't?

DammatBeevis666 2026-03-13 06:28

Then you can rent it from Tesla?

LangkawiBoy 2026-03-13 07:03

Do you have an official reference to this and what the exact date was?

ronin949 2026-03-13 07:29

Was thinking this as well, seems probable they'll flip flop on it once again.

flexonyou97 2026-03-13 08:26

Damn why eat almost 50k in depreciation after 4 years? Keep your current car until it breaks

K3jai 2026-03-13 08:54

Get the AWD premium!

K3jai 2026-03-13 08:58

AWD premium to get the FSD transfer on time. You can buy acceleration boost to shave off half a second.

Beezedogg 2026-03-13 10:26

I appreciate your predicament as I was in the exact same situation as you. I ended up test driving the AWD Premium and was happy with it, so decided to pick one up in inventory that had the color combination I liked, and I get it tomorrow! That being said, you have to do what works for you. If I didn’t do the FSD transfer, I was going to hang on to my current 3 and wait for a year+ for HW/AI5. Will FSD transfer come back again, maybe, but who knows!

nagelk87 2026-03-13 10:28

Why buy a performance just to let it drive itself? Seems counterintuitive. If you want to drive the car buy the performance, if you want the car to drive itself get the FSD premium

Jman841 2026-03-13 11:11

Get the premium with FSD. I have the performance. It’s nice, but I would def take FSD over the minor upgrades on the performance.

cac2573 2026-03-13 13:51

I opted to get a premium from inventory instead. I’ll get a P used in the future with AI5 and without eating the depreciation. Sucks because I was looking forward to the MYP, but now we have a roadtrip king with FSD in the form of a Premium RWD.

cac2573 2026-03-13 14:04

Citation needed. I haven’t read that anywhere.

> They changed it but are honoring whatever it said when you ordered. This is what needs to be cited.

cac2573 2026-03-13 15:19

Yes, thank you. I’m aware of that as I was impacted. What hasn’t been cited yet is the claim that they’ll honor the “order by March 31”.

No.

Sawyer tweets are not Tesla policy.

IPThereforeIAm 2026-03-13 16:44

Look up “reasonable reliance”

epradox 2026-03-13 17:10

People have been saying that Tesla is offering deposits refunds instead of honoring that deal

epradox 2026-03-13 17:16

Bigger screen and black headliner are the only differences of the more updated juniper. If that inventory model has that then there’s no difference

tanowak 2026-03-13 17:40

Alright… trying to tease out where the suspension issues are from (manufacturing site/dates etc). Do you know if this issue persists in the current update?

ace2231 2026-03-13 23:48

I just took delivery today because I didn’t want to risk it.

ronin949 2026-03-13 23:54

Because why not both? I really enjoy spirited driving, but there are times when we all would rather be driven, I'm sure others can relate

NoExpert2408 2026-03-14 01:07

Get the Premium, transfer FSD and buy the performance boost.
