Tesla has announced a renewed offer allowing customers to transfer their Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised packages to new vehicles purchased by the end of the year. This move follows the company’s recent unveiling of the Cybercab and Robovan autonomous platforms. Customers interested in upgrading can now take advantage of this limited-time promotion to enhance their driving experience with the latest models. The extension aims to provide flexibility for Tesla owners looking to adopt new technologies without additional costs.
Previously, Tesla has offered FSD transfers multiple times, initially launching the promotion as a “one-time amnesty” last year. The recurrent offerings indicate strong customer demand and the company’s willingness to accommodate user requests. This latest extension continues the trend of providing transfer options beyond the initial promotional period.
Eligibility Criteria for FSD Transfer
The FSD Supervised transfer offer is available to customers who purchase a new Tesla vehicle between October 10, 2024, and December 31, 2024. Exclusions include inventory, commercial, leased, or previously totaled vehicles, as well as those delivered before October 10. This ensures the promotion targets new ownership within the specified timeframe.
Company’s Statement on the Promotion
“Customers who take delivery of a new Tesla vehicle between October 10, 2024 and December 31, 2024 may qualify for transferring Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised) from their current vehicle to their new vehicle,”
Tesla clarified in its support page, emphasizing the limited nature of the offer. Elon Musk acknowledged the complexity of the transfer process, stating,
“It is pretty complex for us to do this, it sort of adds a fair bit of complexity to the sales process, but yeah. And it is tough, because we’ve got to earn revenue somehow, so… You know, transfer is tough.”
Relation to Cybercab and Robovan Launch
The re-initiation of the FSD transfer program coincides with Tesla’s introduction of new autonomous vehicle platforms, Cybercab and Robovan. This strategic timing may suggest an integrated approach to showcasing Tesla’s advancements in self-driving technology. Additionally, Musk announced plans to deploy FSD Unsupervised in California and Texas by next year during the same event.
The renewed availability of FSD Supervised transfers offers Tesla customers increased flexibility in upgrading their vehicles with advanced autonomous features. By aligning this promotion with the launch of new vehicle platforms, Tesla underscores its commitment to expanding its self-driving technology offerings. Consumers considering a new Tesla purchase by the end of the year can benefit from this limited-time transfer option, potentially enhancing their driving experience without additional investment in FSD capabilities.
