After numerous requests by house owners through the years, CEO Elon Musk lastly agreed final 12 months to permit house owners to switch FSD to a brand new Tesla. The provide was just for a restricted time nevertheless, with clients having to take supply earlier than the top of September to be able to qualify. Musk introduced the switch provide in the course of the firm’s earnings name, saying on the time, “it is a one-time amnesty, so it’s worthwhile to make the most of it in Q3.”
Nevertheless, regardless of these phrases, the provide has returned, in line with a screenshot of a trade-in estimate shared by X person @Lipsytee, which says the estimate “contains switch of your present trade-in car’s FSD functionality for gratis to you for those who take supply of a brand new Tesla car by March 31, 2024.”

Sadly this provide seems to to this point solely be for patrons within the US. Drive Tesla reached out to our native Service Heart to verify, they usually weren’t conscious of the provide. Nevertheless, considered one of our readers Bruce additionally contacted their native advisor in Edmonton, and was instructed it was not legitimate in Canada. We’ve got additionally made a trade-in request on our FSD-equipped Mannequin 3 to see if we get the identical message, however haven’t but acquired the estimate. We are going to replace this text when it it despatched.
Tesla has not up to date their web site so as to add a assist web page for FSD switch like they did final time, so we aren’t certain of the precise eligibility necessities, however there do look like some variations in comparison with final 12 months.
The primary is that the message above says it requires a trade-in. Final 12 months you didn’t even have to promote your automotive, with Tesla merely eradicating FSD out of your present automotive and transferring it to your new one if that’s what you most popular.
The opposite attainable distinction is that it says you have to take supply by March 31, 2024. Whereas having a supply deadline is technically the identical because the phrases that had been used final time, Tesla did finally give in to the strain and agreed to honour FSD transfers for deliveries made after the deadline. This occurred as a result of supply timelines are out of a buyer’s management, so Tesla allowed it as long as you accomplished sure steps earlier than the deadline.
Given this transformation, we’d have anticipated Tesla to replace the wording to not make it contingent on a supply date, however they might nonetheless comply with the identical course of as final 12 months.
Presently, FSD Functionality prices $12,000 within the US, and $16,500 in Canada.
