In a surprising move during the Q2 2023 earnings call on July 19, Tesla‘s CEO, Elon Musk, announced a development that has left car owners and EV enthusiasts thrilled. For the first time ever, Tesla is allowing owners to transfer ownership of its coveted Full Self-Driving Beta (FSD Beta) – a decision that could have a significant impact on how this cutting-edge technology is accessed and utilized in the near future.
The Full Self Driving package is priced at $15,000 in the United States
Tesla’s offer allows existing owners to transfer their FSD Beta to a new Tesla vehicle during the third quarter, which runs until the end of September. This exciting development aims to incentivize current Tesla owners to upgrade to the latest models without the burden of repurchasing the costly FSD package, priced at $15,000 in the US or available as a monthly subscription at $199 for Basic Autopilot and $99 for Enhanced Autopilot-equipped cars.
The terms and conditions for the FSD Beta transfer program have been laid out for eligibility. To qualify, owners must have Full Self-Driving capability in their current Tesla vehicle at the time of delivery of their new vehicle. Furthermore, this offer is only applicable to new Tesla vehicles delivered between July 20 and September 30, 2023.
For those eager to take advantage of the offer, they must either forfeit the FSD capability on their current Tesla or choose to trade in their vehicle directly with Tesla when purchasing a new one. Tesla will then remove the FSD capability from the original vehicle up to one week before the scheduled delivery of the new Tesla, with a short automatic reboot during the process.
It’s essential to note that this transfer can only occur once and cannot be transferred to another vehicle or another individual, even through private sale. Additionally, the offer cannot be combined with other promotions and becomes non-reversible once the new Tesla vehicle is delivered or the FSD capability is removed from the existing vehicle, whichever comes first.
