Tesla reinstates transferable Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities, accompanied by other promotional offers.
Tesla Reinstates Full Self-Driving Transfer and Offers Promotions for Model Y and Model 3
In a significant move for Tesla owners, the company has reinstated the ability to transfer Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities from an old vehicle to a new one. This feature was reintroduced on April 25, 2025, and is currently available in all North American countries, excluding the Launch-Series Model Y and Foundation-Series Cybertruck.
To transfer your FSD, you simply need to place an order and take delivery of your new Tesla during the active FSD transfer promotion period. When ordering the new vehicle, do not add FSD to the new car at checkout; instead, notify a Tesla advisor that you intend to transfer your existing car's FSD to the new vehicle. On delivery day, Tesla will deactivate FSD on your old Tesla and activate it on the new one. You do not need to trade in or sell the old vehicle, but once FSD is transferred, the old car will revert to Basic Autopilot features only.
Tesla is currently running several promotions for Model Y and Model 3 purchases. In the second quarter of 2025, the company offered free FSD transfers for customers in North America, Europe, and the Middle East who order and take delivery of Model Y, Model 3, or other Tesla models within the promotion period (e.g., July 18 to September 30, 2025).
In the United States, new customers purchasing a Model 3 with FSD could take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 60 months and receive three months of free supervised FSD when using a Tesla referral program, valid through Q2 2025 and beyond.
The expansion of free FSD transfer to Europe and the Middle East is a new development, aiming to allow Tesla owners there to carry over their FSD packages without repurchasing when upgrading to new vehicles, enhancing owner loyalty and upgrade incentives.
Tesla is also offering a special campaign offering a $2,000 discount to the earliest Model Y owners who upgrade to the latest version in the United States. The Model 3 promotion offers 0% APR financing on new sales in the United States.
It's important to note that Tesla has not extended these promotions to Canada at this time. The Model Y promotion requires customers to contact their delivery rep through the smartphone app to activate the transfer.
These promotions aim to stimulate sales for Tesla, and the company is offering zero percent financing and a $2,000 incentive for early customers on select models as part of these promotions.
The Model Y promotion is exclusive to the earliest owners of the Model Y in the United States, and the FSD transfer is not available for the Launch-Series Model Y or Foundation-Series Cybertruck. The FSD transfer is currently available for Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and Model S cars. Tesla is not imposing a time limit on the FSD transfer process at this time.
In conclusion, if you are buying a Model Y or Model 3 in this timeframe and already own a Tesla with FSD, you can save thousands of dollars by transferring your existing FSD license instead of purchasing it again, provided you complete the order and delivery within the active promotion period.
