Tesla has announced updated terms for availing free Full Self-Driving (FSD) transfers on new purchases. The eligibility criteria have been revised, and customers who take delivery of their new vehicles between April 24, 2025, and March 31, 2026, may be eligible for free FSD transfers.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the free transfer, customers must be the legal owner and registrant of the current vehicle, and the FSD (Supervised) must have been purchased outright.
FSD in the Spotlight
The news comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the company will stop offering FSD with a one-time payment option after Valentine’s Day next month. Instead, Tesla will offer the FSD system as a $99/month subscription. This move has been praised by Cathie Wood-led ARK Invest, which believes it will create increased value for customers.
Tesla’s Motive
The decision to offer FSD as a subscription-only service has raised questions about Tesla’s motive. Some speculate that it may be tied to Musk’s trillion-dollar pay package, which was approved by investors last November. The package outlines 10 million active FSD subscriptions as one of the milestones the CEO must achieve with Tesla.
Tesla Q4 Earnings
Tesla is set to report its fourth-quarter earnings, where analysts expect the company’s Robotaxi to take center stage. The company has provided revenue estimates ahead of the earnings call, outlining $24.49 billion in revenue in Q4, with $17.29 billion coming from automotive revenue.
Market Performance
Tesla’s stock price slipped 0.99% to $430.90 at market close on Tuesday but gained 0.37% to $432.49 during after-hours trading.
