Tesla has extended the deadline for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software transfers, giving car buyers an additional month to claim the special offer. Originally set to end on August 31, the deadline has been extended to the end of September. The promotion allows buyers of a new Tesla vehicle to transfer their already-owned FSD software to a newly purchased car for free when taking delivery before the deadline. Buyers in the U.S. and Canada can purchase FSD as a monthly subscription for $99 USD or as a one-time purchase for $8,000 USD.
During Tesla’s recent shareholder meeting, CEO Elon Musk agreed to allow FSD transfers for “one more quarter” after a request from an audience member. The promotion, initially a “one-time amnesty” last year, has been extended several times to allow transfers of FSD to new vehicles. Tesla has been aggressively promoting FSD by reducing subscription and purchase prices, offering one-month free trials to new vehicle buyers, and requiring employees to offer test drives. The company also plans to unveil an FSD-based robotaxi platform next month and has teased a mobile application for a ride-hailing service.
Tesla is preparing to launch FSD in China and potentially other markets, with some vehicles in China already being tested using the software. Tesla China is set to test 10 FSD vehicles ahead of an expected public rollout.
