Musk: Tesla will hold events again to open FSD function transfer

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced at today’s shareholder meeting that it will once again expand a quarterly event that allows car owners to transfer Fully Self-Driving (FSD) functions to newly purchased Tesla vehicles. This decision is undoubtedly a positive signal for car owners who have been waiting for the realization of FSD's fully autonomous driving function for a long time.

Although Tesla’s FSD system has been publicly sold for many years, it is still not fully developed. Currently, car owners can experience the FSD Beta version, now renamed FSD Supervised, while the fully autonomous driving system has yet to be officially put into use. So, for those owners who have purchased multiple Tesla vehicles, there has always been a question: why do you need to buy the same software again when you trade up to a new car? Especially when the practical application of FSD is still out of reach.

Tesla had already made a similar policy adjustment in April this year, allowing owners of the new Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model Free transfer to another new vehicle. In addition, FSD permissions may also be transferred simultaneously with other preferential policies such as free super charging service. However, Tesla’s official website clearly states that vehicles delivered before February 3, 2024, second-hand inventory vehicles, commercial vehicles and leased vehicles are not eligible for free transfer terms, and FSD transfer qualifications are not eligible for total loss of vehicles.

Tesla briefly supported FSD transfers last year, but it only lasted two months before being terminated. When asked during the most recent quarterly conference call whether the FSD transfer could be made permanent, Musk said no in clear terms. However, when faced with the question of whether quarterly activities can be carried out again to achieve the FSD transfer, Musk feinted, believing that achieving this transfer within Tesla’s sales framework was a “complicated” matter, but he ultimately Still gave a positive answer.

The adjustment to this policy may, to a certain extent, alleviate some car owners’ doubts and dissatisfaction with the FSD function. At the same time, Tesla is working hard to balance the relationship between technological innovation and cost control to satisfy consumers and demand.
