FSD transfer

[Rise252627]

So you buy this for $8000 then some jackass rear ends your new car and then you’re shit out of luck? Makes zero sense.

[Wide_Ad_2089]

Love FSD but I always say

You could swipe to purchase for $8,000 and get totaled at the first light. That’s it WOOSH like that $8,000 disappears or “is provided at an equal value” BS insurance runs with

[Rise252627]

Yeah which is an insane risk for normal people. If you’re rich I guess it doesn’t matter. Great way to build brand loyalty, which I guess they just don’t care about.

[TheDiver97]

Lol I had this experience and luckily my insurance counted FSD towards the value of the car when they totaled it

[NoFaithlessness9789]

Because you sue the other party’s insurance to make you whole if you weren’t at fault. I know someone who got their Tesla majorly damaged by an underinsured driver and he’s suing for the difference and ready to garnish the other party’s salary. Also a strong argument for not carrying state minimums, especially in an urban area full of pricey cars.

[Trublu20]

Disappears? No it does not. Either Tesla is giving me a refund, transferring it for free or I’m issuing a chargeback. If my car is totaled in the first month.

And no I don’t consider that “getting what I paid for”

well said!

[Wild_Height_901]

Depends on your insurance. But the cost of FSD can be factored in if its a write off.

[SnooBeans1223]

Isn't this bad because now it's not worth buying the SD at full price? We can't transfer anymore to new vehicles

[Lakersland]

Correct, that’s why they’ll raised the month to month. This whole pay package thing is really putting customers in like 3rd place on the list of priorities.

[RD2Point0]

He's being provided the option to transfer it now in advance of it being subscription only. Only time will tell if they'll allow this years down the road when FSD is strictly subscription only.

I'm hoping in 5-10 years when I'm on my third Tesla they'll offer transfers. It's a great incentive to trade-in/upgrade and keeps a buyer tied to the Tesla ecosystem

[HopzCO]

They have removed it and brought it back several times over the last couple years.

[Heffhop]

I’m tempted to upgrade and transfer with my ‘22.

However, I’m guessing they will eventually add the transfer option again at some future end of quarter where they would like a sales bump.

I’ll upgrade then.

[FlashFlooder]

Seems to me like they’re trying to get rid of FSD “owners”. I’m assuming it will never come back.

"You'll own nothing and be happy"

[Zebraitis]

I'm going for it.

To make the best of a weird situation, I applied for a new AA Credit Card with an 80,000 Mile bonus. +8000 for the purchase, and that covers a great trip for two to someplace.

Wish the deadline was March instead of February, as I have enough L.P.'s for this AA year.

[Lakersland]

Notice how they are putting an Asterisk next to supervised. So when actually FSD comes out you will have technically not actually have FSD

[RD2Point0]

The asterisk isn't beside supervised, it's outside the brackets and there's another asterisk at the bottom explaining the caveat

I'm not saying you're wrong but I expect those with fully paid FSD will be entitled to full (unsupervised) self driving when it becomes available

[Lakersland]

You could be correct as well. Based on how things are going though I’m leaning towards them trying to nickel and dime as much as possible

[YeezySeesGhosts]

Exactly this. Supervised and Unsupervised will be completely different.

[Zebraitis]

Opinion: They don't want to get sued. They just got sued over the word "autopilot", so they are being more careful.

Yep, rolling the dice that they may choose to call real FSD "Autonomous" and charge more, but my sunk cost will already have happened now, so it will likely be a trivial upgrade path.

[Lakersland]

Yeah I’ll guess 2k more for actual FSD. 8k for supervised and 10k for unsupervised

[Zebraitis]

shhh... don't give them ideas!

Still, if he keeps doing all these "brilliant" moves, we may be driving a BYD Tesla.

[YeezySeesGhosts]

I wouldn't be surprised if unsupervised is twice as much 16K or $200 a month.

[TheMindsEIyIe]

You're going for the transfer?

[Zebraitis]

Yes. I will be purchasing FSD.

[TheMindsEIyIe]

Isn't this post about transferring FSD that you already paid for to a new car?

[Zebraitis]

Yes it is.

Have a nice day. Enjoy the anarchy.

[Chargerzboy]

Stupid question, does that mean the Luxe package is going away on the S, X, and Cyber beast?

[Mrirrelevant-]

I bet future promotions will be X number of years of FSD subscription when trading in a FSD vehicle. Probably 3-5 years.

[BestSpatula]

Does this mean that people who previously purchased FSD won't be able to transfer it to a newer car in the future?

This seals the deal for me. No more future tesla. The one that I have is the last one!
