Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) transfer program, a strategic incentive to boost end-of-quarter deliveries, has been intermittently available in North America for years. While the offer was reintroduced there in April, its availability remained region-locked—until now. Responding to Elon Musk’s recent tweet advocating fairness, Tesla has swiftly rolled out FSD transfers in Europe and the Middle East, marking a significant expansion. The announcement, shared via Tesla’s official X account, signals the company’s push to align global markets with its North American strategy, though notably excluding regions like China and Oceania where FSD is either operational or imminent.
The mechanics of FSD transfer are straightforward: eligible owners purchasing a new Tesla during the promotion can migrate their FSD license from their old vehicle to the new one. During ordering, buyers must skip FSD selection and notify their sales advisor to initiate the transfer. Upon delivery, FSD is deactivated on the legacy vehicle and instantly enabled on the new one—regardless of trade-in status. This move is a win for brand loyalty, sparing repeat customers the hefty cost of FSD, which many have yet to fully utilize beyond features like Smart Summon due to regulatory delays.
However, Tesla’s selective regional rollout raises questions. While FSD beta testing advances in Australia and China, Europe’s sluggish regulatory approvals remain a bottleneck. For now, European and Middle Eastern buyers can at least future-proof their purchases with Hardware 4-equipped vehicles, poised to support FSD’s eventual launch. As Tesla navigates regulatory hurdles, this transfer program offers a temporary perk—but full autonomy in Europe still hangs in the balance.
