Tesla Extends FSD Transfer Promotion: Lock It In Before March 31 + Top EV Updates
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW. Welcome back to another deep dive into Tesla deal hacking and the latest EV buzz. In today's post (based on my recent live stream), we're breaking down the big news: Tesla has extended their Full Self-Driving (FSD) transfer promotion. It still technically ends on March 31, but they've given you a smart loophole to extend your timeline. Plus, we've got hypermiling records, app updates, Rivian deals, and more. Let's jump in!
Tesla's FSD Transfer Extension: What You Need to Know
Tesla just updated their free FSD transfer policy, and it's a game-changer for owners with FSD on older vehicles. Key details:
- Order deadline: Place your new Tesla order by March 31, 2026. This buys you extra time to transfer FSD from your current car before taking delivery.
- No transfer from Launch Series (Lux) packages on new vehicles.
- Once transferred, FSD stays with the new vehicle—even if you sell it to a third party (it doesn't vanish like some myths suggest).
I'd peg the odds of this promo returning at 20-30%. Tesla loves flipping incentives to boost demand, so if you have FSD, this is your shot to upgrade to a newer Model Y or beyond.
Pro Tip: If selling your old Tesla, check out Plug in the description—they're offering $3K-$5K more than Tesla trade-ins based on viewer screenshots.
Also, with Model S/X production winding down in ~4 months, time to act if that's your vibe.
Quick FSD Purchase Hack
Only 7 days left (as of stream) to add $8K FSD to your order and lock it in. Use a referral code (mine's below) for up to $1K off your vehicle. Add it now—you can remove later, but post-14th, edits might lock.
Model Y Tire Switch-Up
New Model Ys are shipping with Bridgestone Turanza tires instead of Hankook iON. Inventory shift? I've had Bridgestones on my Model X—solid performance. Drop your tire thoughts in the comments!
Insane Hypermiling: 506 Miles on a Model Y
YouTuber Bor Bjorn hit 506 miles on a single charge in a Juniper refresh Model Y Long Range RWD—at 50 mph constant speed. Efficiency? 154 Wh/mi. Windows up, no AC, hypermiling mastery. Proof: 500+ mile real-world range is possible!
Tesla App Update 4.53.5: Hidden Gems
App Store notes reveal exciting features rolling out:
- Powerwall visuals: Better SOC graphs.
- Full KYC for fleets.
- Native returns for Tesla Shop (Amazon-style—huge for DOA items).
- New IMX00 camera sensors on fresh builds.
- Immobilizer command: Remotely disable drive/throttle/gears (fleet-first, but anti-theft gold?).

- Dashcam multi-delete.
