Tesla just made the rules crystal clear on a low-mileage Model S by adding an explicit note under the software tab: full self driving supervised included not transferable.
This is the first time I've seen this specific wording appear, and it directly addresses the confusion around Tesla full self driving transferable status. The vehicle in question has only 3,000 miles, so it's likely one of the newer builds where the FSD transfer policy update has been applied at the factory level.
What the note actually means
The language leaves zero room for interpretation. The FSD capability stays locked to that specific vehicle. It cannot be moved to another Tesla you own, and it will not transfer to a second owner during a sale. If someone tries to sell you a used Tesla claiming the FSD will move with the car, this new disclosure proves otherwise.
For anyone considering buying used Tesla FSD, this update is a welcome safeguard against expensive misunderstandings. Previously, buyers had to dig through forums or contact support to confirm transfer eligibility. Now the information sits right in the app.
Why this matters for current owners
Model S FSD transfer details are now unambiguous on vehicles carrying this label. If you're planning to upgrade or sell, assume the FSD stays behind. I've covered the broader topic of whether transfers will return in the future over at this post.
Tesla still needs to apply the same level of clarity to basic Autopilot, traffic-aware cruise control, and other feature bundles. Too many used buyers remain unsure exactly what software travels with the car.
Bottom line
The new disclosure protects buyers and sellers alike. Always check the software tab before finalizing any used Tesla purchase, especially when FSD is part of the conversation. Tesla FSD not transferable is no longer an assumption—it's now printed in plain sight.
