Tesla Extends FSD Transfer Promo to March 31, 2026: Key Changes and What It Means for Buyers

Tesla Extends FSD Transfer Promo to March 31, 2026: Key Changes and What It Means for Buyers

Tesla has just announced an extension to its popular Full Self-Driving (FSD) transfer promotion, pushing the deadline all the way to March 31, 2026. This is a big deal for current FSD owners looking to upgrade or switch vehicles, but there are some important nuances and a tight timeline for outright FSD purchases. Let's break it down.

The FSD Transfer Promotion Details

Tesla is notifying US customers that the free FSD transfer—allowing you to move FSD from your current vehicle to a new one—will officially end on March 31, 2026. Here's what's new:

• Place your order by March 31, 2026 to qualify. You can take delivery later—no rush to get the car by quarter-end.
• This is a shift from Tesla's previous policy, which required delivery by the end of the quarter to lock it in.

Tesla has waved this promo on and off before, but specifying an exact end date (after previously just saying "end of quarter") feels like a stronger signal they mean business this time. Why not push for Q1 deliveries to boost sales in their historically weakest quarter? It hints at real changes ahead.

"This is a potentially stronger signal that Tesla really will end free FSD transfer this quarter. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the company tell people to take delivery by March 31st to boost Q1 deliveries?" — Industry observers

Urgent: FSD Purchase Deadline is Valentine's Day

If you're buying FSD outright for $8,000 on your current vehicle, act fast! Elon Musk has indicated this one-time purchase option ends on February 14 (Valentine's Day), shifting to a subscription-only model afterward. That's about a month from now (depending on when you're reading this).

Pro Tip: We've covered ways to finance it cheaper, like 0% APR credit cards or the [Chase Business Link](https://link in video description) via referral (check the resources below).

Hardware Concerns and Community Buzz

Not everyone's thrilled:

• HW3 owners feel locked in after promises of full FSD capability.
• Calls for "one free transfer per owner" regardless of vehicle.

HW4 is performing impeccably right now, but if you're stacking incentives, FSD could add $4,000–$8,000 in value to your deal. Does this extension change your timeline?

Pending Delivery? Get FSD Half Off

Expect New Incentives Soon

With these deadlines looming, I'm betting on fresh Tesla incentives post-earnings call—maybe this week or next. Stay tuned!
