Oh, MAN! This is awesome! I was about to buy a Model Y but had been really turned off at the idea of having to spend $15,000 for what I paid $6,000 for in 2019. So I figured I would get the $6,000 EAP on the new Y and be almost where I'd want to be. But now I get it all, and don't even have to spend the $6,000 on EAP! THANK YOU, ELON! I'm buying my new Y right away!

Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3
- Thread starter blkswn
- Start date
Wow, that's a lot!
I mentioned Virginia's personal property tax. Big bucks there. Last year, despite the county dropping the rate for my 2020 MY, I paid almost $2000. This hated tax is paid every year you own the car, on 100% of the assessed value. So while you might pay 10% on purchase (I see your breakdown includes car and a yearly tax), it is a slow drip and bleed in Virginia at a higher yearly tax rate.

I purchased my 2017 Model S with EAP. I then upgraded to FSD a couple of years later. Yesterday I transferred the FSD to my new car. The old car was downgraded to Standard Autopilot (which, by the way, wasn’t even an option back in 2017).
I am not 100% clear on whether the FSD on my new car is going to be transferable to the next owner or to my next car (those rules may change overtime), but my decision to take advantage of this FSD Transfer offer wouldn’t depend on that.
Did you pay sales tax when you transferred the FSD? Meaning did you have FSD sales tax removed on your final purchase?
I have a 2020 MY and am seriously considering this because I only have 1 year left on the regular warranty. But also, I like FSD and newer cars have the better hardware.
Should I go X or S, or just trade in for a newer Y? I tried an S but it didn't have FSD so it was impossible to test HW4. The acceleration was wild though even though it wasn't a plaid.

We don’t know what deals will be offered in the future. I have a feeling this is not the last time a license transfer deal is being offered. If it is successful as a demand lever, Tesla might use it again someday.If you read it you will see it is as clear as mud on a black panted window.
I'm surprised people are ordering so soon.
Delivery dates now are July/August. We know Tesla doesn't have model years and make changes as they go so I'd prefer to wait and get a MY built later rather than sooner on the small chance there will be improvements. When I stated this to the sales advisor they suggested I just wait until delivery dates move into September before ordering. We know the factory line upgrade is likely focused on Highland but what if Tesla also makes changes to the MY line? I'd be unhappy to find out I got a car in August only to find out a car built a month later had improvements. I know it's unlikely but I'm in no hurry to order anyway. Can anyone think of a risk besides the good chance trade in values will go down as used cars flood the market. For me I don't care about that even if it costs me money which I'm sure is the exception.

Little known secret. There will Always be improvements and changes for as long as they make the cars. I’m sure if they had some super secret pan to revamp the Model Y this year it would already be known by now.
Exactly that is the question I have.If I sold my 2020 model x to private party than two things should happen.
1.I will get beta FSD transferred to my new model x and I save15 k.
2.Private party will not have beta FSD on sold model x but will have at least enhanced autopilot.
Now my understanding is that I should still have the ownership of old model x when I request transfer to new model x.
I also need to be honest to private party and tell them that that they will be getting model x without beta FSD but should have EAP.If they want beta FSD than they have to buy or subscribe it.
Any comments.Am I correct in what I stated above.

They will only have Standard autopilot. Nothing else unless they subscribe for it. The transfer has to be made while it is titled to you. My adviser detailed this out to me on visit.
I gotta' be able to sleep at night with this decision somehowNow that is a successful mind trick you have pulled on.....yourself.
