Has anyone else received a trade in quote from Tesla that seems terribly low? I was quoted $24,400 trade-in value by Tesla for a Long Range AWD 2018 red Model 3 with white interior, acceleration boost, and 42,000 miles, which is $6,000-$7,000 below what KBB shows as trade-in value and about $7500 below what similar Model 3's seem to sell for in my area.

Elon: One-time FSD transfers for purchases in Q3
- Thread starter blkswn
- Start date
It seems difficult to sell the car since don't you need to still own it when you take delivery of the new Tesla, if you're doing the free FSD transfer? I'd rather have the cash from the sale of my current car to use to pay for the new vehicle, as I won't be financing the new one.
Tesla can remove it up to a week before and I believe this could give you time. Also if the difference is several thousand dollars it would be worth it to get a short term loan and just pay it off as soon as you sell your car.
Yea, I'm tempted but with Highlander landing maybe next month or 2 I would feel shortchanged buying almost the same car now with Highlander imminent. I'm hoping that this so called "one time amnesty" as if we are breaking the law (awful term Elon) will be successful and repeated soon.
[rant]Shame of Tesla for not always offering an "amnesty" ALL the time for us long time supporters until FSD is delivered.
I'm trying to do the same. Where did you get confirmation? Chat, local agent, other? I appreciate you sharing
Where do you need to verify? My local agent doesn't seem to know anything about it.
When I checked my trade in value with Tesla, someone contacted me a day or two later asking if I had any questions. He verified my 2018 LR 3 FSD was eligible for transfer. I haven't gone ahead with the order yet, so I do not know for sure, but I do have it in a text message at least.
For reference, mine originally came with HW 2.5 and EAP. Then upgraded to FSD with the $2k sale and got the HW 3 upgrade. Nov 2018 build.
After FSD was moved, my 2018 3 had nothing but adaptive cruise, as it did when purchased new. But obviously some people might get lucky when the “switch” is flipped at the mothership.

I checked most of the usual suspects before buying my Y last Sunday. They were all really low for my 2018 3. I really wanted the FSD transfer — and to a lesser extent HW4 -- or I wouldn’t have done the deal.
Got confirmation from sales:
The FSD transfer will occur once you take delivery. Anything that happens to prior, including VIN rematch, won't affect the process.
I have a PPSW 2019 Model 3 LR AWD, ~27000 miles with acceleration boost and is in pretty condition. Both Tesla & carmax & other places quoted similarly around $26000 - $27000. So I decided to keep it
Has anyone successfully purchased a used Tesla w/FSD and completed the transfer? I want to make sure there aren't any issue that will creep up. (Aside from someone already previously doing the transfer)
I'm in the same situation but with an Oct 2018 build and I should be picking up a Model Y tomorrow. Will report back if I run into issues.
Just make sure you add FSD to your order if you want to do the transfer and they'll deduct the amount in the final true up.
Thanks, I've read number 1. Not sure what you are trying to reference.

Makes me wonder - if a car is totaled but the MCU is operational and has FSD - would someone have pulled that license already? Aka, buy a wreck.
