"Customers must take delivery of their new Model S, Model X or Model Y by December 31, 2023."
Just to clarify: if you happen to find and take delivery of an inventory model in this year it would still work out. IMO it’s risky though given how scarce inventory X’s are right now.

Could discounts be removed from the inventory vehicle in order to qualify for the FUSC transfer?
I don't know that I have seen anyone ask Tesla to do that. But that would become a question of how much is FUSC worth vs. how large the discount is for the purchaser to think about.

Right, I was able to get a sales associate to confirm that they can take the discount away from an inventory vehicle to make it eligible. Unfortunately I think at that point the value proposition is questionable — if an inventory car has a few thousand dollars of discount, you’d need to supercharge for years in the metro LA/SF area to recuperate thousands in supercharging savings.
There were already reports of that being done by several people on earlier pages in this thread. Or rather, the customers didn't request it specifically, but Tesla removed the discounts to make the transfer go through successfully.

The situation where I thought it might be worthwhile would be to get an inventory car that has USS if there are any left that have USS.
I thought about that too but AFAIK there wasn’t any overlap between HW4 and USS. Between those I would definitely prefer getting HW4.

Yeah so the 3 and Y got USS removed before they got HW4. On the S/X it looks like they got USS removed at the exact time they got HW4. So you can get a refresh S/X with HW3 and USS, or HW4 and no USS.
I think the situation for the 3/Y with HW3 and no USS is especially bleak. HW4 at least has better cameras, more processing power, and they potentially can do something interesting with Phoenix radar to deal with the front blind spot.

I got my S in 2018 that came with FUSC; I bought FSD for $3K or $4K and got the HW3.0 upgrade. I've placed an order for the MX-LR with the hope of FUSC transfer and keeping the S. If the FSD offer comes back someday, I'll trade it in for a low-priced M3 or pre-ordered CT (if timing works out) and transfer the FSD to the MX-LR; if this works as expected, I'll succeed in getting both the FUSC and FSD onto the new MX-LR (tax edition).
Nope, you can' do that. You can only transfer to the new vehicle that you are purchasing, not any existing vehicle you own. (Of course, terms of future transfer offers could differ.)
Tesla doesn't allow lease purchases. I'd definitely buy a new Tesla and transfer my FUSC if they did since i don't qualify for the federal rebate..I'm waiting to see if they change the rule before the year ends to decide.

Is that true? Could it be that the requirement is that I buy a new Tesla for the transfer, not necessarily the transfer to the new vehicle?
This current one, yes, you must “take delivery” of a new S/X/Y.

Yes, could that be the only condition that needs to be met? As long as I take delivery of a new S/X/Y, I can transfer the feature to it or any other Tesla I own?
