Can someone with a bit of knowledge on the matter please clarify? How do I know if all is going smoothly for my FSD transfer?
1) Placed order for new Model X on Friday and added FSD to the order (couldn't help myself...once it went below $80K and qualified for the tax credit and the FSD transfer I was sold)
2) Received an email that showed my order that included the FSD
3) In the Tesla App I added my trade-in 2018 Model X with FSD I purchased outright (but not at initial sale). This allowed my to click that I would be transferring FSD from the trade-in to the new vehicle.
4) Somewhere along the line I had to click that I acknowledge that the card does not have ultrasonic sensors. This seemed to modify my order and when I clicked on the order agreement pdf on tesla.com the FSD on the order was nowhere to be found.
5) In the Tesla App I still see my trade-in offer as being accepted and that "transfer applied." However there is a "more info" tooltip right next to it that says "FSD capability will remain on your current vehicle if transfer is not successful." (Thanks Tesla you get to keep the FSD on my old car if the transfer is not successful? No thank you!) When should I expect the transfer to be successful? Right when I pick up the car (definitely don't want to wait a few days to find out that the transfer wasn't successful)? It would be a deal breaker if this wasn't successful (first-world problem, I know...but still would be disappointing since the family is excited about the new car).
6) Once I initiated the "Final Payment" to Tesla, the MVPA was generated on tesla.com and the FSD does not show up anywhere there. Should it? Should I be worried? If so, who (at Tesla) should I talk to? Whenever I talk to someone at Tesla seems like no one there really had detailed knowledge about the FSD transfer process.
Want to be sure all goes smoothly with the transfer when I drop off the trade-in and pick up the new car. Thanks for any/all help!
