Was going for new model Y Long Range and have my FSD transferred... Tesla originally quoted 36300 for my 2020 model y performance. I ordered the new car... now they come back with new trade in value of 28600 for a 2020 Performance with FSD ! The price of new model y long range blue with white exterior and all charges comes to 58k,,!!! ANY suggestions?

I suggest you sell it to me for $28,601 instead.
Similar experience in Canada on a Model 3. House rules. Dealer wins.

If you can keep your older M3 or MY untill you get the a new one, and sell it thereafter,
you could transfer FSD easily and certainly get a better deal for the old one.
I suspect Tesla is getting a lot of trade ins with the FSD transfer and it is affecting prices. If you do go 3rd party instead of trade in you can still do the FSD transfer, you just have to wait until after the new car delivery to sell the old car. Both cars have to be on the account when the transfer happens.
Sorry but these two statements dont go together. Either you are trading in the car with FSD ( and not transferring it ), or you are trading in the car and transferring FSD, thus lowering the value of your current car by "some amount".
You also dont specify when you got both of those quotes (as in, was there more than 30 days between the first and second quote).
I was the owner of my old FSD car today when I took delivery. Tesla stated that my FSD would transfer over. It never did and it's just saying that I have a 3 month subscription. I sold my car right after I took delivery. Now no one is responding to my text messages from tesla to ask them what's up and why am I on a subscription model?
First, thanks for replying. I was feeling kind of alone without getting any response. The way I read the agreement, it states that I only need to be owner of the vehicle when I take delivery. Then, while I drive an hour back to the dealership where I was going to sell my old car, my new car was going to be updated with FSD. I saw it blink once, but it is saying that I am on the subscription mode of tesla, not that I bought it.
Item 3 of the agreement says the transfer can be up to one week after delivery. Hopefully you just have a delay. I would keep trying to get ahold of someone at Tesla. They don't make that easy.

The contract I signed was dated 7/22 and stated "Tesla will remove FSD capability from your current vehicle up to one week before scheduled delivery of your new Tesla." When I rec'd delivery of my "Y", FSD was already activated.
FYI - When my order was written, the FSD charge of $15,000 was originally included so the car came with it from day one. Before I paid for the car the 15k was deducted from the invoice.

My understanding is Tesla historically doesn't give you any trade in value for FSD so his estimate shouldn't be impacted by whether or not he's transferring the software license. Has that changed?
