Tesla blocks FSD transfer to base Cybertruck without $20,000 upgrade
Tesla has confirmed that buyers of the base AWD Cybertruck, priced around $60,000, cannot transfer their Full Self-Driving (FSD) license without purchasing a higher trim costing $20,000 more. This restriction impacts customers expecting to retain their prior FSD purchase, even if their current vehicles have compatible hardware. In February, Tesla updated the eligibility terms for FSD transfer, changing the requirement from "ordering" to "taking delivery" before a deadline, now requiring a higher trim purchase to enable transfer. This has led to backlash and order cancellations.
- Base AWD Cybertruck costs about $60,000 and does not allow FSD transfer.
- FSD transfer requires buying a higher trim with an additional $20,000 cost.
🔎 Why it matters: The updated FSD transfer terms directly affect the Cybertruck AWD base model and Tesla's policy on perpetual FSD licenses.
📈 Upside: Tesla encourages higher trim purchases, increasing average sale value.
📉 Risk: The policy change has caused cancellations and criticism from customers perceiving a unilateral contract change.
