Elon Musk has once again extended what was described as a one-time program that allows Full Self-Driving (FSD) licenses to be transferred between Tesla vehicles. Intended as a short-term perk, it has already run for six months and now stretches for another quarter, which makes the exception feel increasingly permanent.FSD is an advanced driver-assistance package that Tesla sells for up to $15,000 with the promise of full autonomy. Yet nearly a decade after the first sales, the system still hasn’t reached full realization. For a long time, owners who switched vehicles couldn’t take their licenses with them, and only this temporary promotion made the transfer possible.Musk noted that the extension responds to owners’ questions, but in practice the program now functions as a purchase incentive for new Teslas. Despite assurances that FSD is almost ready, the company continues to market an unfinished product while retaining customers through concessions like this. For buyers, the subtext is simple: upgrade the car, keep the FSD.
