The limited-time free transfer service runs from November 1 to November 30, 2025. Customers who order and take delivery of any Model S/3/X/Y can transfer the original vehicle’s FSD rights to the new car.
On October 28, Tesla announced that a limited-time transfer service for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is now available in China.
Owners of Tesla vehicles equipped with FSD can transfer the capability free of charge to newly purchased Tesla vehicles, addressing concerns that their previously purchased FSD could go unused.
The service is available from November 1 to November 30, 2025. Any order and delivery of Model S/3/X/Y vehicles during this period qualifies for transferring the original car’s FSD rights to the new vehicle.
It is worth noting that Tesla has opened FSD transfer windows multiple times in the past, including April 2024, October 2024, and May 2025.
Currently, the Enhanced Autopilot package costs RMB 32,000 ($4,500), providing Smart Navigate on Autopilot, Smart Lane Change, and Smart Parking features. The full FSD package, renamed “Full Self-Driving Capability” from its original FSD label, remains priced at RMB 64,000 ($9,000).
However, in the Chinese market, the latest FSD rollout is slightly behind. On February 25 this year, Tesla officially introduced FSD functionality for vehicles equipped with HW4.0 hardware in China, though it has not yet been widely deployed. The software version in China is still at V13.2.6, while the global latest version has reached V13.2.9.
FSD V13.2.9 continues to perform well in traffic efficiency, but may still face limitations in scenarios that require text recognition or navigating complex road structures, likely due to reliance on navigation data.
By contrast, Tesla began a large-scale rollout of FSD V14 in North America on October 7. The update adds proactive prediction to anticipate and respond to the intentions of traffic participants, integrates auditory input into the core perception system, optimizes memory usage, and improves response speed and compatibility, marking a clear upgrade over V13.
Elon Musk has repeatedly noted that upgrading FSD in China faces technical challenges, including localized data requirements and algorithm adaptation, which contribute to performance gaps compared with North America.
