Tesla has announced a special $1,000 discount for owners with Enhanced Autopilot who upgrade to Full Self-Driving (FSD) with the purchase of a new vehicle.
According to emails sent to owners this week, the promotion requires taking delivery by September 30, with an additional offer of three free months of Supercharging for those who take delivery by August 15.
“Upgrade your Enhanced Autopilot to Full-Self Driving (Supervised) and transfer it to a new Tesla purchase to get $1,000 off your new order,” Tesla writes in the email.
The news comes as Tesla has slowly been phasing out Enhanced Autopilot throughout this year, as the company pivots toward wider FSD FSD-supervised rollout and the unveiling of an upcoming Robotaxi platform.
Tesla officially removed the Enhanced Autopilot option from its U.S. order configurator in April, along with slashing the price of FSD Supervised to $8,000 for a one-time purchase, or $99 monthly. Owners of Enhanced Autopilot were also encouraged to upgrade to FSD for $2,000, though the current promo makes upgrading free.
Just a few weeks earlier, Tesla also launched mandatory FSD Supervised demos for new car buyers, and the company is also preparing to launch the system in other countries, seemingly starting with China. Last month, a report suggested that Tesla was testing 10 vehicles with FSD Supervised in China ahead of wider deployment of the system after the company gained tentative approval for the system in the country earlier this year.
During the company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting last month, Elon Musk agreed to let owners transfer FSD to a newly purchased vehicle for “one more quarter,” with the company now offering the promo for those who take delivery of a new Tesla by the end of September.
Tesla was also set to unveil an upcoming Robotaxi platform in August, but Musk last week confirmed reports that said the event was being pushed back. Musk and Tesla have yet to share a new date for the unveiling event, and many expect to hear more details during Tesla’s Q2 2024 earnings call this week.
