EV maker Tesla (TSLA) is getting closer to having its Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature approved in more countries, including some in Europe, where regulations have been especially strict, according to Notebookcheck. As a result, Tesla is expanding its free FSD transfer promotion outside the U.S. Now, customers who buy a new Model Y, Model 3, or the updated Model S or X can move their old FSD package to the new vehicle at no extra cost. The deal lasts through September 30, 2025, but may be extended if more approvals are secured.

In the U.S., Tesla has offered this transfer deal almost every quarter since early 2024. However, European buyers who paid for FSD years ago haven’t been able to use it yet because regulators haven’t approved it for public roads. That may finally be changing with the release of FSD version 13, which is far better at handling Europe’s narrow roads and complex roundabouts. Indeed, Tesla has shown successes—like safely navigating Paris’s Arc de Triomphe—and is gaining regulatory support. The company believes that countries like the Netherlands could approve the feature as early as this quarter or next.
To support loyal European customers who’ve been waiting a long time, Tesla is now offering the free FSD transfer in Germany and across the EU with certain conditions. Buyers must order and receive the new Tesla between July 18 and September 30, 2025. The same Tesla account must own both vehicles, and the current car with FSD must stay registered to the owner for at least 72 hours after the new one is delivered. This move not only helps frustrated FSD owners but could also boost Model Y sales, especially in Europe, where Tesla has seen demand drop sharply due to backlash against Elon Musk’s political statements.
