European and UK owners who paid for Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability package can once again carry it over to a new Tesla. After Tesla renamed the system "Tesla Assisted Driving" across its European websites on Oct. 8, the transfer page came back under a new label: the package is now called Tesla Assisted Driving Basic. The change was spotted on Oct. 11 by the Not an FSD Tracker account, which follows Tesla's European pages, and reported the same day by NotATeslaKiller.

Where it applies

According to Not an FSD Tracker, the transfer is listed in 17 countries: the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, Hungary, Greece, Romania and Luxembourg. The tracker also reports that Tesla's UK transfer page now describes Full Self-Driving Capability as "now Tesla Assisted Driving Basic," and that the French site uses "Tesla Conduite Assistée Basique."

The three conditions

  • New car ordered on or after July 18, 2025. That is the date Tesla first opened transfers in Europe and the Middle East, after Elon Musk called it "fair" on X.
  • You own the old car outright. Leased and company cars don't qualify. Both cars must be on the same Tesla account, and you must stay the registered owner of the old car for at least 72 hours after the new one is delivered.
  • Tell Tesla before delivery and sign the transfer agreement. Don't add the package to the new car's order yourself. It is normally applied within about 72 hours of delivery.

The old car drops back to standard Autopilot. If you want the features on both cars, you have to buy the package again.

Does "Basic" mean you lose something?

Some owners on X worried that a transfer labelled "Basic" could quietly downgrade what they paid for. Not an FSD Tracker says its own transfer agreement simply moved existing capabilities to the new car, and that Tesla's posted terms say the same. Per NotATeslaKiller, TAD Basic covers the same features as the old package: Autosteer, Auto Lane Change, Navigate on Autosteer, Summon and Smart Summon, Autopark, and Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control. We could not open Tesla's own transfer pages to confirm the wording directly, and Tesla can change the terms at any time.

What the transfer doesn't change

Moving the package doesn't make supervised city-street driving legal where it isn't approved. As of Oct. 11, Not an FSD Tracker counts eight EU countries that allow it: the Netherlands, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Croatia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Estonia. An EU-wide vote is not expected before December 2026, and the UK runs its own approval process, with nothing granted yet. Those approvals cover HW4 cars only. HW3 cars in Europe still have no release of the lighter "v14 Lite" build, which has so far shipped only in North America and South Korea.

What it means for owners: if you bought the package years ago on an HW3 car and you're thinking about a new Model 3 or Model Y, moving it to an HW4 car is the only way to be ready when your country approves the full system. U.S. owners don't get that option: Tesla's American transfer program ended on March 31, 2026, and its U.S. page still says so.
