Many owners who placed orders under the original wording feel betrayed, especially as production backlogs and new unsupervised FSD rollout complicate timelines.<\/p>\n<p>However, Tesla has allowed them to cancel their orders and receive a refund.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the decision argue that the change disadvantages loyal customers who helped fund FSD development, calling it poor communication and a revenue grab as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/tesla-is-shifting-fsd-to-a-subscription-only-model-confirms-elon-musk\/\">Tesla pivots toward subscriptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274\"><span class=\"css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3\">Popular influencers have amplified the divide. Whole Mars Catalog<\/span><\/span> struck a measured but firm tone, acknowledging the original \u201corder by\u201d language but emphasizing Tesla\u2019s right to adjust terms. He has continued to defend Tesla in this particular issue:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sad to see so many fans trashing Tesla with such extreme language.<\/p>\n<p>LIARS!!! PATHETIC!!! And if you aren\u2019t as furious and angry as they are they are you\u2019re \u201cworshipping\u201d and saying \u201cthey can do no wrong\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get real here. They\u2019re not liars.

Whole Mars advocated for polite outreach to CEO Elon Musk over the issue.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rather than \u201ccalling them out\u201d, I would simply say \u201cHey Elon, really hoped to be able to do FSD transfer on my cybertruck but the terms changed. Would really appreciate if Tesla could extend this to everyone who ordered before the terms changes\u201d<\/p>\n<p>that would probably work<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Whole Mars Catalog (@wholemars) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wholemars\/status\/2028933002915688599?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a contrasting perspective, Dirty TesLA voiced sharper frustration, posting that blocking transfers feels \u201ccrazy\u201d and distancing himself from \u201cpeople that want to worship a corporation and say they can do no wrong.\u201d His stance resonated with owners who view the policy flip as disrespectful to early adopters.<\/p>\n<p>Popular Tesla influencer Sawyer Merritt captured the frustration felt by thousands. In a widely shared thread viewed over 700,000 times, Merritt detailed how pre-change Cybertruck orders now risk losing FSD eligibility unless their initial delivery window falls before March 31.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It&#8217;s not a contradiction, it&#8217;s a change in policy that Tesla just made an hour ago. I am trying to check if the change is retroactive to all existing orders, including Cybertruck AWD orders, because if it is, that sucks big time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SawyerMerritt\/status\/2027566360209830136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The controversy underscores deeper tensions\u2014between Tesla\u2019s need for revenue discipline and owners\u2019 expectations of goodwill. As FSD evolves toward unsupervised capability, the community remains split: some see the change as necessary business, others as a broken promise. Whether Tesla reconsiders under pressure or holds firm remains to be seen, but it does not appear they are planning to budge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla maintains it
