Welcome to Tesla Info! Today, we’re going to walk you through the process of transferring the ownership of your Tesla to a new owner. This can be done easily with a few simple steps that you can handle yourself, without involving Tesla.
Before you proceed with the transfer, we recommend performing a factory reset on the car. This can be done through the service menu. By initiating a factory reset, you will be prompted to enter your details, effectively clearing out all personal information stored in the car.
Steps to Transfer Ownership:
- Open the Tesla app and navigate to “Manage Products” and then “Remove a Product”.
- Select the car you wish to transfer ownership of.
- Provide the new owner’s name and their Tesla email address. If the new owner hasn’t set up a Tesla account yet, they will need to do so.
- Fill in the necessary forms with the new owner’s information. It’s crucial to verify the accuracy of the information to ensure a smooth transfer.
- If it’s a private sale, it’s advisable to have the new buyer validate the information before proceeding.
- After completing the forms, confirm the transfer. You will receive an email with a six-digit code.
- Enter the six-digit code into the app within the given timeframe to initiate the transfer.
- Once the transfer request is submitted, you will receive a confirmation email when the transfer is completed. Simultaneously, the new owner will be notified that the car is available on their account.
It’s important to note that the transfer may take a few minutes to reflect in the new owner’s Tesla account once completed.
