Tesla Transfer of Ownership

I'll show you just how easy it is to transfer ownership once you sell your Tesla Private Party.

Thanks Mike. Very interesting and informative. I've never seen anyone walk through this. Nice to see all the advice and warnings you see during the process.

Thanks for this, mate. I have this process to do next month (2024 M3 here we come), so this was very very helpful to know beforehand!

Great and insightful video, thanks!

Could you make a similar one about what to do in the Tesla itself so when you sell the car you would not transfer any personal data (previously used address history, home and work addresses, personal settings, etc.) to a new owner as well as what a new owner should check after buying (eg. I believe the factory reset still won't remove the old owner's phone key from the car)?

FTG is an awesome resource! I’ve been following him since before I got my ‘21 M3 SR+. His videos are super informative and incredibly useful. 👍🏼

Highly recommended! 😎

this is good, but it's missing a few key things that are confusing.
1) you didn't mention WHEN in the process you click the "factory reset" on the car's dash... do you do this BEFORE removing it from seller's account, or after?
2) Will the backup keycards i'm giving to the new owner still work to unlock and drive, or did those go away with either Factory Reset process or "Remove Product" process? If they won't work anymore, how does new owner drive away with the car if they don't yet have it in their account?

Very informative! Thank you very much.

Why is it that I always learn new things here, and most of the times it's things you didn't even want to talk about? I just learned that my wall connector can now be managed from the app... Hadn't realized that so far... (It's a bit unfortunate that you can't set all the settings via the app, but hey, it's a start at least...)

Good info FTG! SO glad you see you back.

How is it different if you sell to a dealer?

If I have a free supercharging vehicle that should just automatically transfer with this process right

[theoschijf]

Thanks. Question: What if the new owners email turns out to be wrong? Typo. Who has the car then?

[alimonytony]

I would like buy a Tesla from a non Tesla dealership. This dealership is hours away from my home. I would like to know what that would entail to provide a seamless transfer of ownership.

The DMV does not charge the seller of a vehicle to transfer ownership. And isn't Individual and Third Party the same thing? Because you are either selling your car to a third party (individual) or a dealership.

[davidchong]

Do upgrades such as acceleration boost and FSD transfer to the new owner or would they be reset?

[mdkrush]

Do I need to factory reset the car? And if yes, at what point in the process? Thanks!

Hey Mike,
So my son wants to possibly buy my performance M3 but is concerned about his insurance through Tesla going up to much. Only way is to have the actual vin in his account. Is this possible to do?
I suppose he can get the quote and if too much transfer back to me?
Thanks for you advice.

What if you want to buy another Tesla and you don’t want to give up your autopilot? Do you have to buy your new Tesla and transfer the autopilot before you transfer your old Tesla?

I made an accident when i ordered my new Model 3 highland. I have now 2 email adresses and 2 account, both in my name. 1 for my old 2021 model 3 and 1 for 2024 model 3 If i want to access one of the cars now, i have to log out and in. Can i remove my old car and transfer it to the new email account, even though my name is on both accounts?

[rogershark]

It's come a long way since I sold my Tesla 5 years ago! Good to know when I eventually sell my 3

[tylerlovekeeper]

what about the key cards. are they linked to the app or just teh vehicle. could someone say they dont have any cards and keep them and access the car?

[terryrodbourn]

You should have gotten the new Model 3 with LFP battery!
