After Second-Hand Purchase

Get Set Up
  • Sign in to your Tesla Account to check whether your car is already connected. If your car is not connected, then the seller has not added your car to your Tesla Account yet. To claim ownership of your car, in your Tesla Account, go to ‘Purchased a car from a third-party?’ and follow the on-screen instructions. Learn more about your Tesla Account.
  • Once your car is connected to your Tesla Account, it should appear in your Tesla app. You can use your Tesla app to lock and unlock with your phone key, manage climate controls, check for software updates and more. Learn more about your Tesla app.
  • If you imported your vehicle, you require a Certificate of Conformity (COC) document to complete its re-registration. Contact us to request a COC document. Please note that a fee will apply.
