Can I move my Tesla Finance lease to Rhode Island?

Notify Tesla Finance of the new registration and billing address so it can begin the re-registration and title process when required. Confirm first that Tesla Finance, rather than a third-party lessor, is named on the lease. The lessee must obtain the original title, power of attorney, and permission letter from the lessor. Rhode Island also requires VIN verification, Rhode Island insurance, and the leased-vehicle registration forms.

How do I start the Tesla Finance lease title request?

Use the Financing section of the Tesla app for the direct lease and contact Tesla Finance through the support path published on the lease page. A third-party Tesla lessor must use that lessor's own instructions instead. Tesla does not publish one nationwide re-registration turnaround. Start before the destination deadline and track address notice, required documents, destination filing, and new registration as separate milestones.

What can I keep in the saved lessor handoff?

Keep the route-specific lessor worksheet, unsigned request cover sheet, destination packet, handoff milestones, and final proof checklist together.

Where the two processes meet

The lessor controls delivery. Rhode Island controls acceptance.

01Start with Rhode Island

02Open the Tesla Finance lease request
Notify Tesla Finance of the new registration and billing address so it can begin the re-registration and title process when required. Confirm first that Tesla Finance, rather than a third-party lessor, is named on the lease.
03Use the official channel
Use the Financing section of the Tesla app for the direct lease and contact Tesla Finance through the support path published on the lease page. A third-party Tesla lessor must use that lessor's own instructions instead.
04Confirm usable receipt
The customer must get the original title directly from the lessor. Rhode Island DMV states that it will not request the title from a leasing company or financial institution.
