Can I move my Tesla Finance lease to Texas?

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. A new Texas resident can check registration purposes only on Form 130-U when the out-of-state title is not surrendered. Texas also has specific fields for the lessor as applicant and the lessee as renewal recipient.

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. Texas controls acceptance.

01Start with Texas
Ask the county tax office whether to check registration purposes only, then send the lessor the exact Form 130-U applicant fields and any signature request.
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 lessor remains the titled applicant on Form 130-U, while the lessee receives renewal notices. The county tax office confirms whether the existing title stays out of state or a Texas title is needed.
