how to change tesla car name

[DeParker]

Changing your Tesla's name is a simple process done entirely through the Tesla mobile app. The name you set appears on the car's touchscreen and in the app, serving as a fun way to personalize your vehicle. You don't need any special tools or a visit to a service center; it takes just a minute from your phone.

Here’s the step-by-step guide:

1. Open the Tesla app on your smartphone and ensure you are logged into the account that owns the vehicle.
2. Tap on the image of your car at the top of the main screen to enter the Controls menu.
3. You will see the current name of your car displayed prominently. Tap directly on the name.
4. A keyboard will pop up, allowing you to type in a new name. Tesla allows up to 30 characters.
5. Once you've typed the new name, tap Save or Done (the exact wording depends on your phone's operating system).

The change is immediate. You can confirm it by checking the app's main screen and your car's touchscreen, which will update within a few seconds. This personalized name is primarily for your identification within the app and car interface. It's a great feature for households with multiple Teslas, making it easy to distinguish between vehicles. Just remember that the name is for your convenience and doesn't change the official VIN or registration details.

Grab your phone, open the Tesla app, and tap on your car's picture. Then just tap its current name and type a new one. Hit save, and you're done. It updates instantly on your app and the car's screen. Super easy way to add a personal touch.

I renamed my Model 3 to "Sparky" the day I got it. It makes the car feel more like a member of the family. I did it right from the app while sitting in the driver's seat. Seeing "Sparky" pop up on the center screen with a little greeting made me smile. It’s a small thing, but it really enhances that connected, personal experience that Tesla is known for. Definitely take a moment to do it.
