How did I add my imported Tesla to the app in my name?

My answer

Once I had the registration document in my name, I submitted a request through the app with photos of the registration document and my ID card. After that, I had to rename the car to TQO and keep it connected to Wi-Fi.

For that, I left a phone with a power bank in the car. Four days later, it was added, and I could use my phone as a key. If the car belongs to a company, you also need to add a document showing that the company is yours.
