Leasing - What level of ownership do they transfer to me?

[discoM3]

New to leasing a Tesla, when i get around to picking it up, i asume the lease company will give me access.

It sounds like they will "Add a driver" on their account? But they might remain the primary account holder for the car, as the owner?

Questions i cant find answers to:

- Is that the case, they just add me as a driver? So i cant pay for ugrades, premium connectivity, etc?

- If they are the primary account, what account does the supercharging get billed to? How does it know to charge me and not them?

- Can they track my location in their account?

- If they dont simply use the "add a driver" feature, the only other feature i can see is "transfer owndership" which seems a step too far, but would answer all of the above by giving me full control and privacy?

Thanks for any advice / knowledge

You should probably ask this in the UK and Ireland specific subforum, since the answer is likely to be different in the UK and Ireland than elsewhere.

In the US, when I leased a Model S in 2016, I had full ownership privileges, no different from someone who buys the car. Don’t know how it works in the UK.
