Trade In Question

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
So I want to trade in a car to Tesla for my MY. I would like to be able to trade in my son's car for the MY, but the car is in his name. (We'll sell him our newer old car). Does anyone have a suggestion/insight to doing something like this? Do we need to re-title the car into our name or will Tesla accept his car?
 
In my experience, Carmax can give you better trade-in offer, no hassle.

And you can see if Tesla will just honor the price CarMax gives you, that’s what we did as CarMax said $16k and Tesla offered $15k. They want you in their car asap and I thought I remember hearing (back in July 2019 when we bought) that all the trade-ins were being shipped off to auction right away
