Tap the payment method you would like to remove, and select another payment method if it is currently being used for regular payments.

Note that you must also update your payment method for any other Tesla services you are subscribed to, such as supercharging or connectivity, separately.

You can also make payments for your Tesla vehicle through the Tesla app or your Tesla Account.
