Trying to verify my e-mail address and the verification e-mails to my outlook.com account never arrived. I put Tesla.com on my safe senders list but nothing changes. I do not have the exact e-mail address since it does not arrive. Trying to avoid having to switch to a different e-mail provider,

Hi RP, this is Kimberly. I'm glad to assist you today.

There are a couple of things to check to potentially resolve this without switching providers.

  1. Check Spam, Junk, and Other Folders

Outlook can route emails to:

Junk Email

Other (Focused Inbox is split into Focused/Other)

Quarantine (see below)

Double-check these folders for anything from Tesla.

  1. Check Microsoft’s Security/Quarantine Portal

Sometimes, Microsoft blocks messages before they even hit your inbox or junk folder.

Go to: https://security.microsoft.com/quarantine

Sign in with your Outlook.com email

Check if any Tesla email is there

If found: click “Release” and mark as Not Junk

  1. Create an Inbox Rule to Whitelist Tesla

Instead of just using the Safe Senders list:

Go to https://outlook.live.com

Click the gear icon > View all Outlook settings

Go to Mail > Rules

Add a new rule:

Name: "Tesla Whitelist"

Condition: From contains @tesla.com

Action: Move to Inbox, Mark as Important, Never send to spam

This may help bypass Outlook’s aggressive filters.

  1. Try a Different Tesla Email Path

Sometimes Tesla uses third-party email domains like:

******@auth.tesla.com

******@tesla.com

******@newsletter.teslamotors.com

Try checking Tesla’s login page or registration page and request another verification — sometimes this triggers a different sending service.

  1. Test With a Gmail or iCloud Address (Temporarily)

Even if you want to keep Outlook long-term, try signing up (or re-sending the verification email) using a different email temporarily:

If it works on Gmail or iCloud, then the problem is almost certainly on Outlook’s side.

Once verified, you may be able to change back to your Outlook email in Tesla account settings.

Should you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly

    No joy and I cannot change my e-mail address until I can confirm my current e-mail which I cannot do because the confirmation e-mail is blocked by Microsoft. I am certainly not the only person with a Tesla so how come I am the only one with this problem?

    Apparently this is not monitored by Microsoft. The sad part is I cannot switch to another mail service because I cannot verify my current e-mail, really kind of sad. Going to see if anyone in Tesla will help.
