The answer is not in the article. The question is: why isn't there a registration process for the person that leased the car? How are rented or company cars even relevant, since that's a different company between Tesla and the driver that would have the information about the driver? It seems like a weird quirk that there's not a registration process closer that leads somewhere closer to the actual driver. Is it a privacy issue? Is it just because enforcement is easier against a larger company?

Because it's the UK and half their shit doesn't make sense fundamentally. But to try to come up with a real answer, I bet some rich people use this feature of their registration system to get a bit of privacy. They can just get a lease vehicle and not even the cops know who has it. Seems plausible.
