Tower Tip: Tesla: transport with all four tires off the ground. Flatbed recommended. Wheel lift plus dollies allowed up to 35 miles (55 km), front wheels lifted, within dolly speed rating. Activate Tow Mode before winching. Winch from the tow eye only. Longer wheelbase than Model Y: check dolly and bed fit.

Model Y L). Source: Tesla Owner's Manual, Instructions for Transporters. ALL 4 TIRES OFF THE GROUND Motors make power when wheels turn. Never let any tire spin during transport: it can cause major damage, overheating, or fire. Improper transport damage is not covered by Tesla's warranty. APPROVED METHODS 1. Flatbed (recommended). Either direction. 2. Wheel lift + dollies only if no flatbed. All 4 wheels off the ground, max 35 miles (55 km), within dolly speed rating. Tesla recommends front wheels on the lift, rear on dollies. HIGH VOLTAGE After a collision, treat high voltage parts as energized. Use PPE until responders confirm the system is de-energized. TOW MODE (BEFORE WINCHING) Needs: unplugged from charger, key detected, parking brake on, brake pedal held, low voltage power. 1. Shift to Park and chock the tires. 2. Hold brake, touch Controls > Service > Towing. 3. Touch Enter Tow Mode (button turns blue). Move at walking speed only (under 5 mph), under 30 ft. Cancel: Exit Tow Mode or shift to Park. Key needed to restart. No touchscreen or Tow Mode: load with self-loading dollies or tire skates (check ratings). WINCH ONTO FLATBED (TOW EYE ONLY) Never winch from chassis, frame, or suspension. 1. Tow eye is in the front trunk. 2. Front cover: press top right edge until it pivots, pull it out. Front cover is tied to the negative terminal; handle gently. Rear cover: press bottom edge instead. 3. Thread tow eye in, turn counter-clockwise until tight. 4. Attach winch. Confirm tow eye is tight. 5. Activate Tow Mode, winch slowly. Vehicles with a hitch receiver cannot be pulled from the rear tow eye. Use the hitch only to winch onto the bed. SECURE Eight-point tie-down on tires only. Keep metal hardware off paint and wheel faces. No straps over body panels, through wheels, or on chassis or suspension. NO LOW VOLTAGE POWER 1. Open hood using Tesla's no power procedure. 2. Jump start low voltage battery, then use Tow Mode. Connect external power before opening a door or the window may break.
