Tesla MODEL X - Instructions for Transporters

DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model X generates power when the
wheels spin. Always transport Model X with all four tires
o the ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to spin
at any time during transport.
WARNING: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE
WITH THE TIRES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY
CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN
RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY
CAUSE THE SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TO
IGNITE.
Do not transport Model X using any method that is not
specified by Tesla. Adhere to the instructions provided
in the following sections and observe all warnings and
cautions provided. Damage caused by improper
transporting of your vehicle is not covered by the
warranty.
NOTE: Tesla is not liable or responsible for reimbursing
services not dispatched through Tesla Roadside
Assistance.
Approved Methods for
Transporting
NOTE: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under 3
mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance (less than
30 feet or 10 meters) only when Transport Mode is
enabled (see Activate Transport Mode on page 210)
while the vehicle is being winched onto a flatbed truck
or pulled out of a parking space for repositioning.
Exceeding these boundaries can lead to
significant
damage and overheating that is not covered by the
warranty.
A flatbed truck or comparable transport vehicle is the
recommended method of transporting Model X. The
vehicle can face either direction when using a flatbed.
If
Model X must be transported without a flatbed truck,
then wheel lifts and dollies must be used to ensure that
all four wheels are o of the ground. This method may
only be used for a maximum of
35 miles (55 km), and
must not exceed the manufacturer speed rating of the
dollies. With this method, Tesla recommends the vehicle
facing forward so that the front wheels are lifted and
the rear wheels are on dollies.
NOTE: Transporting Model X with the front wheels on
dollies is not recommended, but may be done if an
external steering wheel lock is applied and care is taken
to prevent the front wheels from spinning. DO NOT
TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE IF THERE IS ANY
CHANCE OF THE FRONT WHEELS SPINNING.
CAUTION:
Enable Transport Mode (see Activate
Transport Mode on page 210) before winching
Model X onto a flatbed truck (see Pull onto the
Flatbed Truck - With Tow Eye on page 210). If
Transport Mode is not available or the
touchscreen is not accessible, self-loading dollies
or tire skates must be used to load the vehicle
into the approved transportation position. Tesla is
not responsible for any damage caused by or
during the transport of Model X, including
personal property damage or damage caused by
using self-loading dollies or tire skates.
WARNING:
Model X is equipped with high voltage
components that may be compromised as a result
of a collision (see High Voltage Components on
page 168). Before transporting Model X, it is
important to assume these components are
energized. Always follow high voltage safety
precautions (wearing personal protection
equipment, etc.) until emergency response
professionals have evaluated the vehicle and can
accurately confirm that all high voltage systems
are no longer energized. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury.
Disable the Self-Leveling Air
Suspension System
If Model X is equipped with the air suspension system, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is
o. To
prevent damage, you must activate Jack Mode to
disable self-leveling:
