DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The motors in Model Y generate power when
the wheels spin. Always transport Model Y
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 Y 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
A flatbed truck or comparable transport
vehicle is the recommended method of
transporting
Model Y. The vehicle can face
either direction when using a flatbed.
If
Model Y 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 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.
CAUTION: Enable Transport Mode
(see Activate Transport Mode on page
225) before winching Model Y onto a
flatbed truck (see Pull Onto Flatbed
Truck From Front on page 225 and
Pull Onto Flatbed Truck From Rear on
page 226). 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 Y,
including personal property damage
or damage caused by using self-
loading dollies or tire skates.
NOTE: Transport Mode is only intended to
allow for winching
Model Y onto a flatbed
truck or repositioning the vehicle out of a
parking space. While in Transport Mode, the
tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under
5
km/h) and for a very short distance (less than
10 meters). See Activate Transport Mode on
page 225. Exceeding these boundaries can
lead to significant damage and overheating
that is not covered by the warranty.
