CAUTION: Before pulling, make
sure the tow eye is securely
tightened.
5. Activate Transport Mode.
6. Pull Model Y slowly onto the flatbed
truck.
Secure the Tires
The vehicle's tires must be secured onto the
truck using the eight-point tie-down method:
• Ensure any metal parts on the tie-down
straps do not contact painted surfaces or
the face of the wheels.
•
Do not place tie-down straps over the
body panels or through the wheels.
CAUTION: Attaching the tie-down
straps to the chassis, suspension or
other parts of the vehicle's body may
cause damage.
Jump Starting the Low Voltage
Battery
If jump starting Model Y using another
vehicle, refer to that vehicle manufacturer's
instructions. The following instructions
assume you are using an external
low voltage
power supply (such as a portable jump
starter).
Vehicles manufactured in Shanghai after
approximately October 2021, and Fremont
after approximately December 2021, are
equipped with a Lithium-Ion low voltage
battery. Vehicles with a low voltage Lithium-
Ion battery will have a jump post on the cowl,
next to the HEPA filter gasket (if equipped
with a HEPA filter).
CAUTION: Model Y cannot be used to
jump start another vehicle. Doing so
can result in damage.
CAUTION: Avoid short circuits when
jump starting Model Y. Connecting
cables to the wrong terminals,
touching leads together, etc., can
result in damage to Model Y.
Jump Starting the
Low Voltage (Lead-
Acid) Battery
1.
Open the hood (see Opening Hood with
No Power on page 19).
2.
Remove the maintenance panel by pulling
it upwards to release the trim clips that
hold it in place.
3.
If equipped with a HEPA filter, carefully
fold the HEPA filter gasket towards the
front of the vehicle to gain access to the
low voltage battery.
NOTE: Space to access the low voltage
battery is limited. Consider removing the
push clips from the rear cowl to improve
accessibility.
