1. Ensure Model Y is in Park.
2. Chock the tires or make sure Model Y is secure.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen,
touch Controls > Service > Towing. The touchscreen
displays a message reminding you how to properly
transport
Model Y.
4. Touch Enter Tow Mode. The button turns blue to show that
Model Y is now in Tow Mode. Model Y is now free-rolling
and can be rolled slowly (no faster than walking speed) for
short distances or winched (for example, onto a flatbed
truck).
To cancel Tow Mode, touch Exit Tow Mode or shift Model Y
into Park. You must have your phone key or a key card
available to restart the vehicle.
CAUTION: If the electrical system is not working, and
you therefore cannot use the touchscreen to activate
Tow Mode, use self-loading dollies or tire skates.
Before doing so, always check the manufacturer's
specifications and recommended loading capacity.

external low voltage power supply to open the hood or use
the touchscreen.

the chassis, frame, or suspension components to pull
the vehicle can result in damage.

trunk.

counter-clockwise until securely fastened.

CAUTION:
Before pulling, make sure the tow eye is
securely tightened.
