CAUTION: To avoid damage, only pull the vehicle onto a
flatbed truck using a properly-installed tow eye. Using
the chassis, frame, or suspension components to pull
the vehicle can result in damage.
1. Locate the tow eye. The tow eye is located in the front
trunk.
2.
Release the rear tow eye cover by pressing firmly on its
bottom perimeter until it pivots inward, then gently pulling
the raised section toward you.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with a hitch receiver cannot be
pulled from the rear tow eye. Use the tow bar or hitch
receiver only to pull the vehicle to a safe location, such as
onto a flatbed truck. Do not transport the vehicle with
wheels on the ground.
3.
Fully insert the tow eye into the opening, then turn it
counter-clockwise until securely fastened.
4.
Attach the winch cable to the tow eye.
CAUTION: Before pulling, make sure the tow eye is
securely tightened.
5. Activate Tow 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.
