Instructions for Transporters
DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The rear motor in Model Y generates 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
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) 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 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 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.
Caution: Enable Transport Mode (see
Activate Transport Mode) before
winching Model Y onto a flatbed truck
(see Pull Onto Flatbed Truck From Front
and Pull Onto Flatbed Truck From Rear).
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.
Warning: Model Y is equipped with high
voltage components that may be
compromised as a result of a collision
(see High Voltage Components on page
155). Before transporting Model Y, 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.
