Pull Onto Flatbed Truck From Rear
Note: If Model Y has no 12V power, you need
an external 12V power supply to open the
hood or use the touchscreen. See If Vehicle
Has No Power.
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 top right 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 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 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.
If Vehicle Has No Power
If Model Y has no 12V power, perform the
following steps to open the hood or jump start
the auxiliary 12V battery.
