DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front and rear motors in Model S generate power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model S with all
four tires off 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 S 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
A flatbed truck or comparable transport vehicle is the
recommended method of transporting Model S. The
vehicle can face either direction when using a flatbed.
If Model S must be transported without a flatbed truck,
then wheel lifts and dollies must be used to ensure that
all four wheels are off 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
faces forward so that the front wheels are lifted and the
rear wheels are on dollies.
NOTE:
Transporting Model S with the front wheels on
dollies is not recommended, but may be done if an
external steering yoke lock is applied and care is taken
to prevent the front wheels from spinning.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE
IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF ANY OF THE
WHEELS SPINNING.
CAUTION:
Enable Transport Mode (see
) before winching
Model S onto a flatbed truck. 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 S,
including personal property damage or damage
caused by using self-loading dollies or tire skates.
NOTE:
Transport Mode is only intended to allow for
winching Model S onto a flatbed truck or repositioning
the vehicle out of a parking space. While in Transport
Mode, 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). See
. Exceeding these boundaries can lead to
significant damage and overheating that is not covered
by the warranty.
WARNING:
Model S is equipped with high voltage
components that may be compromised as a result
of a collision (see
). Before transporting Model S, 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.
Disable the Self-Leveling Air
Suspension System
NOTE:
If Model S has no low voltage power, you need an
external low voltage power supply to use the
touchscreen. See
If Vehicle Has No Power on page 204
