Warning: Use only the electrical
connection designed by Tesla. Do not
attempt to directly splice or attempt to
connect a trailer’s electrical wiring using
any other method. Doing so can damage
the vehicle electrical system and cause
malfunctions.
Caution: Always ensure that the trailer
electrical cable does not contact or drag
on the ground and there is enough slack
in the cable to allow for turns.

increases vehicle weight and drag. As a result,
driving range can decrease significantly.
