Model Y Emergency Response Guide
High Voltage Battery Pack
Model Y is equipped with a floor-mounted 400V lithium-ion high voltage battery. The battery
is made up of many cells that are liquid cooled with coolant. The coolant will appear blue in
color and may leak from the battery pack if the pack has been compromised during a vehicle
collision. The battery cells will have stored energy within them. Never breach the high voltage
battery when lifting from under the vehicle. When using rescue tools, pay special attention to
ensure that you do not breach the floor pan. Refer to Chapter 2: Lift Areas for instructions on
how to properly lift the vehicle.
Pushing on the Floor Pan
The high voltage battery is located below the floor pan. Never push on the floor pan itself
inside of Model Y. Doing so can breach the high voltage battery or damage the high voltage
cables, which can cause serious injury or death. At no time should the high voltage battery
pack be compromised with rescue tools.
