Connect the tow chain
Pull onto the trailer and secure the wheels
Secure wheels using chocks
and tie-down straps:
•
•
Ensure metal parts on
tie-down straps don’t contact
painted surfaces or the face
of the wheels.
Attach the tow chains using the
large hole on each of the rear lower
suspension arms.
Don’t place straps over body
panels or through wheels.
Place a 2 inch x 4 inch piece of
wood between the tow chains
and the underbody as illustrated.
Adjust the location of this wood as
necessary to protect the underbody.
CAUTIONS:
You must transport Model S using a flatbed trailer or transporter. NEVER TOW!
Follow procedures exactly as described. Serious damage can occur if you don’t. Any
damage caused by transporting is not covered by the warranty.
If the electrical system isn’t working, you can’t put Model S into Neutral and the parking
brake won’t disengage. If this is the case, use wheeled dollies or skid pads under the
rear wheels.
Active Air Suspension automatically levels Model S, even when power is off. If you don’t
put Model S in JACK mode, Active Air Suspension automatically attempts to self-level,
which may cause Model S to become loose during transport, resulting in damage or
injury.
Before pulling, make sure the wood is secure and properly positioned between the
underbody and the tow chain to reduce pressure from the chain.
Attaching straps to the chassis, suspension, or other parts of the body can cause
damage.
