Connect the Towing Eye
The method used to connect the winch cable
depends on whether Model S is equipped with
a towing eye (located in the front trunk).
If not equipped with a towing eye:
1. Attach the tow straps to the large hole on
each of the rearmost lower suspension
arms underneath the front of the vehicle.
2. To protect the underbody from any
damage that could be caused by the tow
straps, place a 2" x 4" piece of wood
between the tow straps and the
underbody.
Caution: Before pulling, position the wood
between the tow strap and the
underbody to ensure the underbody is
protected from any damage that could be
caused by the tow strap.
If equipped with a towing eye:
1. Locate the towing eye in the front trunk.
2. Remove the tow hook cover by inserting a
small flat screwdriver into the slot located
along the top of the cover, then prying
gently to release the cover from the top
snap.
3. Insert the towing eye.
Fully insert the towing eye into the
opening on the right side, then turn it
counter-clockwise until securely fastened.
4. Attach the winch cable to the towing eye.
Caution: Before pulling, make sure the
towing eye is securely tightened.
