When Transporting Model X
Always transport Model X with all four tires o
the ground. A flatbed truck or comparable
transport vehicle is recommended. A wheel lift
and dolly can be used only when transporting
Model X for a maximum of 15 miles (25 km),
provided the driving speed does not exceed
45 mph (70 km/h). When transporting,
whether on a
flatbed truck or using a wheel
lift and dolly, Model X can face either
direction.
Do not transport Model X using any other
method unless
specified by Tesla. Follow the
steps provided and observe all warnings and
cautions. Damage caused by transporting your
vehicle is not covered by the warranty.
Note: The following illustrations are for
demonstration purposes only.
Warning: Model X is equipped with high
voltage components (see High Voltage
Components on page 153). Before
transporting Model X as a result of an
event (such as a collision) that may have
compromised a high voltage component,
it is important to assume that these
components are energized. Always follow
high voltage safety precautions (wearing
personal protective 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 or death.
Disable Self-Leveling (air
suspension vehicles only)
If Model X is equipped with Smart Air
Suspension, it automatically self-levels, even
when power is
o. To prevent damage, you
must activate Jack mode to disable self-
leveling:
1. Touch Controls > Suspension on the
touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, then touch Very
High to maximize height.
3.
Touch Jack.
Note: Jack mode cancels when Model X is
driven over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Warning: Failure to activate Jack mode
on a Model X equipped with Smart Air
Suspension can result in the vehicle
becoming loose during transport, which
may cause significant damage.
Activate Tow Mode
Model X may automatically shift into Park
when it detects the driver leaving the vehicle,
even if it has previously been shifted into
Neutral. To keep Model X in Neutral (which
disengages the parking brake), you must use
the touchscreen to activate Tow mode:
1. Shift into Park.
2. Chock the tires or otherwise ensure
Model X is stable.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal, then on
the touchscreen touch Controls >
Settings > Service & Reset > Tow Mode >
ON.
When Tow mode is active, Model X
displays this indicator light on the
instrument panel, along with a
message telling you that Model X is
free-rolling.
To cancel Tow Mode, shift Model X into Park.
Caution:
If the electrical system is not
working, and you therefore cannot
release the electric parking brake,
attempt to jump start the 12V battery. For
instructions, call Tesla Roadside
Assistance. If a situation occurs where
you cannot disengage the parking brake,
use a self-loading dolly or tire skates.
Before doing so, always check the
manufacturer’s
specifications and
recommended load capacity.
Pull onto the Flatbed Truck
The method used to pull Model X onto the
truck depends on whether a tow eye is
available (provided with your vehicle at time
of purchase).
If equipped with a tow eye:
1. Locate the tow eye.
