DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model X generates power when the
wheels spin. Always transport Model X with all four tires
off the ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at
any time during transport.
WARNING: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE
WITH THE TIRES IN A POSITION WHERE THEY
CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES
EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY CAUSE THE
SURROUNDING COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model X using any method that is not
specified by Tesla. Adhere to the instructions provided in
the following sections and observe all warnings and
cautions provided. Damage caused by improper
transporting of your vehicle is not covered by the
warranty.
NOTE: Tesla is not liable or responsible for reimbursing
services not dispatched through Tesla Roadside
Assistance.
Approved Methods for Transporting
NOTE: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under 5
km/h) and for a very short distance (less than 10
meters) only when Transport Mode is enabled (see
Activate Transport Mode on page
is being winched onto a flatbed truck or pulled out of a
parking space for repositioning. Exceeding these
boundaries can lead to significant damage and
overheating that is not covered by the warranty.
A flatbed truck or comparable transport vehicle is the
recommended method of transporting Model X. The
vehicle can face either direction when using a flatbed.

Instructions for Transporters
220) while the vehicle
If Model X must be transported without a flatbed truck,
then wheel lifts and dollies must be used to ensure that
all four wheels are off of the ground. This method may
only be used for a maximum of 55 km, and must not
exceed the manufacturer speed rating of the dollies.
With this method, Tesla recommends the vehicle facing
forward so that the front wheels are lifted and the rear
wheels are on dollies.
NOTE: Transporting Model X with the front wheels on
dollies is not recommended, but may be done if an
external steering wheel lock is applied and care is taken
to prevent the front wheels from spinning. DO NOT
TRANSPORT YOUR VEHICLE IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE
OF THE FRONT WHEELS SPINNING.
CAUTION: Enable Transport Mode (see
Transport Mode on page
Model X onto a flatbed truck (see
Flatbed Truck - With Tow Eye on page
Transport Mode is not available or the touchscreen
is not accessible, self-loading dollies or tire skates
must be used to load the vehicle into the approved
transportation position. Tesla is not responsible for
any damage caused by or during the transport of
Model X, including personal property damage or
damage caused by using self-loading dollies or tire
skates.
WARNING: Model X is equipped with high voltage
components that may be compromised as a result
of a collision (see
High Voltage Components on
page
180). Before transporting Model X, it is
important to assume these components are
energized. Always follow high voltage safety
precautions (wearing personal protection
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.
Disable the Self-Leveling Air
Suspension System
If Model X is equipped with the air suspension system, it
automatically self-levels, even when power is off. 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 Controls > Service > Jack Mode.
