Page | 033 WARNING The vehicle is equipped with high voltage components that may be compromised as a result of a collision. Before transporting, 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.
Pushing the Vehicle
In situations where there is minimal risk of fire or high voltage exposure (for example, the vehicle does not accelerate after coming to a stop at an intersection) and 12V power is present, Model
X can be quickly pushed in order to clear the roadway. If a driver is present, simply shift Model X into Neutral and then push the vehicle. If a driver is not present, 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 and allows the vehicle to be pushed) without a driver present, use the touchscreen to activate Transport Mode:
1. Ensure Model X is in Park.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen touch Controls > Service > Towing.
3. Hold the Transport Mode button until it turns blue. Model X is now free-rolling and can
slowly be rolled (no faster than walking speed) or winched.
To cancel Transport Mode, shift Model X into Park.
NOTE: Model X must detect a key nearby and 12V power is required for Transport Mode to activate.
NOTE: Transport Mode automatically cancels and the parking brake is applied if Model X is rolled faster than 5 mph (8 km/h) or 12V power becomes low or absent.
NOTE: When Transport Mode is active, Model X displays a message indicating that Model X is free-rolling.
NOTE: The touchscreen is unresponsive if Model X has no 12V power. Use the pull cables located in the front bumper to open the hood and jumpstart the vehicle’s auxiliary 12V battery. Refer to the Roadside Assistance Guide in the glovebox (Touch Controls > Glovebox) or call Tesla Roadside Assistance for instructions.
WARNING The following instructions are intended to be used when only moving Model X a very short distance to improve traffic safety. Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the touchscreen or the Roadside Assistance Guide in the glovebox for more instructions on how to transport Model X. Damage caused by transporting the vehicle is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING Pushing Model X when it is not in Neutral or Transport Mode can result in overheating the rear motor and potential risk of shock if electrical components are exposed, even if the first responder loop has been cut.
