How do you tow a Tesla Model 3?
I’m going on an RV trip this fall and I really want to bring my car. What’s the best way to tow a Tesla?
Chloe Jenkins · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Because the rear motor in a Tesla Model 3 generates power when the wheels spin, the Tesla Model 3 cannot be towed—it must be trailered.
If your Tesla Model 3 is towed with the tires in a position where they can spin, you risk doing significant damage and overheating the vehicle.
If you have your Tesla Model 3 owner’s manual handy, find the section labeled Instructions for Transporters. This will detail:
- Approved methods of transport
- How to activate transport mode
- How to pull onto a flatbed truck
- What to do if the vehicle has no power and needs to be transported
- How to secure the tires
Tesla does a pretty good job making sure that drivers understand what to do in most situations, so when in doubt, don’t be afraid to check that manual.
And while you’re chilling in your RV, why not take a moment to review your car insurance? Free up room in your budget by
