Exterior Overview
2MODEL Y Owner

NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the
touchscreen above the driving speed.
Steering Mode: Adjust the amount of effort required to
turn the steering wheel.
Sport feels more responsive
whereas
Comfort feels easier to drive and park (see
Adjusting Steering Effort on page 47).
Stopping Mode: Choose how you want Model Y to
behave once regenerative braking has reduced the driving speed to a very low speed, a driving gear is still
engaged, and both the accelerator and brake pedals are
released. See
Stopping Mode on page 61. You can adjust
this setting only when
Model Y is in Park.
Slip Start: Turn Slip Start ON to disable traction control
and allow wheels to spin to make it easier to dislodge the vehicle when stuck in mud, snow, ice, etc. (see
Traction Control on page 63).
Off-Road Assist: Turn Off-Road Assist ON to disable
traction control and allow wheels to spin when driving
off-road (see Traction Control on page 63).
Trailer Mode (available only if equipped with a tow
package): Must always be active when towing a trailer.
Some Autopilot features and rear sensor functionality may not be available. See
Trailer Mode on page 76).
Autopilot
Autopilot features that provide a safer and more
convenient driving experience. Some Autopilot features
are not controlled through
Controls. See About
Autopilot on page 83 for more information.
NOTE: Depending on market region, vehicle
configuration, options purchased, and software version,
your vehicle may not be equipped with all Autopilot
features, or a feature may not operate exactly as
described.

DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The rear motor in Model Y generates power when the
wheels spin. Always transport
Model Y 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 Y 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 3
mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance (less than
30 feet or 10 meters) only when Transport Mode is
enabled (see
Activate Transport Mode on page )
while the vehicle 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 Y. The
vehicle can face either direction when using a
flatbed.
If Model Y 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
35 miles (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.
CAUTION: Enable Transport Mode (see Activate
Transport Mode on page ) before winching
Model Y onto a flatbed truck (see Pull Onto
Flatbed Truck From Front on page and Pull
Onto Flatbed Truck From Rear on page ). If
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 Y, including personal property damage or
damage caused by using self-loading dollies or tire
skates.
WARNING: Model Y is equipped with high voltage
components that may be compromised as a result
of a collision (see High Voltage Components on
page 156). Before transporting Model Y, 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.
Activate Transport Mode
Transport Mode keeps the parking brake disengaged
while winching
Model Y onto a flatbed truck. When
active, Transport Mode displays a message indicating that the vehicle will remain free-rolling. The following are
required to enable Transport Mode:

2.
Release the rear tow eye cover by pressing firmly on
its top right perimeter until it pivots inward, then
gently pulling the raised section toward you.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with a hitch receiver cannot
be pulled from the rear tow eye. Use the tow bar or
hitch receiver only to pull the vehicle to a safe
location, such as onto a
flatbed truck. Do not
transport the vehicle with wheels on the ground.
3.
Fully insert the tow eye into the opening, then turn it
counter-clockwise until securely fastened.
4.
Attach the winch cable to the tow eye.
CAUTION: Before pulling, make sure the tow
eye is securely tightened.
5.
Activate Transport Mode.
6.
Pull Model Y slowly onto the flatbed truck.
