2023 TESLA MODEL Y towing

8. Load range: Shown as Standard Load (SL) or Extra Load (XL), the load range determines how much weight your
tires can support at a
specified tire pressure. When replacing tires, only use tires of the same load range. If towing
with snow tires, ensure they are the same load range of the tires your vehicle came equipped with.
9.
Tire composition and materials: The number of plies in both the tread area and the sidewall area indicates how
many layers of rubber coated material make up the structure of the tire. Information is also provided on the type
of materials used.
10.
Maximum tire load: The maximum load which can be carried by the tire.
11.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure: This pressure should not be used for normal driving.
12.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): Begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all federal
standards. The next 2 digits/letters represent the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last 4 digits represent the week and year of manufacture. For example, the number 1712 is used to represent the 17th week of 2012. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer

touchscreen displays a message reminding you how
to properly transport
Model Y.
4.

turns blue.
Model Y is now free-rolling and can slowly
be rolled (no faster than walking speed) or winched.
To cancel Transport Mode, shift Model Y into Park.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a lead-acid low
voltage battery (see
Jump Starting on page 227):
Transport Mode may cancel if
Model Y loses low voltage
power after Transport Mode is enabled.
CAUTION: If the electrical system is not working,
and you therefore cannot use the touchscreen to
activate Transport Mode, use self-loading dollies or
tire skates. Before doing so, always check the
