The front motor and rear motor(s) in Cybertruck may generate power when the wheels spin. Always transport Cybertruck with all four tires off the ground. Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any time during transport.

Do not transport Cybertruck using any method that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the instructions provided here and observe all warnings and cautions. Damage caused by improper transporting of your vehicle is not covered by the warranty.

A flatbed truck or comparable transport vehicle is the recommended method of transporting Cybertruck. Cybertruck can face either direction on the truck bed.

Activate Transport Mode before repositioning Cybertruck (if necessary) and winching it onto a flatbed tow truck. For more information, see Activate Transport Mode.

If Cybertruck has no low voltage power, attempt to jump start the low voltage system first so that you can then activate Transport Mode. For more information about jump starting, see If Vehicle Has No Power.

If Cybertruck has no low voltage power:

1. Open the powered frunk. See Opening the Powered Frunk with No Power.
2. Jump start the low voltage battery. See Jump Starting.

Cybertruck must have low voltage power to open the doors from the outside or use the touchscreen.

If you are unable to jump start Cybertruck and the touchscreen is not accessible, use tire skates to re-position the rear tires, keeping front tires on the ground. When using tire skates, be sure to use skates of sufficient size to avoid contact between the tire and the bed/pavement. Before using tire skates, always check the manufacturer's specifications and recommended loading capacity.

Your Cybertruck is equipped with an air suspension system that automatically self-levels, even when the vehicle is "asleep" and the touchscreen is powered off. To prevent damage, you must activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling:

1. Touch Controls > Ride and Handling on the touchscreen.
2. Press the brake pedal, and then touch Medium to maximize ride height.
3. Touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode.

Transport Mode keeps the parking brake disengaged while winching Cybertruck 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:

• Low voltage power. If Cybertruck has no low voltage power, attempt to jump start the low voltage system so that you can use the touchscreen to activate Transport Mode (see If Vehicle Has No Power).
• Cybertruck must detect a key. Transport Mode is available only when a key is detected.
• Ensure the vehicle is not connected to a charger. Transport Mode is not available if Cybertruck is still plugged in.

To activate Transport Mode:

1. Ensure the vehicle is in Park and that it is not connected to a charge cable.
2. Chock the tires and make sure Cybertruck is secure.
   Warning

   Ensure that the wheels are secure and that Cybertruck has continuous low voltage support while it is in Transport Mode. If there is a loss of low voltage power (for example, if the low voltage battery does not self-recover before activating Transport Mode or if the external power supply becomes disconnected) there is a risk of rollaway.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal, and then on the touchscreen, touch Controls > Service > Towing. The touchscreen displays a message reminding you how to properly transport Cybertruck.
4. Touch Enter Transport Mode. The button turns blue to show that Cybertruck is now in Transport Mode. Cybertruck is now free-rolling and can be rolled slowly (no faster than walking speed) for short distances or winched (for example, onto a flatbed truck).
   Warning

   Power steering may be disabled when Cybertruck is in Transport Mode. The steering system may be less responsive and the steering wheel may be more difficult to turn. Use extreme caution when repositioning the wheels of Cybertruck while in Transport Mode.

To cancel Transport Mode, touch Exit Transport Mode or shift Cybertruck into Park. If your phone key is not detected, canceling Transport Mode powers off Cybertruck. You may need your key card to restart the vehicle.

To pull Cybertruck from the rear, use the tow hitch:

1. Chock the tires.
2. Remove the rear tow hitch cover. See Accessing the Trailer Hitch Assembly.
3. Attach the winch cable to the cutouts on either side of the tow hitch.

   

4. Activate Transport Mode. See Activate Transport Mode.
   Note

   If Cybertruck has no low voltage power, you will need to jump start it before activating Transport Mode. See If Vehicle Has No Power.
5. Remove the tire chocks.
6. Pull Cybertruck slowly onto the flatbed truck.
7. If Cybertruck is in Transport Mode, deactivate it by touching Transport Mode again.

To pull Cybertruck onto a flatbed truck from the front, use one or both of the square tow hooks beneath the front fascia:

1. Chock the tires.
2. Attach the winch cable to the tow hook(s). Either one or both tow hooks can be used.

   

3. Activate Transport Mode. See Activate Transport Mode.
   Note

   If Cybertruck has no low voltage power, you will need to jump start it before activating Transport Mode. See If Vehicle Has No Power.
4. Remove the tire chocks.
5. Pull Cybertruck slowly onto the flatbed truck.
6. If Cybertruck is in Transport Mode, deactivate it by touching Transport Mode again.

The vehicle's tires must be secured onto the flatbed using the eight-point tie-down method.

• Remove any wheel covers before securing the tires.
  CAUTION

  Failure to remove wheel covers before attaching tie-down straps may result in damage to the wheel covers.
• Ensure any metal parts on the tie-down straps do not touch the face of the wheels.
• Do not place tie-down straps over body panels or through the wheels.
