🚨 Never let a tow truck drag your Tesla on its wheels. It could Fry your motors and VOID warranty coverage! ⚠️🚗

Every Tesla owner needs to know this before an emergency tow. One wrong move could mean thousands in out-of-warranty repairs.

Why improper towing destroys motors?

Tesla’s electric motors (especially the permanent magnet ones in Model 3/Y) act as generators when the wheels spin. Towing with wheels on the ground causes the generated electricity to build up as heat and damage motors, inverters, or the high-voltage system.

Official Tesla Towing Rules (Straight from the Manual)
• Flatbed only: All four wheels must be off the ground.
• Wheel dollies: Only for short maneuvering onto a flatbed.
• Never flat-tow or drag on the ground, even briefly. The owner’s manual explicitly warns against it.

Damage from improper towing is not covered by warranty. Always insist on a flatbed and supervise if possible ⚠️

How to Enable Tow Mode (Critical Before Loading) 👇🏼

This disengages the parking brake for winching (limited to walking speed, short distances only):
1. Ensure the car is in Park and secure (chock the tires).
2. Press and hold the brake pedal.
3. On the touchscreen: Controls > Service > Towing.
4. Tap Enter Tow Mode (it turns blue when active).
Exit the mode once loaded and secured.

Pro tip: Keep a printed copy of your model’s towing instructions in the glovebox or saved on your phone. Many tow operators aren’t familiar with EVs.

Share this with your Tesla friends and family. It could save someone’s drivetrain and wallet. Better informed than sorry!

A Model Y driver started experiencing a medical emergency with chest pain mid-drive & called his son.

His son then remotely rerouted the car – which had FSD Supervised enabled – to the nearest hospital & let them know the vehicle was en route. ER staff were standing by on arrival.

Doctors later confirmed the quick reroute likely saved his life.

It boggles my mind that the LEAST exciting thing about the next-gen Tesla Roadster is going to be going 0 to 60 mph in 1 second…

This has to be the most exciting product unveil ever.

Leaked FSD 14.3 telemetry footage. 👀 
Looks like adjustable following distance is coming, possibly in response to recent complaints about aggressive following.

UPDATE: Elon Musk says the driver of this Cybertruck disengaged Autopilot four seconds before crashing, which means the driver was manually driving during this entire clip that Fox shared.

Elon: "As anyone knows who uses it, that video is not how Autopilot drives."
