Expert Tesla Towing Services in Naples, FL
Understanding Tesla Towing Requirements
As Tesla vehicles become increasingly popular in Naples, FL, the need for specialized towing services has grown. At Naples Towing & Recovery, we understand that towing electric vehicles like Teslas requires specific knowledge and equipment to ensure their safety and integrity. Our team is trained in the proper procedures for towing all Tesla models, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y.
Understanding Tesla Towing Requirements
Towing a Tesla is not the same as towing a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle. According to Tesla's official guidelines, improper towing can cause significant damage to the vehicle's electric drivetrain and battery system. For instance, Teslas should not be towed with wheels on the ground, as this can lead to damage. Instead, they should be transported using a flatbed truck or appropriate towing equipment that ensures all wheels are off the ground.
Our Specialized Tesla Towing Process
At Naples Towing & Recovery, we adhere to Tesla's recommended towing procedures to provide safe and efficient service:
- Activation of Transport Mode: Before towing, it's essential to activate Transport Mode to keep the parking brake disengaged. This involves:
- Ensuring the Tesla is in Park.
- Chocking the tires or securing the vehicle.
- Pressing and holding the brake pedal, then accessing 'Controls' > 'Service' > 'Towing' on the touchscreen.
- Holding the Transport Mode button until it turns blue, indicating the vehicle is free-rolling.
- If the vehicle cannot enter Transport Mode due to power issues, we use self-loading dollies or tire skates to prevent damage.
- Utilizing Appropriate Equipment: We employ flatbed tow trucks and specialized tools designed for electric vehicles, ensuring that your Tesla is loaded and transported without any risk to its components.
- Trained Professionals: Our team stays updated with the latest Tesla towing protocols and undergoes regular training to handle electric vehicles properly.
