Tesla vehicles require flatbed towing -no exceptions. Wheel-lift or dolly towing a Tesla can damage the electric drivetrain, battery pack, and regenerative braking system. FreeTowNow exclusively uses flatbed carriers for all Tesla models across the San Fernando Valley.
Why Tesla Must Be Flatbed Towed
- Electric drivetrain -dragging wheels generates electricity that feeds back into the motor, causing overheating and permanent damage
- Battery pack -the battery is mounted under the floor; improper towing can cause ground clearance issues and undercarriage contact
- Regenerative braking -cannot be fully disengaged on all models, making wheel-down towing unsafe
- Air suspension (Model S/X) -requires flat, level loading to avoid suspension damage
