Ensuring Safe Transport for Tesla and other Electric Vehicles
Blog post description.


At Lougheed Towing, we have extensive knowledge of the specific requirements for towing Tesla vehicles. Tesla owners may already be aware of the manufacturer's guidance against dragging these cars on their wheels, as outlined in Tesla's Tow Mode instructions. This recommendation is aimed at preventing any damage to the complex electric drivetrain of the vehicle.
Fortunately, we have a safe and effective solution for towing Tesla cars without risking any harm: the use of wheel dollies. By utilizing wheel dollies, we ensure that none of the Tesla's wheels are spinning during the tow, in line with Tesla's guidelines, and guaranteeing the safety of the vehicle's drivetrain. This approach is especially beneficial when the vehicle is unable to roll freely.
Another towing option often considered is the use of a flatbed truck. While this method is secure and keeps the Tesla entirely off the ground, it can pose challenges if the vehicle cannot be driven onto the flatbed due to a malfunction or depleted battery. In such instances, winching the vehicle onto the truck might be more complex compared to using dollies.
By opting for dollies, we provide a simpler and often faster alternative, particularly in confined spaces or when the Tesla cannot move under its own power. At Lougheed Towing, we prioritize the integrity of your vehicle and your peace of mind. Whether we use dollies or a flatbed, we ensure that every Tesla is towed safely, adhering to all manufacturer recommendations and using the appropriate equipment for the task.
