Tesla Model X: Keeping Your Vehicle in Neutral (Transport Mode)

Model X automatically shifts into Park whenever you finish driving and leave Model X. To keep Model X in Neutral when you exit, allowing it to roll freely (for example, pulling onto a flatbed truck), you must activate Transport mode:

1. Shift into Park.

2. Press the brake pedal.

3. Touch Controls > Service > Towing. The touchscreen displays a message reminding you how to properly transport Model X.

4. Press and hold the Transport Mode button until it turns blue. Model X is now free-rolling and can slowly be rolled (no faster than walking speed) for short distances or winched (for example, onto a flatbed truck).

For more information on Transport Mode, see Activate Transport Mode.

NOTE: In Transport mode, Model X does not shift into a drive mode. You must first cancel Transport mode by touching Transport Mode again. Transport mode also cancels if you use the touchscreen or drive mode selector on the center console to shift into Park or if you manually apply the parking brake by touching Controls > Safety > Parking Brake.
