Towing The Tesla

[Tow411]

Topic Originally Created by Myerstowing  in June of 2013:

 

Got a call for an 80 mile tow back to the dealer.  Owner was all excited that this car does 0-60 in 3.7.  It was nosed into his garage so we used Go-Jacks to spin it around and use the transport hook to winch it onto the flatbed.  The owner did not want to give us his keys and kept asking what will happen to them if we took the keys with us lol.  Just told him that we can shut the door (Need the Key For That) and the service department will have them when he picks up his car.  Anyway I haven't seen a Tesla on here yet so here are a few pics loading up.

We have a customer that recently bought one. Have yet to put it on the deck. But being that he is super meticulous about his cars, I am sure the day will come that he has us tow it for something simple.

Is the tow hook permanent or removable like BMWs? Also how bad on the low clearance? Lots of ramping needed?

Nice job Billy, I know your on-hook coverage is high enough.

Is that a rental? oh, I see he rents it out.

Doesn't he know what people like me do to rentals ?
HA
The front tow hook took all the fun out of loading.

Tesla is trying to get people to sign up to be a provider and wants to my regular motor club rates and pay every 90 days.
