brake TESLA MODEL 3 2023 Owner's Manual

2. Chock the tires or make sure Model 3 is secure.3.
Press and hold the brake pedal, then on the touchscreen, touch
Controls > Service > Towing. The
touchscreen displays a message reminding you how
to properly transport
Model 3.
4.
Press and hold the Transport Mode button until it
turns blue.
Model 3 is now free-rolling and can slowly
be rolled (no faster than walking speed) or winched.
To cancel Transport Mode, shift Model 3 into Park.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a lead-acid low
voltage battery (see
Jump Starting on page 225):
Transport Mode may cancel if
Model 3 loses low voltage
power after Transport Mode is enabled.
CAUTION: If the electrical system is not working,
and you therefore cannot use the touchscreen to
activate Transport Mode, use self-loading dollies or
tire skates. Before doing so, always check the
manufacturer

If you continue to experience reduced braking performance which does not improve over time, please contact Tesla
service at your convenience for a brake inspection.
For more information, see Hydraulic Fade Compensation on page 61.
PCS_a016
Cannot charge - Poor grid power quality possible
Retry / Try other charge location or Supercharging
What this alert means:
Charging has stopped due to a condition that prevents your vehicle from charging with AC power. DC fast charging /
Supercharging should still function as expected.
This may be due to power supply disturbances caused by the external charging equipment or by the electrical
power grid. In some cases, this condition may be the result of using nearby electric devices that draw a lot of power.
If these possible causes can be ruled out, then a condition with your vehicle itself may also be affecting AC charging.
What to do:
If this alert is accompanied by another alert that specifies the condition affecting AC charging, start by investigating
that alert.
