Emergency Response Guide for Tesla Model Y 2025-Present

Important Safety Information

This guide is intended for emergency responders. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when approaching the vehicle. Be aware that the absence of engine noise does not mean the vehicle is off; it may move silently or restart unexpectedly.

Vehicle Identification

The Tesla Model Y is a pure electric vehicle. The Tesla badge indicates it is an electric vehicle. Note that the model name is not displayed on the exterior of the vehicle.

Stabilization and Lifting

To stabilize the vehicle:

• Chock the wheels to prevent movement.
• Ensure the vehicle is in Park.
• Use only the designated lift points located on the sides of the vehicle.
• Avoid applying pressure to the high-voltage battery located in the floor.

Disabling the High-Voltage System

To disable the high-voltage system:

1. Open the hood.
2. Locate the emergency response loop.
3. Cut the emergency response loop twice to ensure the system is disabled.

Warning: Do not attempt to open the high-voltage battery. All high-voltage cables are insulated in orange.

Accessing the Vehicle

In the event of a collision, electronic and mechanical door locks may be damaged. The vehicle body is made of steel, with aluminum doors. The windshield, roof glass, and rear windows are made of laminated glass, while side windows may be tempered or laminated.

Fire and Submersion Procedures

In case of fire, use large amounts of water to cool the battery from the bottom. Monitor the battery temperature for at least 24 hours as there is a risk of re-ignition. If the vehicle is submerged, treat it as any other submerged vehicle. After removing it from the water, lift the front of the vehicle by approximately 30cm to drain water from the battery pack, then keep it level.

Towing and Transport

Always use a flatbed tow truck. Towing the vehicle with wheels on the ground is strictly prohibited. Ensure the high-voltage battery temperature is checked before transport.
