Preparing Your Tesla Roadster for Shipping
Before your Tesla Roadster is picked up in Pasadena, follow these steps to ensure a smooth, claim-free transport experience:
Always transport convertibles with the top up and fully secured
Convertible roofs are flagged for extra care by our carrier network
Inspect the top seal and latching mechanism before handoff
Enclosed transport is strongly recommended for open-top vehicles
EV-Specific Note
Electric vehicles should be charged to 50–80% before pickup. Avoid fully charging or completely depleting the battery. Disable any scheduled charging to prevent the carrier's equipment from being affected.
