About Tesla Car Shipping

Tesla vehicles have unique transport considerations — they're expensive, all-electric, and equipped with sensitive electronics. Uwon Carriers connects you with EV-experienced carriers who understand how to load, secure, and handle Tesla models properly, from the sleek Model 3 to the massive Cybertruck.

Whether you're relocating, purchasing from an out-of-state dealership, or shipping a Tesla to a snowbird destination, our 5,000+ carrier network provides nationwide coverage with enclosed and open transport options.

Tesla Shipping Tips & Requirements

Disable Sentry Mode

Turn off Tesla's Sentry Mode before transport to avoid draining the battery. Leave 15–20% charge, but not full — that reduces battery stress during transit.

Enclosed vs. Open Transport

For Model S, X, or Cybertruck, enclosed transport offers extra protection from road debris and weather. Model 3 and Y are frequently shipped on open carriers without issue.

No Key Needed

Carriers use your Tesla's mobile app PIN-to-drive or card keys to load and unload. You won't need to provide your main keyfob.

Frunk & Trunk Empty

Remove all valuables and leave the frunk/trunk unlatched per carrier instructions for easy access during loading.

Transport Mode

Enable Tesla Transport Mode before pickup to disable automatic braking and allow the carrier to maneuver onto the trailer safely.

Cybertruck & Width

The Cybertruck is extra-wide — make sure to inform us at booking so we dispatch a carrier with appropriate trailer clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tesla Shipping

How much does it cost to ship a Tesla?

Tesla shipping starts from $199 for open transport and from $399 for enclosed, depending on model and distance. Coast-to-coast transport is available at competitive rates. Cybertruck may cost slightly more due to size.

Is enclosed transport necessary for Tesla?

Not always. Most Model 3 and Model Y owners use open transport without issues. For Model S, Plaid, Model X, or Cybertruck, enclosed transport is strongly recommended for added protection.

How much charge should my Tesla have before shipping?

Leave 15–20% charge. A full charge stresses the battery pack during transit; zero charge can cause the car to need a tow rather than roll onto the trailer.

Can you ship a Tesla Cybertruck?

Yes. The Cybertruck requires a specialized flatbed or open trailer with extra width. Inform us at booking so we can match the right carrier equipment. Expect a $50–$200 surcharge over standard pricing.

How long does Tesla shipping take?

Under 500 miles: 1–3 days. 500–1,500 miles: 3–5 days. Cross-country: 6–10 days. Expedited options are available to reduce transit times.

Carrier Matching from Our Vetted Network

We dispatch your shipment to a carrier in our vetted network — every one with active FMCSA authority, current insurance, and a documented track record. You see the carrier's info before booking is final.

Pickup Scheduling & Bill of Lading

We coordinate a pickup window with you and the driver. At pickup, the driver completes a Bill of Lading with photo documentation of the vehicle's exact condition — protecting both sides.

Door-to-Door Transport with Tracking

Your vehicle moves directly to its destination — no terminal stops. GPS tracking and direct contact with the driver throughout transit, with progress updates along the route.

Delivery & Joint Inspection

The driver calls 1–2 hours before arrival. You and the driver inspect the vehicle together against the original Bill of Lading photos, sign off, and you take the keys. Payment is due at delivery.
