Tesla is not affiliated with Emergency Call services. Do not use Emergency Call to contact Tesla (such as when requesting Roadside Assistance) because the call goes directly to third-party emergency responders. Tesla is not financially responsible for any costs associated with services dispatched through Emergency Call.

Canceling Emergency Call

Emergency Call can only be canceled when it is manually activated. To cancel, press Cancel Call on the touchscreen. The ability to cancel is available for the stated countdown duration on the touchscreen. After countdown, the call can only be canceled by the answering agent.
