Enclosed Tesla Shipping Case Study: Coast-to-Coast Protection for a $70K Electric Car
Shipping a Tesla isn’t like moving any other car — it’s an electric masterpiece worth protecting. When Dr. Patel, a Boston tech executive, relocated to Los Angeles, he refused to risk his Model Y Performance on an open trailer exposed to weather, road debris, and cross-country grit. He wanted white-glove enclosed auto transport with real-time tracking, full insurance, and zero compromises. Here’s how Northaxis Freight LLC delivered — literally.
