Load Capacity Labeling
It is important to understand how much
weight your Model S can safely carry. This
weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo and any additional equipment added to
your Model S since it was manufactured.
Two labels attached to the center door pillar
indicate how much weight Model S can safely
carry. Labels are visible when the front door is
open.
1. Tire and Loading Information Label
2. Statutory Plate
Warning: Overloading Model S has an
adverse eect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or
cause damage.
Caution: Never load more than 136 kg in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause
damage.
Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs
(80 kg) on the rear load floor (above the
lower trunk compartment) or more than
130 lbs (60 kg) in the lower trunk
compartment. Doing so can cause
damage.
Caution: Never store large amounts of
liquid in Model S. A significant spill can
cause electrical components to
malfunction.
Tire and Loading Information Label
The Tire and Loading Information label
provides:
• The maximum number of occupant
seating positions.
• The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
• The size of the original tires.
• The cold
inflation pressures for the
original front and rear tires. These
pressures are recommended to optimize
ride and handling characteristics.
Never change this label, even if you use
dierent tires in the future.
Note: If Model S is loaded to its full capacity,
double check all tires to ensure they are
inflated to their recommended pressure levels.
Statutory Plate
In addition to the VIN, the Statutory Plate
provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of Model S.
This is calculated as the weight of
Model S, all passengers,
fluids, and cargo.
• GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the
front and rear axles. The GAWR is the
maximum distributed weight that each
axle can support.
Caution:
To prevent damage, never load
Model S so that it is heavier than GVWR
or exceeds the individual GAWR weights.
