Towing Capacity
The total trailer weight (including all cargo and additional equipment), and the trailer tongue weight, must never
exceed the following:
Tires
Maximum Towing Capacity*
Maximum Tongue Weight**
20" or 22"
2250 kg
90 kg
*Tesla recommends a separate braking system on trailers with a loaded weight of over 450 kg. The braking system
must be appropriate for the weight of the trailer. Follow the instructions provided by the trailer brake manufacturer
to ensure that trailer brakes are properly installed, adjusted, and maintained.
**The tongue weight is the downward force that the weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It is the technically
permissible maximum mass at the coupling point (90 kg). It must not be less than 4% of the trailer load. Carrying a
significant amount of equipment, passengers, or cargo in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can
handle, which also reduces the maximum towing capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated assuming the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is not exceeded. The GVWR is printed on the Statutory Plate (see
).
