Vehicle Loading
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.
There are two labels attached to Model S that
state how much weight it can safely carry.
These labels are located on the center door
post and are visible when the driver’s door is
open:
1.
Tire and Loading Information label
2.
Statutory Plate
WARNING: Overloading Model S has an
adverse effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or damage
Model S.
CAUTION: Never load more than 136 kg in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause
damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of
liquid in Model S. Significant liquid spills
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.
NOTE: Never change this label, even if you use
different tires in the future.
If Model S is loaded to its full capacity, double
check all tires to ensure they are inflated to
their recommended pressure levels.
