cargo TESLA MODEL 3 2023 Owners Manual

If the powered trunk senses an obstruction when
closing, it stops moving and sounds two chimes.
Remove the obstruction and try closing it again.WARNING: Before driving, ensure that the trunk is
securely latched in the fully-closed position by
lifting up on the bottom edge and confirming
there is no movement.
Accessing the Cargo Area
To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk, pull up
the strap at the rear of the cargo cover. You can then
fold the cargo cover forward or remove it from
Model 3.
Secure all cargo before moving Model 3, and place
heavy cargo in the
lower trunk compartment.
The cargo weight should be distributed as evenly as possible between the front and rear trunks.
CAUTION: Never load more than 88 lbs (40 kg) in
the lower tub compartment of the rear trunk or
more than 287 lbs (130 kg) on the upper floor.
Doing so can cause damage.
WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider
the vehicle

Mexico:
CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model 3
so that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the
individual GAWR weights.
Towing a Trailer
WARNING: Do not use Model 3 for towing
purposes. Model 3 does not currently support
towing. Towing can cause damage and increase
the risk of a collision.
CAUTION: Using Model 3 for towing without Tesla-
approved towing components and accessories
may void the warranty.
Roof Racks
Model 3 supports the use of Tesla-approved roof racks
using a Tesla mounting accessory. To install roof racks,
you must use this accessory and you must use only roof
rack systems that have been approved by Tesla
(see
Parts and Accessories on page 190). Failure to do so can
cause
significant damage.
Calculating Load Limits
1.
Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs or
XXX kg” on the “Tire and Loading Information” label.
2.
Determine the combined weight of all occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the occupants from XXX lbs or XXX kg (see Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available cargo load
capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals
1400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be
five 150 lb (68 kg)
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of available cargo capacity is 650 lbs (1400
