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.
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 effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or
cause damage.Caution: Never load more than 300 lbs
(136 kg) in the front trunk. Doing so can
cause damage.Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load

Calculating Load Limits
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 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 kg (see Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available
cargo load capacity. For example, if the
“XXX” amount equals 635 kg and there
will be five 68 kg passengers in the
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
capacity is 295 kg (635
