TESLA MODEL Y 2023 Owners Manual

Canada:
Mexico:
CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model Y
so that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the
individual GAWR weights.
Roof Racks
Model Y 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 198). Failure to do so can
cause
significant damage.

Understanding Tire Markings
Laws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire. It also provides the tire identification number
(TIN) for certification of safety standards, and in case of a recall.
1.
Tire category: P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles.
2.
Tire width: This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.
3.
Aspect ratio: This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width. So, if the tread width is
205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm.
4.
Tire construction: R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction.
5.
Wheel diameter: This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.
6.
Load index: This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is not always shown.
7.
Speed rating: When stated, indicates the maximum speed (in mph) at which the tire can be used for extended
periods. Q=99 mph (160 km/h), R=106 mph (170 km/h), S=112 mph (180 km/h), T=118 mph (190 km/h), U=124 mph (200 km/h), H=130 mph (210 km/h), V=149 mph (240 km/h), W=168 mph (270 km/h), Y=186 mph (300 km/h),
(Y)=vehicle

8. Load range: Shown as Standard Load (SL) or Extra Load (XL), the load range determines how much weight your
tires can support at a
specified tire pressure. When replacing tires, only use tires of the same load range. If towing
with snow tires, ensure they are the same load range of the tires your vehicle came equipped with.
9.
Tire composition and materials: The number of plies in both the tread area and the sidewall area indicates how
many layers of rubber coated material make up the structure of the tire. Information is also provided on the type
of materials used.
10.
Maximum tire load: The maximum load which can be carried by the tire.
11.
Maximum permissible inflation pressure: This pressure should not be used for normal driving.
12.
U.S. DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN): Begins with the letters DOT and indicates that the tire meets all federal
standards. The next 2 digits/letters represent the plant code where it was manufactured, and the last 4 digits represent the week and year of manufacture. For example, the number 1712 is used to represent the 17th week of 2012. The other numbers are marketing codes used at the manufacturer

Uniform Tire Quality Grading
The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), which grades tires by tread wear, traction and temperature performance. Tires that have
deep tread, and winter tires, are exempt from these marking requirements.
Where applicable, quality grades are found on the tire
