safety, and reliability. Purchase these parts from Tesla, where they are professionally installed and where you can
receive expert advice about modifications to Model X. Accessories are available for purchase from Tesla stores or
online at www.tesla.com.
NOTE: Some accessories may not be available in your market region.
Tesla is unable to assess parts manufactured by other distributors and therefore accepts no responsibility if you use
non-Tesla parts on Model X.
WARNING: Installing non-approved parts and accessories, or performing non-approved modifications, can
affect the performance of Model X and the safety of its occupants. Any damage caused by using or installing
non-approved parts, or by performing non-approved modifications, is not covered by the warranty.

Body Repairs
If your Model X is in a collision, contact Tesla or a Tesla-approved Body Shop to ensure that it is repaired with
genuine Tesla parts. Tesla has selected and approved body shops that meet strict requirements for training,
equipment, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Some repair shops and insurance companies might suggest using non-original equipment or salvaged parts to save
money. However, these parts do not meet Tesla's high standards for quality, fit and corrosion resistance. In addition,
non-original equipment and salvaged parts (and any damage or failures they might cause) are not covered by the
warranty.
Using RFID Transponders
When attaching an RFID transponder (used by many automated toll systems) inside Model X, place the transponder
near the topmost area of the windshield. This ensures best results and minimizes any obstruction to your driving
view. Refer to the RFID manufacturer's instructions for specific placement.
NOTE: You can also attach a weather-proof transponder to the front license plate.

Vehicle Loading
Vehicle Labeling
It is important to understand your vehicle's original tire sizes and pressures, and the . This information can be found
on two labels attached to Model X.

1. Towing label (if equipped)
2. Tire and Loading Information Label
3. Vehicle Certification label
NOTE: Towing capability is available only if Model X is equipped with the Towing Package.
WARNING: Overloading Model X has an adverse effect on braking and handling, which can compromise your
safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of liquid in Model X. A significant spill can cause electrical components
to malfunction.
Towing Label
NOTE: Depending on date the vehicle was manufactured, Model X may or may not have a towing label.
Towing capability is available only if Model X is equipped with the Towing Package. If equipped with the towing
package, the Towing Label instructs you to refer to the owner's manual for tire pressures that should be used when
towing a trailer. Do not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire Information Label. Instead, see the topic "Towing a
Trailer" in the Driving section of the onscreen Owner's Manual.

Tire and Loading Information Label
• The maximum number of occupant seating positions.
• The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
279

Owners Manual
• 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.
Label Format:

Never change this label, even if you use different tires in the future.
NOTE: If Model X is loaded to its full capacity, double check all tires to ensure they are inflated to their
recommended pressure levels.
WARNING: Tire pressures printed on the Tire and Loading Information label DO NOT APPLY to towing. When
towing, tire pressures must be increased. For information about the tire pressures required when towing, see
Towing and Accessories on page 145.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum allowable total mass of Model X. This is calculated as the weight of
Model X equipped with the heaviest factory selectable options, all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
• FRT and RR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the front and rear axles. The is the maximum distributed weight that
each axle can support.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model X so that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the individual
GAWR weights.
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 ‑ 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 295 kg (635 ‑ 340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg).
5. Determine the combined cargo weight being loaded on the vehicle. That weight must not exceed the available
cargo load capacity calculated in Step 4.
WARNING: Trunks are the preferred places to carry objects. In a collision, or during hard braking and sharp
turns, loose items in the cabin could injure occupants.
Example Load Limit Calculations

How much cargo Model X can carry depends on the number and weight of passengers. The following calculated
load limit examples assume passengers weigh 150 lbs (68 kg). If passengers weigh more or less, available cargo
weight decreases or increases respectively.
