WARNING: Overloading Model SModel X has an adverse effect on braking and handling, which can compromise your
safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 110 lbs (50 kg) in the front trunk. Doing so can 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) in the upper compartment of the rear trunk or more than 175 lbs (80 kg)
in the lower compartment. Doing so can cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 175 lbs (80 kg) in the upper compartment of the rear trunk or more than 285 lbs (130
kg) in the lower compartment. Doing so can cause damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of liquid in Model SModel X. A significant spill can cause electrical components to
malfunction.
Load Capacity Labeling
It is important to understand how much weight your Model X 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 X since it was
manufactured.
One or more labels attached to the center door pillar indicate how much weight Model X can safely carry. Labels are visible
when the front door is open.

Towing Label
If equipped with the towing package, the Towing Label instructs you to refer to this owner's manual for tire pressures that
should be used when towing a trailer. Do not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire and Loading Information Label.

Depending on vehicle manufacture date, Model SModel X may or may not have a towing label.

Owners Manual
NOTE: Towing capability is available only if Model X is equipped with the Towing Package. Tire pressure information, along
with other information related to towing, is located in the topic "Towing a Trailer" in the Driving section of the onscreen
Owner's Manual.
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.
United States/Canada:

Mexico:

Never change this label, even if you use different tires in the future.
NOTE: If Model SModel 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 269.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum allowable total mass of Model SModel X. This is calculated as the
weight of Model SModel X equipped with the heaviest factory selectable options, all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
• GAWR FRT and GAWR RR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the front and rear axles. The GAWR is the maximum distributed
weight that each axle can support.

CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model SModel 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 SModel 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.
Driver and one passenger
Description

Total

Vehicle capacity weight

954 lbs (433 kg)

Subtract occupant weight (2 x 150 lbs/68 kg)

300 lbs (136 kg)

Available cargo weight

654 lbs (297 kg)

Driver and four passengers
Description

Total

Vehicle capacity weight

954 lbs (433 kg)

Subtract occupant weight (5 x 150 lbs/68 kg)

750 lbs (340 kg)

Available cargo weight

204 lbs (93 kg)

The cargo weight should be distributed between the front and rear trunks.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum front trunk load weight of 110 lbs (50 kg).
CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum front trunk load weight of 300 lbs (136 kg).
CAUTION: Never load more than 175 lbs (80 kg)175 lbs (80 kg) on the rear load floor (above the lower trunk
compartment) or more than 285 lbs (130 kg)175 lbs (80 kg) in the lower trunk compartment. Doing so can cause
damage.
Towing a Trailer
WARNING: Do not use Model SModel X for towing purposes. Model SModel X does not support a trailer hitch. Installing
one could cause damage and increase the risk of a collision.
CAUTION: Using Model SModel X for towing may void the warranty.
Roof Racks
A Model S equipped with a glass roof, or a panoramic sunroof, can carry up to 165 lbs (75 kg) using a Tesla-approved roof rack
(see Parts and Accessories on page 465).A Model S equipped with a solid body color roof is incompatible with roof racks.
CAUTION: Do not use roof racks, or place any load, on the roof of a Model S that is equipped with a solid color roof.
Doing so can cause significant damage.
