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

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
