2020 TESLA MODEL 3 tire

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a TPMS that displays a
tire pressure telltale (Tire Pressure Warning)
on the touchscreen when one or more of your
tires is significantly under- or over-in

TPMS malfunctions can occur for a variety of
reasons, including installing replacement or
alternate tires or wheels that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check
the TPMS malfunction indicator light after replacing one or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement tires or
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Note: If a tire has been replaced or repaired
using a different tire sealant than the one
available from Tesla, and a low tire pressure is
detected, it is possible that the tire sensor has
been damaged. Contact Tesla to have the fault repaired as soon as possible.Seasonal Tire Types
Summer Tires
Your vehicle may be originally equipped with high performance summer tires or all season
tires. Tesla recommends using winter tires if
driving in cold temperatures or on roads
where snow or ice may be present. Contact
Tesla for winter tire recommendations.Warning: In cold temperatures or on snow
or ice, summer tires do not provide
adequate traction. Selecting and installing the appropriate tires for winter conditions
is important to ensure the safety and
optimum performance of your Model 3.
All-Season Tires
Your Model 3 may be originally equipped with all-season tires. These tires are designed to
provide adequate traction in most conditions
year-round, but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy
conditions. All-season tires can be identified
by “ALL SEASON" and/or "M+S” (mud and
snow) on the tire sidewall.
Winter Tires
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy
or icy conditions. When installing winter tires,
always install a complete set of four tires at
the same time. Winter tires must be the same
diameter, brand, construction and tread
pattern on all four wheels. Contact Tesla for
winter tire recommendations.
Winter tires can be identified by a
mountain/snow

Driving in Low Temperatures
Tire performance is reduced in low ambient
temperatures, resulting in reduced grip and an
increased susceptibility to damage from
impacts. Performance tires can temporarily
harden when cold, causing you to hear rotational noise for the first few miles
(kilometers) until the tires warm up.
Using Tire Chains
Tesla has tested and approved the following tire chains to increase traction in snowy
conditions. Tire chains should only be installed
on the rear tires.Tire SizeRecommended

aero covers, you must remove them before installing tire chains (see Removing and Installing Aero Covers on
page 167). Failure to do so can cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
When installing tire chains, follow the
instructions and warnings provided by the tire
chain manufacturer. Mount them evenly and as
tight as possible.

If your Model 3 is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR), wheel, tire, and loading information
may be different from the labels shown on the
vehicle. Refer to the relevant following section
for updated information.
Note: If your vehicle is not fitted with Tesla
accessory wheels or tires (it is fitted with the

If your Model 3 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

1.Get isopropyl alcohol and test it on a non-
visible painted surface of your vehicle to
confirm that it does not damage or
remove the paint.
2. Clean the mounting site with isopropyl
alcohol and allow to dry for at least one
minute.
3. Fully remove the protective tape from the
adhesive at the top of the bracket and
partially remove the tape from the top of
the adhesive on each side. Leave the
bottom half of the tape on the sides in
place and fold the unattached tape
outward for easy removal after aligning
the bracket to the bumper.
4. While tilting the top of the license plate
bracket away from the bumper (to prevent adhering it to the wrong location),
align the bottom center of the license
plate bracket with the middle of the grille
as shown.
Note: Be as precise as possible when
aligning the bracket because you will be
unable to reposition it once adhered to
the bumper.
5. While correctly aligned, move the top of
the bracket against the bumper and applypressure so that it is held in place by the
adhesive.
6. Remove the remaining tape from the sides
of the bracket then press the entire
bracket firmly against the bumper,
ensuring the bracket is held in place by all
adhesive areas.
7. Once the bracket is securely mounted, use
the four supplied screws to attach your
license plate to the bracket (tighten to 3
Nm/2.2 ft-lbs).

Vehicle Loading
Load Capacity Labeling It is important to understand how much
weight your Model 3 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 3 since it was manufactured.
Two labels attached to Model 3 indicate how
much weight Model 3 can safely carry.
Both labels are visible on the door pillar when the front door is open.
Note: If your Model 3 is fitted with Tesla
accessory wheels or tires, your Model 3 may
include an additional label indicating that loadcapacity may differ from what is stated on the
label. If this is the case, instead of referring to
the label, refer to the Owner
