2020 TESLA MODEL S ESP

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 S 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
DescriptionTotalVehicle capacity weight954 lbs
(433 kg)Subtract occupant weight
(2 x 150 lbs/68 kg)300 lbs
(136 kg)Available cargo weight654 lbs
(297 kg)
Driver and four passengers
DescriptionTotalVehicle capacity weight954 lbs
(433 kg)DescriptionTotalSubtract occupant weight (5 x
150 lbs/68 kg)750 lbs
(340 kg)Available cargo weight204 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 300 lbs
(136 kg).Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load

Instructions for Transporters
DO NOT TRANSPORT WITH
WHEELS ON THE GROUND
The front motor in Model S generates power
when the wheels spin. Always transport Model S with all four tires off the ground.
Ensure that the tires are unable to spin at any
time during transport.
Warning: NEVER TRANSPORT YOUR
VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY CAN SPIN. DOING SO CAN LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
DAMAGE AND OVERHEATING. IN RARE CASES EXTREME OVERHEATING MAY
CAUSE THE SURROUNDING
COMPONENTS TO IGNITE.
Do not transport Model S using any method
that is not specified by Tesla. Adhere to the
instructions provided in the following sections
and observe all warnings and cautions provided. Damage caused by impropertransporting of your vehicle is not covered by
the warranty.
Note: Tesla is not liable or responsible for
reimbursing services not dispatched through
Tesla Roadside Assistance.
Approved Methods for Transporting Note: The tires are allowed to rotate slowly
(under 3 mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short
distance (less than 30 feet or 10 meters) only
when Transport Mode is enabled (see Activate
Transport Mode on page 207) while the
vehicle is being winched onto a
