2020 TESLA MODEL S height

Adjusting Liftgate Opening HeightIf Model S is equipped with a powered liftgate,
you can adjust its opening height to make it
easier to reach or to avoid low-hanging
ceilings or objects (for example, a garage door
or light):
1. Open the liftgate, then manually lower or
raise it to the desired opening height.
2. Press and hold the button on the
underside of the liftgate for two seconds
until you hear a confirmation chime.
3.Confirm that you have set it to the desired
height by closing the liftgate, then
reopening it.
Interior Release To open the rear trunk from inside a Model S
equipped with the Tesla Built-In Rear Facing
Child Seats, press the interior release switch located inside the rear trunk and push theliftgate up. If Model S is locked and is
equipped with a power liftgate, the first press
unlocks the rear trunk and the second press
opens it.
Note: If Model S is not equipped with the Tesla
Rear Facing Child Seats, the switch may
appear to exist, but it will be inactive and
pressing it does not release the liftgate.
If Model S is equipped with the power liftgate,
you do not need to push it up. When you
press the release switch, it opens, and when you pull the switch, it closes.
Note: The interior release switch is disabled if
child-protection locks are turned on (see
Child-Protection Lock on page 13), or if
Model S is moving.
Accessing the Cargo Area To access the cargo area inside the rear trunk,
pull up the strap at the rear of the cargo cover.
You can then fold the cargo cover forward or
remove it from Model S.Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load

Note: Regardless of the setting you choose,
Adaptive Suspension Damping adjusts the
suspension system in real time to optimize both ride and handling.
Note: Available settings depend on your
driving speed and other conditions. For
example, the suspension does not lower if a
door is open.
Note: Your chosen Suspension Lowering and
Adaptive Suspension Damping settings are
saved to your driver profile (see Driver Profiles
on page 42).
Auto-Raising Suspension Auto-raising suspension saves you from
manually having to raise the suspension every
time you arrive at a frequently-used location
where you have previously raised the
suspension. Whenever you raise the
suspension to HIGH or VERY HIGH , Model S
saves the location. When you return to the saved location, Model S raises the suspension
and the instrument panel displays this
message:
Note: When returning to a saved location and
driving faster than the High and Very High
suspension settings allow, the suspension
does not raise until Model S slows down.
Note: After leaving a saved location, the
suspension may not lower until you are driving
faster than the speed threshold at which the
suspension lowers.
Note: If Model S reaches a saved location and
the existing suspension setting is already
higher than the level that has been saved for
that location, the ride height is not adjusted.
To remove an auto-raising location
If you do not want the suspension to auto-
raise at a saved location, touch the X in the
auto-raising location status message that
displays at a saved location. Doing so removes
the auto-raise location and the suspension no
longer raises automatically when you arrive at
the location.
Note: Manually lowering the suspension to
STANDARD or LOW while at a saved location
also removes the auto-raising location.
Jack Mode Before jacking or lifting, set the suspension to
Jack mode to prevent the self-leveling that
occurs even when Model S is powered off.
Press the brake pedal, then touch Controls >
Suspension > Jack .
To deactivate, touch Jack again.
Note: Jack mode automatically cancels when
you drive over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Note: Model S also sets Jack mode
automatically if it detects that the vehicle
cannot lower to its target height, or if it
detects that an object is supporting the
vehicle

Understanding Tire MarkingsLaws require tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire. It also provides
the tire identification number (TIN) for certification of safety standards, and in case of a recall.1Tire category. P indicates that the tire is for passenger vehicles.2Tire width. This 3-digit number is the width (in millimeters) of the tire from sidewall
edge to sidewall edge.3Aspect ratio. This 2-digit number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread
width. So, if the tread width is 205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the sidewall height is 102 mm.4Tire construction. R indicates that the tire is of Radial ply construction.5Wheel diameter. This 2-digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim in inches.6Load index. This 2 or 3-digit number is the weight each tire can support. This number is
not always shown.
