2020 TESLA MODEL S weight

Front Trunk
Opening
To open the front trunk:
1. Ensure that the area around the hood is
free of obstacles.
2. Touch the associated OPEN button on the
touchscreen ( Controls > Quick Controls ),
double-click the front trunk button on the key, or touch the front trunk button on the
mobile app.
3. Pull the hood up.
When a door or trunk/liftgate is
open, the instrument panel displays
the Door Open indicator light. The
image of your Model S on the
touchscreen also displays the open
front trunk.Warning: Before opening or closing the
hood, it is important to check that the area around the hood is free of obstacles
(people and objects). Failure to do so
may result in damage or serious injury.
Note: The front trunk locks whenever closed
and you lock Model S using either the
touchscreen or externally using the key or
mobile app, you leave Model S carrying your key (if Walk-Away Locking on page 13 is
turned on), or when Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 43).
Closing
The Model S hood is not heavy enough to
latch under its own weight and applying
pressure on the front edge or center of the
hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches
the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood
in the areas shown (in green), then press
down firmly to engage the latches.
3.
Carefully try to lift the front edge of the
hood to ensure that it is fully closed.Caution: To prevent damage:

1.Hold the child safety seat by the belt path
and try to slide the safety seat from side
to side and front to back.
2. If the seat moves more than one inch
(2.5 cm), it is too loose. Tighten the belt or
reconnect the LATCH retained child safety
seat.
3. If you are unable to reduce slack, try a
different seat location or try another child
safety seat.
Child Safety Seat WarningsWarning: Extreme hazard! Do not seat a
child on the front passenger seat even if
you are using a child safety seat. This seat
has an airbag in front of it. Although this airbag is disabled when Model S detects a
lightweight passenger, do not rely on technology to protect your child.Warning: Child restraint systems are
designed to be secured in vehicle seats
by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap-shoulder belt. Children could be
endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the
vehicle.Warning: According to collision statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions
than in the front seating positions.Warning: Do not use a forward facing
child safety seat until your child weighs
over 20 lbs (9 kg) and can sit
independently. Up to the age of two, a
child

Vehicle Loading
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
and includes the weight of all occupants,
cargo and any additional equipment added to your Model S since it was manufactured.
Two labels attached to the center door pillar
indicate how much weight Model S can safely
carry. Labels are visible when the front door is
open.
1. Tire and Loading Information Label
2. Vehicle Certification Label
Warning: Overloading Model S has an
adverse effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or
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) on the rear load

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

150 lbs/68 kg)750 lbs

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

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.
