Body Repairs
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

Using RFID Transponders
When attaching an RFID transponder (used by many
automated toll systems) inside
Model 3, place the
transponder
on the passenger side of the rear view
mirror as shown. This ensures best results and minimizes
any obstruction to your driving view.
NOTE: You can also attach a weather-proof transponder
to the front license plate.
Installing Front License Plate
Bracket
To accommodate jurisdictions that require a license plate on the front of your vehicle,
Model 3 is equipped
with a license plate bracket. This bracket conforms to
the shape of your vehicle
Page 180 of 248
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).Parts and Accessories

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 load capacity may
differ from what
is stated on the label. If this is the case, instead of referring to the label, refer to the Owner
Page 183 of 248
CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model 3
so that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the
individual GAWR weights.
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
