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.

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
