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 an accident, 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
