Vehicle Loading - Tesla Y Owner's Manual

Vehicle Labeling
It is important to understand your vehicle's original tire
sizes and pressures, and the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating) and GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating).
This information can be found on two labels attached to
Model Y.
Both labels are visible on the door pillar when the front
door is open.
NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, your Model Y may include an additional
label indicating that values may differ from what is
stated on the label.

WARNING: Overloading Model Y has an adverse
effect on braking and handling, which can
compromise your safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 55 lbs (25 kg) in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 130 lbs (60 kg)
on the rear load floor (above the lower trunk
compartment) or more than 285 lbs (130 kg) in the
lower trunk compartment. Doing so can cause
damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of liquid in
Model Y. A significant spill can cause electrical
components to malfunction.

Never change this label, even if you use different tires in
the future.
NOTE: If Model Y is loaded to its full capacity, double
check all tires to ensure they are inflated to their
recommended pressure levels.
WARNING: Tire pressures printed on the Tire and
Loading Information label DO NOT APPLY to
towing. When towing, tire pressures must be
increased. For information about the tire pressures
required when towing, see
on page 76.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum
allowable total mass of Model Y. This is calculated as
the weight of Model Y equipped with the heaviest
factory selectable options, all passengers, fluids, and
cargo.
• GAWR FRT and GAWR RR - Gross Axle Weight
Rating for the front and rear axles. The GAWR is the
maximum distributed weight that each axle can
support.
