Vehicle Loading

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 the center door pillar
indicate how much weight Model 3 can safely
carry. Labels are visible when the front door is
open.

Warning: Overloading Model 3 has an
adverse effect on braking and handling,
which can compromise your safety or
cause damage.
Note: Never load more than 55 lbs (25 kg) in
the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
Caution: Never store large amounts of
liquid in Model 3. A significant spill can
cause electrical components to
malfunction.
Tire and Loading Information Label
The Tire and Loading Information label
provides:
• The maximum number of occupant
seating positions.
• The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
• The size of the original tires.
• The cold inflation pressures for the
original front and rear tires. These
pressures are recommended to optimize
ride and handling characteristics.

Never change this label, even if you use
different tires in the future.
Note: If Model 3 is loaded to its full capacity,
double check all tires to ensure they are
inflated to their recommended pressure levels.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of Model 3.
This is calculated as the weight of Model
3, 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.
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 kg or XXX lbs" on the
"Tire and Loading Information" label.
