2. Determine the combined weight of all
occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
occupants from XXX kg or XXX lbs (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 ‑ 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 a collision, or during
hard braking and sharp turns, loose items
in the cabin could injure occupants.
Example Load Limit Calculations
How much cargo Model 3 can carry depends
on the number and weight of passengers. The
following calculated load limit examples
assume passengers weigh 150 lbs (68 kg). If
passengers weigh more or less, available
cargo weight decreases or increases
respectively.

Towing a Trailer
Roof Racks
Model 3 is equipped with a glass roof that
supports the use of Tesla-approved roof racks
using a mounting accessory that can be
purchased from Tesla. To install roof racks, you
must use this accessory and you must use
only roof rack systems that have been
approved by Tesla (see
on page 130). Failure to do so can cause
significant damage.
Note: Mounting accessories and roof rack
systems may not be available at time of
vehicle purchase.

Vehicle Loading
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum

collision.
Caution: Using Model 3 for towing before
Tesla-approved towing components and
