Vehicle Loading - Tesla MODEL 3 Owner's Manual

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 Model 3 indicate how much
weight Model 3 can safely carry.
Both labels are visible on the door pillar when the front
door is open.
NOTE: If your Model 3 is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, your Model 3 may include an additional
label indicating that load capacity may differ from what
is stated on the label. If this is the case, instead of
referring to the label, refer to the Owner's Manual. See
Accessory Wheels and Tires on page
