Vehicle Loading - Tesla MODEL X 2015 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Loading

Load Capacity Labeling
It is important to understand how much weight your
Model X 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 X since it was manufactured.
One or more labels attached to the center door pillar
indicate how much weight Model X can safely carry.
Labels are visible when the front door is open.
1. Towing label (if equipped)
2. Tire and Loading Information label
3. Statutory Plate
NOTE: Towing capability is available only if Model X is
equipped with the Towing Package.
WARNING: Overloading Model X has an adverse
effect on braking and handling, which can
compromise your safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 300 lbs (136 kg)
in the front trunk. Doing so can cause damage.
CAUTION: Never load more than 175 lbs (80 kg) on
the upper 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 X. A significant spill can cause electrical
components to malfunction.
Towing Label
If equipped with the towing package, the Towing Label
instructs you to refer to this owner's manual for tire
pressures that should be used when towing a trailer. Do
not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire and
Loading Information Label.

Depending on vehicle manufacture date, Model X may or
may not have a towing label.
NOTE: Towing capability is available only if Model X is
equipped with the Towing Package. Tire pressure
information, along with other information related to
towing, is located in the topic "Towing a Trailer" in the
Driving section of the onscreen Owner's Manual.
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 X 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 89.
Statutory Plate
In addition to the VIN, the Statutory Plate provides:
• GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum
allowable total mass of Model X. This is calculated as
the weight of Model X, all passengers, fluids, and
cargo.
