Vehicle Loading - Tesla MODEL 3 2012 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 3.
Both labels are located on the passenger side
of the vehicle. The Product Plate can be seen
when the rear passenger door is open. The
Tire Information label can be seen when the
front passenger 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
values may differ from what is stated on the
label.

WARNING: Overloading Model 3 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 3. A significant spill
can cause electrical components to
malfunction.
Tire Information label
The Tire Information label provides:
• The maximum number of occupant
seating positions.
• 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.
