Tesla MODEL 3 2020 - 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
dier from what is stated
on the label. If this is the case, instead of
referring to the label, refer to the 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
dierent 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.
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 Towing and Accessories on page
95.
Statutory Plate
In addition to the VIN, the Statutory Plate
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.
