Vehicle Labeling
It is important to understand your vehicle's original tire sizes
and pressures, and the
TPMLM (Technically Permissible
Maximum Label Mass) and TPMAM (Technically Permissible
Maximum Mass on Axle). This information can be found on
two labels attached to
Model Y.
Both labels are visible on the front driver door pillar when it is
open.
NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory wheels
or tires, your Model Y may include an additional label
indicating that values may differ from what is stated on the
label.
NOTE: Illustrations are provided to improve conceptual
understanding only. Depending on configuration,
manufacture site and market region, details may differ.

WARNING: Overloading Model Y has an adverse effect
on braking and handling, which can compromise your
safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of liquid in Model
Y. A significant spill can cause electrical components
to malfunction.
Tire and Loading Information Label
•
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.
Label Format:
Never change this label, even if you use different tires in the
future.
NOTE: If Model Y 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 94.
Vehicle Certification Label
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
• - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The maximum allowable
total mass of Model Y. This is calculated as the weight of
Model Y equipped with the heaviest factory selectable
options, all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
• FRT and RR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the front and
rear axles. The is the maximum distributed weight that
each axle can support.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, never load Model Y so
that it is heavier than GVWR or exceeds the individual
GAWR weights.
Roof Racks
Model Y supports the use of Tesla-approved roof racks using
a Tesla mounting accessory. To install roof racks, you must
use this accessory and you must use only roof rack systems
that have been approved by Tesla (see Parts and Accessories
on page 186). Failure to do so can cause significant damage.
Steps for Determining the Correct Load
