8.4 MODEL S OWNERS MANUAL
Statutory Plate
In addition to the VIN, the Statutory Plate
provides:
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of Model S.
This is calculated as the weight of Model S,
all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
GAWR - Gross Axle Weight Rating for the
front and rear axles. The GAWR is the
maximum distributed weight that each axle
can support.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, never
load Model S so that it is heavier than the
GVWR or exceeds the individual GAWR
weights.
Calculating Load Limits
1. Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your
vehicle’s “Tire and Loading Information”
label.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
the vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs
(see Step 1).
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 635 kg, and there will be five 68 kg
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage capacity is 294
kg (635-340 (5x68)=294 kg).
5. Determine the combined weight of cargo
and luggage being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight must not exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step4.
WARNING: The front and rear trunks are
the preferred places to carry objects. In
an accident, or during hard braking and sharp
turns, loose items in the cabin could injure
occupants.
Example Load Limit Calculations
How much cargo you can carry in Model S
depends on the number and weight of
passengers. The following are typical examples
of calculated load limits. These examples
assume passengers weighing 68 kg. If the
passengers weigh more or less, the available
cargo and luggage load capacity decreases or
increases respectively.
Example 1: Driver and one passenger
Example 2: Driver and four passengers
The available cargo or luggage weight should
then be distributed between the front and rear
trunks.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the maximum
front trunk load weight of 136 kg.
Towing a Trailer
WARNING: Do not tow a trailer. Model S
does not support a trailer hitch. Installing
one could damage Model S and increase the
risk of an accident.
