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 1400 lbs (635 kg) and
there will be
five 150 lb (68 kg)
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage capacity is
650 lbs (1400 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
295 kg (635 340 (5 x 68) = 295 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 150 lbs
(68 kg). If the passengers weigh more or less,
the available cargo and luggage load capacity
decreases or increases respectively.
Driver and one passenger
Description
Total
Vehicle capacity weight 954 lbs
(433 kg)
Subtract occupant weight
(2 x 150 lbs/68 kg)
300 lbs
(136 kg)
Available cargo weight 654 lbs
(297 kg)
Driver and four passengers
Description Total
Vehicle capacity weight 954 lbs
(433 kg)
Subtract occupant weight (5 x
150 lbs/68 kg)
750 lbs
(340 kg)
Available cargo weight 204 lbs
(93 kg)
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 300 lbs
(136 kg).
Towing a Trailer
Warning: Do not use Model S for towing
purposes. Model S does not support a
trailer hitch. Installing one could cause
damage and increase the risk of an
accident.
Caution: Using Model S for towing may
void the warranty.
Roof Racks
If Model S is equipped with the all glass
panoramic roof, you can carry up to 75 kg
using a Tesla-approved roof rack (see Parts
and Accessories on page 159). A Model S
equipped with a solid aluminum roof is
incompatible with roof racks.
Caution: Damage caused by roof racks is
not covered by the warranty.
Caution: Do not use roof racks, or place
any load, on the roof of a Model S that is
equipped with a solid aluminum roof.
Doing so can cause significant damage.
