Vehicle Loading
Vehicle Certification Label
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)
The Vehicle Certification label provides:
•
GVWR - Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. The
maximum allowable total mass of Model S.
This is calculated as the weight of
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of
available cargo and luggage capacity is
Model S, all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
650 lbs (1400
295 kg (635 ‑
‑ 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or
340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg.
•
GAWR FRT and GAWR RR - Gross Axle
Weight Rating for the front and rear axles.
The GAWR is the maximum distributed
weight that each axle can support.
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.
United States:
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
Canada:
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.
Example 1: Driver and one passenger

Caution: To prevent damage, never load
Model S so that it is heavier than GVWR
or exceeds the individual GAWR weights.
