Accessory Weight
The combined weight (in excess of those items replaced) of
items available as factory installed equipment.

an air tight seal. The bead is constructed of steel wires which
are wrapped, or reinforced, by the ply cords.
Cold Tire Pressure
Curb Weight
The air pressure in a tire that has been standing in excess of
three hours, or driven for less than one mile.

equipment fitted, and with the correct fluid levels.
Gross Vehicle Weight
kPa (kilo pascal)

passengers, load, luggage, and equipment.
A metric unit used to measure pressure. One kilo pascal equals
approximately 0.145 psi.
Maximum Inflation Pressure
The maximum pressure to which the tire should be inflated.
This pressure is given on the tire side wall in psi (lbf/in).
Caution: This pressure marked on the tire is the maximum
allowed by the tire manufacturer. It is not the pressure
Tesla recommends using for Model S.
Maximum Loaded Vehicle

The sum of curb weight, accessory weight, vehicle capacity
weight, and production options weight.
Production Options Weight

excess of 3 lb more than the standard items that they replaced,
and are not already considered in curb or accessory weights.
PSI (lbf/in)
Pounds per square inch (the unit used to measure tire
pressure).
Recommended Tire Inflation
Pressure
Tire inflation pressure, established by Tesla, which is based on
the type of tires that are mounted on the vehicle at the factory.
This information can be found on the Tire and Loading
Information label located on the door pillar.
Rim
