Calculating Load Limits
Example 2: Driver and four passengers
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.
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
the vehicle.
Description
Total
Vehicle capacity weight
433 kg
340 kg
Subtract occupant weight (5 x 68
kg)
2.
3.
4.
Available cargo weight
93 kg
Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg (see
Step 1).
The available cargo or luggage weight should
then be distributed between the front and
rear trunks.
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 295 kg (635 ‑ 340
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum
front trunk load weight of 136 kg.
Towing a Trailer
(5
x 68) = 295 kg).
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.
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.
Disclaimers
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.
Vehicle Telematics/Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with electronic
modules that monitor and record data from
various vehicle systems, including the motor,
Battery, braking and electrical systems. The
electronic modules record information about
various driving and vehicle conditions,
including braking, acceleration, trip and other
related information regarding your vehicle.
These modules also record information about
the vehicle’s features such as charging events
and status, the enabling/disabling of various
systems, diagnostic trouble codes, VIN, speed,
direction and location.
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.
The data is stored by the vehicle and may be
accessed, used and stored by Tesla service
technicians during vehicle servicing or
periodically transmitted to Tesla wirelessly
through the vehicle’s telematics system. This
data may be used by Tesla for various
purposes, including, but not limited to:
providing you with Tesla telematics services;
troubleshooting; evaluation of your vehicle’s
quality, functionality and performance;
analysis and research by Tesla and its partners
for the improvement and design of our
vehicles and systems; and as otherwise may
be required by law. In servicing your vehicle,
