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.
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.

Subtract occupant weight
(2 x 150 lbs/68 kg)

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.
654 lbs
(297 kg)
Available cargo weight
Example 2: Driver and four passengers

4.
Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in
the vehicle.
954 lbs
(433 kg)
Vehicle capacity weight
Subtract the combined weight of the driver
and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs
(see Step 1).
Subtract occupant weight
(5 x 150 lbs/68 kg)
750 lbs
(340 kg)
204 lbs
Available cargo weight
The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load
(93
kg)
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
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
(5
(5
x 150) = 650 lbs) or 294 kg (635 - 340
x 68) = 294 kg.
(136
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.
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.
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.
