Tesla Model S: Vehicle Labeling
It is important to understand your vehicle's original tire
sizes and pressures, and the GVWR (Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating) and GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating).
This information can be found on two labels attached to
Model S.

- Tire and Loading Information Label
- Vehicle Certification Label
WARNING: Overloading Model S has an adverse
effect on braking and handling, which can
compromise your safety or cause damage.
CAUTION: Never store large amounts of liquid in
Model S. A significant spill can cause electrical
components to malfunction.
Tire and Loading Information Label
The Tire and Loading Information label provides:
- The maximum number of occupant seating positions.
- The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
- The size of the original tires.
- The cold inflation pressures for the original front and
rear tires. These pressures are recommended to
optimize ride and handling characteristics.

Never change this label, even if you use different tires in
the future.
NOTE: If Model S is loaded to its full capacity, double
check all tires to ensure they are inflated to their
recommended pressure levels.
