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.

- The maximum number of occupant seating positions.
- The maximum vehicle capacity weight.
