Tesla Model 3 Boot Loading: Where to Find Weight Limits
Model 3 load limits come from the car's own tyre and loading label and certification label. How to plan passengers, luggage and accessories together.
Loading a Tesla Model 3 boot: where to find the weight information
Scope: Model 3 2024+, North America, software 2026.32; load values follow the car's own labels; no universal limit is given
Don't estimate capacity from a model nickname
The official loading page points to the car's own tyre and loading information label and its certification label. The load includes people and cargo; GVWR is the vehicle's gross weight limit and GAWR the axle load limit, and neither can be taken for the other or for the weight of cargo you can load freely. A photo of the label from the same model online can't replace your own car, and the version and actual configuration also need checking. This article suggests checking your car's own information before loading, planning people, luggage and accessories together rather than only weighing what's in the boot. [1]
How to write a loading list
It's worth listing items and estimated weights one by one, confirming unknown weights by actually weighing them or from supplier documents; don't write "doesn't look heavy" as a figure. If you can't get the car's limits or a loading plan, check with a professional service provider and use other transport if needed. If a label is damaged or unreadable, don't fill the gap with figures from another model year. [1]
Limits for safe use
Securing and loading cargo must meet the vehicle's official requirements and must not affect driving, occupant restraint or visibility. If you're unsure how to secure something, hold off setting out; don't use improvised anchor points. This article gives no load, tyre pressure, towing or tightening figures, and gives no remote go-ahead for any loading plan. [1]
