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 Y.
Both labels are visible on the door pillar when the front
door is open.
Mexico:
NOTE: If your Model Y is fitted with Tesla accessory
wheels or tires, your Model Y may include an additional
label indicating that values may differ from what is
stated on the label.
Never change this label, even if you use different tires in
the future.
NOTE: If Model Y is loaded to its full capacity, double
check all tires to ensure they are inflated to their
recommended pressure levels.
WARNING: Tire pressures printed on the Tire and
Loading Information label DO NOT APPLY to
towing. When towing, tire pressures must be
increased. For information about the tire pressures
required when towing, see Towing and Accessories
on page 79.
