where are you reading that? I'm looking at what I think is the UK Model 3 manual which seems to say "look at the statutory plate and do the maths...433kg according to:
View attachment 985496
This is my plate from a 22 model year (but 21 plated) M3 LR:
as I read it, the top weight is the "TPMLM - Technically Permissible Maximum Laden Mass" which I *think* is the maximum weight of the car, passengers, fluids and cargo. The weight isn't listed in the UK online manual but for some reason, the Chinese manual lists the weight of the LR as 1840kgs. Assuming that's true then the max weight of the passengers and cargo is 2232kgs - 1840kgs which is 392kgs..
I think the second weight is car+trailer, which indicates a 1 ton towing capacity, and 1 and 2 are front and back axle max loading? am I reading this right? If I'm wrong then please let me know...
Wikipedia lists UK average weights as 85.4kg for men and 72.1kg for women so 2 average men and 3 average women would equal 387.1kgs. So that would leave 4.9kgs for 5 suitcases, 3 bikes, coats, shopping, boots etc...
also 2 adults at 68kgs each? who are these olympic gymnasts driving teslas?
