Cargo volume and weights

The bigger dimensions shown above translate to a significantly higher cargo volume of a total of 68 cu ft (1,925 liters), compared to 15 cu ft (425 liters) in the case of the Model 3.

The Model Y is a heavier car, with a curb weight of 2,003 kg (Long Range All-Wheel Drive versions), compared to 1,847-1,860 kg for corresponding Model 3 versions. That is 149-156 kg more.

Considering the difference between the curb weight and gross weight, the Model Y can take 402 kg of passengers/cargo. It was up to 418 kg in case of the corresponding LR AWD Model 3.

Tesla clearly shows that there is no towing option.
