Curb weights sourced from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications database and recorded per body style, with fluids and a full fuel tank but no occupants or cargo.

How the figure moved since 2015

The lightest 2015 record is 4,420 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 4,969 lbs — 549 lbs heavier (12.4%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 4,969 lbs against 4,936 lbs in 2015, a 33 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

Against the rest of the large cars class

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Model S is 16 of 23 in Large Cars, 405 lbs above the 4,564 lbs median and lighter than 7 of its peers.

Where the mass sits: 51/49

NHTSA records a 51/49 distribution, so the 4,969 lbs splits to roughly 2,534 lbs on the front axle and 2,435 lbs on the rear.

The two axles are not the same width either: 65.4 in of track at the front against 66.9 in at the rear, 1.6 in narrower in front.

Weights, track and weight distribution from the NHTSA Canadian Vehicle Specifications; powertrain list and MPG from fueleconomy.gov (US DOE).
