Hill Start Assist
Hill Start Assist automatically engages the brakes for approximately one second when on a hill. This prevents
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y from rolling during the time it takes for you to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal. Hill Start Assist engages the brakes only if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is in
Drive and facing uphill, or in Reverse and facing downhill.
WARNING: After approximately one second, Hill Start Assist no longer brakes your vehicle and it could roll. Therefore,
quickly move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Never rely on Hill Start Assist to prevent
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y from rolling for more than one second. Failure to do so can result in a
collision.

Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels. If CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y experiences a loss of traction, the system minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power. By
default, the traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on to ensure maximum safety.
This yellow indicator flashes on the instrument paneltouchscreen whenever the traction control system is
actively controlling brake pressure and motor power to minimize wheel spin. If the indicator stays on, a fault is
detected with the traction control system. Contact TeslaeBay logo Service.

WARNING: If the above indicator remains illuminated in situations in which you have not disabled the traction control
system (described next), the traction control system may not be operating correctly. Contact TeslaeBay logo Service immediately.
WARNING: Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high
speeds.
Disabling Traction Control

Under normal conditions, the traction control system should remain enabled. Disable it only in circumstances where you
deliberately want the wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
To allow the wheels to spin, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Dynamics > Slip Start.
The instrument paneltouchscreen displays an alert message when traction control is turned off.

Although the traction control system automatically reactivates the next time you start CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y, it is strongly recommended that you enable it immediately after the circumstances that required you to disable it
have passed.
NOTE: Traction Control can not be disabled when you are actively using cruise control.
Allowing Wheel Slip

To allow the wheels to spin at a limited speed, you can enable Slip Start. Slip Start can be enabled only when
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is moving 30 mph (48 km/h) or slower. Slip Start automatically disables when the
speed exceeds 50 mph (80 km/h).Slip Start can be enabled at any speed, however it is less effective at higher speeds.
Under normal conditions, Slip Start should not be enabled. Enable it only in circumstances where you deliberately want the
wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
To allow the wheels to spin, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Dynamics > Slip Start.

The instrument paneltouchscreen displays an alert message when Slip Start is enabled.

Although Slip Start is automatically disabled the next time you start CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, it is strongly
recommended that you disable it immediately after the circumstances that required you to enable it have passed.
NOTE: Slip Start can not be enabled when you are actively using cruise control.
Disabling Traction Control
Under normal conditions, the traction control system should remain on. Turn it off only in circumstances where you
deliberately want the wheels to spin, such as:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking out of a hole or deep rut.
• Driving off-road.
On Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles, turn off traction control and allow the wheels to spin by touching Controls > Dynamics > Slip
Start.
On All-Wheel Drive vehicles, you can choose one of these options, depending on the circumstances:
• Slip Start is designed to make it easier to dislodge Model Y when stuck in mud, snow, ice, etc. Turning on Slip Start allows
the wheels to spin, making it possible to rock Model Y out of a situation in which the wheels are stuck.
• Off-Road Assist is designed to provide overall improvements when driving off-road. In addition to allowing the wheels to
spin, Off-Road Assist balances the torque between the front and rear motors to optimize traction. Off-Road Assist
improves traction on rough and soft surfaces where one side of the vehicle may lose traction while the other side still has
traction. When Off-Road Assist is on, the accelerator pedal provides more gradual torque, which is useful for crawling at
low speeds (for example, over rocky surfaces). When enabled, OFF-ROAD displays on the touchscreen above the driving
speed.
After the circumstances that required you to turn on Slip Start or Off-Road Assist have passed, it is strongly recommended
that you turn the setting off to re-enable traction control. If you leave these settings on, Traction Control automatically reenables on your next drive.
When you turn on Slip Start or Off-Road Assist, the touchscreen displays an indicator light to indicate that the
traction control system is no longer preventing wheel slip.

NOTE: Although you can use Slip Start and Off-Road Assist at any speed, it is less effective at higher speeds.
NOTE: Slip Start and Off-Road Assist are not available when you are actively using Autopilot.
NOTE: Engaging cruise control when Slip Start or Off-Road Assist is on causes the feature to turn off and traction control to
be re-enabled.
NOTE: Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Avoidance do not operate when Off-Road Assist is turned on.

Acceleration Modes
Touch Controls > Dynamics > Acceleration to adjust the amount of acceleration you experience when driving
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y:

• Standard: (Non-Performance vehicles)(Non-Performance vehicles) Provides the normal level of acceleration.
NOTE: If equipped with the Acceleration Upgrade package, the modes of acceleration are Chill and Sport.
NOTE: If equipped with the Acceleration Upgrade package, the modes of acceleration are Chill and Sport.
• Sport: (Performance vehicles/Acceleration Upgrade package) Provides the normal level of acceleration.
• Sport: (Performance vehicles/Acceleration Upgrade package) Provides the normal level of acceleration.
• Insane: (Performance vehicles) Provides the maximum level of acceleration immediately available.
NOTE: Using the increased torque and power available in Insane can reduce range and efficiency.
NOTE: Insane strives to keep the Battery within an optimal temperature range. In addition to heating the Battery, these
settings also cool the Battery when necessary (for example, while driving at high speeds, during rapid acceleration, driving
for long periods, etc.).
You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration mode. This allows the heat pump
system to take more heat from the Battery to efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to provide
peak acceleration performance. This helps to maximize driving efficiency in colder weather. Note that when subsequently
increasing the acceleration mode, the Battery requires time to warm up before the increased level of acceleration is available.

Acceleration Modes
The acceleration settings available on your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y vary depending on date of
manufacture and options chosen at time of purchase:
• Chill: limits acceleration for a smooth and gentle ride (available on all vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware).
• Standard: provides the normal level of acceleration (available on non-Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles and Rear
Wheel Drive Model S vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware).
• Sport: provides the normal level of acceleration (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles).
• Insane: increases peak torque by approximately 30 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles not
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
• Ludicrous: increases peak torque by approximately 60 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade).
• Insane+: increases peak torque by approximately 30 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles not
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade) while also heating up the Battery to its ideal operating temperature to ensure access
to 100% of available power. Before choosing this setting, read about Using Insane+ or Ludicrous+ on page 499.
• Ludicrous+: increases peak torque by approximately 60 percent (available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles
equipped with the Ludicrous upgrade) while also immediately heating up the Battery to its ideal operating temperature to
ensure access to 100% of available power. Before choosing this setting, read about Using Insane+ or Ludicrous+ on page
499.
NOTE: Although Chill does not directly improve driving range, using the increased torque and power available in Insane or
Ludicrous mode can reduce range and efficiency.
NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the instrument paneltouchscreen above the driving speed.
In addition, a Performance All-Wheel Drive CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y also features Launch Mode to provide
optimum acceleration on surfaces with good traction. For the specific driving instructions required to use Launch Mode, see
Launch Mode on page 500.
To choose an acceleration mode, touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Acceleration.
Using Insane+ or Ludicrous+
If you choose Insane or Ludicrous, additional power is available immediately. However, to achieve the absolute maximum
power (designed for short term use), you can choose Insane+ or Ludicrous+ to heat the Battery to its ideal operating
temperature. This ensure access to 100% of available power.
While the battery is being heated, the touchscreen displays a status message providing you with an approximate wait time,
and letting you know when the additional power is available. In addition to heating the Battery, Insane+ and Ludicrous+ modes
strive to keep the Battery within an optimal temperature range. Therefore, under aggressive driving scenarios, you may also
see the “Cooling” status for several minutes until temperatures fall. CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y stays in the
chosen mode for three hours, even if you leave the vehicle. After three hours, the feature times out.
NOTE: Insane+ and Ludicrous+ are designed to achieve maximum performance for short term acceleration. These settings are
not intended for daily driving. The tradeoff for the additional power boost is extra energy consumption and earlier power fade
on long drives. The Insane or Ludicrous acceleration settings provide a significant increase in performance even without
choosing the Insane+ or Ludicrous+ setting to achieve maximum Battery power. In fact, in normal driving situations, the
additional power that can be achieved using Insane+ and Ludicrous+ may be unnoticeable.
NOTE: To support Insane+ or Ludicrous+, the charge level must be 20% or higher. You cannot initiate these settings if the
charge level is less than 20%. In addition, these settings immediately cancel if at any time during use, the charge level drops
below 20%.
When using Insane+ or Ludicrous+, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y consumes more energy to keep the Battery
within an optimal temperature range.
To cancel Insane+ or Ludicrous+ at any time, change the acceleration level to another setting. To prevent excess and
potentially unnecessary energy consumption (for example, you leave the vehicle and forget to cancel Insane+ or Ludicrous+),
these settings cancel automatically in three hours, regardless of whether you are still driving or have left the vehicle.

NOTE: Insane+ or Ludicrous+ strives to keep the Battery within an optimal temperature range. In addition to heating the
Battery, these settings also cool the battery when necessary (for example, while driving at high speeds, during rapid
acceleration, driving for long periods, etc.).
Launch Mode
Launch Mode, available on Performance All-Wheel Drive vehicles only, provides optimum acceleration on surfaces with good
traction.
NOTE: Hard acceleration including, but not limited to, using launch mode, increases stress on the vehicle’s powertrain, and can
cause premature wear and aging of various components. CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y constantly monitors
powertrain fatigue and damage, and notifies you if vehicle components need to be serviced.
WARNING: Use Launch Mode only in appropriate locations where there is no cross traffic or pedestrians present. Launch
Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses. It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that driving style
and acceleration do not endanger or inconvenience other road users.

Acceleration Modes
Touch Controls > Pedals & Steering > Acceleration to choose a preferred acceleration mode:
• Chill limits acceleration for a slightly smoother and gentler ride.
NOTE: When Chill is selected, Chill displays on the instrument panel, above the driving speed.
• Sport provides the normal level of acceleration.
• Insane (called Plaid on performance vehicles, if equipped) provides the maximum level of acceleration immediately
available.
NOTE: Using the increased torque and power available in Insane or Plaid mode can reduce range and efficiency.
NOTE: Insane or Plaid strives to keep the Battery within an optimal temperature range. In addition to heating the Battery,
these settings also cool the Battery when necessary (for example, while driving at high speeds, during rapid acceleration,
driving for long periods, etc.).
NOTE: You can improve the efficiency of the cabin heating by reducing your selected acceleration mode. This allows the heat
pump system to take more heat from the Battery to efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to

• Post-Drive Cooling - Enable if you want the cooling systems to continue cooling the vehicle's components even after you
leave the vehicle. Cooling stops automatically when the components are sufficiently cool, or when you power
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y off and back on again. Post-Drive Cooling is useful if you want to quickly cool
the components between driving sessions. If Post-Drive Cooling is set to OFF, the components eventually cool, but it takes
longer.
• Compressor Overclock - Enable if you want to run the cooling compressor beyond its normal operating rate. Doing so
speeds up the cooling process and is useful when performing multiple aggressive driving sessions with very little time in
between
CAUTION: Extensive use of Compressor Overclock can damage or shorten the life of the compressor. Damage
caused by using this feature is not covered by the warranty.
• Save Dashcam for Laps - Enable if you want to save a video and data on a USB flash drive when using the Lap Timer. A USB
flash drive must be set up and inserted as described (see USB Drive Requirements for Recording Videos on page 664). The
USB flash drive must contain a folder named TeslaTrackMode. When enabled, Track Mode stores a video and associated
data for each lap. Track Mode also stores the car status and telemetry data with details about the vehicle's position, speed,
acceleration, use of accelerator, etc. You can then view the video recordings and analyze this data, which is saved as
a .CSV file on the USB flash drive, to determine where time is being lost or gained.
NOTE: For some vehicles manufactured after approximately November 1, 2021, the center console USB ports may only
support charging devices. Use the USB port inside the glove box for all other functions.

G-Meter
In Track Mode, a real-time G-Meter displays on the touchscreen. The G-Meter graphically displays peak lateral, acceleration,
and deceleration values in the form of a circular meter. The history of your drive is represented in the shaded area. The GMeter resets at the start of each driving session.
NOTE: You can swipe the G-Meter card to display a different card. However, the G-Meter displays as the default card
whenever you engage Track Mode.

Track Mode
Track Mode, available only on Performance CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y vehicles, is designed to modify the
stability control, traction control, regenerative braking, and cooling systems to increase performance and handling while
driving on closed circuit courses. Track Mode improves cornering ability by intelligently using the motors, and regenerative
and traditional braking systems. When enabled, the cooling system runs at an increased level before, during, and after
aggressive driving sessions to allow your vehicle’s systems to withstand the surplus heat.
NOTE: Track Mode is designed and calibrated for a Performance CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with
performance brakes and tires. Vehicles without performance brakes and tires may experience comparatively lower
performance and endurance.
WARNING: Track Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive
safely and ensure others are not endangered.
WARNING: Track Mode is designed for use by experienced track drivers familiar with the course. Do not use on public
roads. It is the driver’s responsibility to be in control of the vehicle at all times, including on the track. Because vehicle
behavior (including traction and stability control) differs when using Track Mode, always use caution.
Using Track Mode
Track Mode is always disabled when you start CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y. To enable Track Mode for your
current drive, shift into Park and follow these steps:
1. Touch Controls > Dynamics > Track Mode.
When enabled, TRACK displays on the touchscreen above the driving speed, and a Track Mode pop up window appears on
the map. The car status area of the touchscreen displays a color-coded image of your CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y that provides you with important at-a-glance status information about the Battery, the motors, the tires and the
brakes. See Monitoring Vehicle Health on page 504.
2. If desired, customize the Track Mode settings by touching Track Mode Settings on the Track Mode pop up window (see
Customizing Track Mode on page 503). You can also access the Track Mode settings by touching Controls > Dynamics,
then touching Customize next to the Track Mode setting.
NOTE: For optimum performance, wait for the battery and motor temperatures to reduce if highlighted in yellow or red.
3. If you want to use the Lap Timer, follow the onscreen instructions to drop a pin on the map to define the lap's start/finish
location. You will then need to press START on the Lap Timer to begin your driving session. Once started, the Lap Timer
starts counting when you drive CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y past the lap's start/finish location where you
dropped the pin. See Using the Lap Timer on page 504.
4. Shift and GO!
If you started the Lap Timer, each time you pass the start/finish location, the timer resets for the next lap. See Using the
Lap Timer on page 504.
You can also view a real-time accelerometer (G-meter) by swiping the Cards area of the touchscreen. See G-Meter on
page 505.
When Track Mode is on:
◦ Autopilot features are unavailable.
◦ The Slip Start setting is overridden.
◦ The Regenerative Braking setting is overridden.

Owners Manual
◦ Stopping Mode is set to the Roll setting in which CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is free-rolling at very low
speeds whenever Drive or Reverse is engaged and both the accelerator and brake pedal are released. For details, see
Stopping Mode on page 466.
◦ Stopping Mode is set to the Roll setting in which CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is free-rolling at very low
speeds whenever Drive or Reverse is engaged and both the accelerator and brake pedal are released. For details, see
Stopping Mode on page 467.
◦ Energy usage increases.
◦ Entertainment features are unavailable.
Use the touchscreen setting to turn Track Mode off at any time. Powering off CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
also turns off Track Mode (although it may still appear on the touchscreen if Post-Drive cooling is in progress). When Track
Mode is off, all settings return to their previous state and all features return to their normal operating state.
CAUTION: Driver assistance features are automatically disabled when Track Mode is On. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Driver assistance features automatically reenable when Track Mode is turned Off.
Customizing Track Mode
To customize Track Mode, touch Track Mode Settings on the Track Mode popup window that appears on the map when you
enable Track Mode. You can also access the Track Mode settings by touching Controls > Dynamics, then touching Customize
next to the Track Mode setting. Choose an existing Track Mode setting from the list of pre-defined profiles provided by Tesla.
Or create a new settings profile by touching Add New Settings, entering a name for the settings profile, then adjusting these
settings to suit your preferences or driving scenario, or customize for a specific track:
• Handling Balance - Drag the slider to customize the balance of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y in a turn. If
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is too loose, you can choose a front-biased under-steering setup. Difficult to
get the vehicle through a turn? Try a rear-biased setup to increase rotation. You can select any value, in 5% increments,
between 100/0 (for 100% front biased used for under-steering) and 0/100 (for 100% rear biased used for over-steering).
• Stability Assist - Drag the slider to choose the level at which the stability control systems assist in controlling the vehicle.
You can choose any level from -10 to +10. Choosing +10 engages all stability assist systems for controllable driving in
which stability systems remain engaged, whereas -10 disables all stability systems and the stability of the drive rests solely
on the driver. The default setting of 0 represents a balance which provides some stability being automatically controlled
and leaving some control up to the driver.
• Stability Assist - Drag the slider to choose the level at which the stability control systems assist in controlling the vehicle.
You can choose any level from -10 to +10. Choosing +10 engages all stability assist systems for controllable driving in
which stability systems remain engaged, whereas -10 disables all stability systems and the stability of the drive rests solely
on the driver. The default setting of 0 represents a balance which provides some stability being automatically controlled
and leaving some control up to the driver.
• Stability Assist - Choose the level at which the stability control systems assist in controlling the vehicle. Stability Assist
modifies motor torque and selectively applies the brakes to each wheel to make the vehicle more stable and help the driver
maintain control.
WARNING: Drive with caution when customizing Stability Assist. If you lose control of
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, less stability control intervention will be applied and the vehicle may
not stabilize itself. Use only if you have advance experience driving beyond grip limits.
◦ Reduced: Provides the maximum amount of stability control intervention while in track mode. Stability control is
reduced compared to on-road mode.
◦ Minimal: Provides minimal amount of stability control intervention.
◦ Off: Oversteer support is completely disabled and traction control is limited to allow wheel spin.
• Regenerative Braking - Drag the slider to choose how much regenerative braking is available. You can choose any value, in
5% increments, between 0 and 100%. Tesla recommends the 100% setting to prevent overheating the brakes.
• Post-Drive Cooling - Enable if you want the cooling systems to continue cooling the vehicle's components even after you
leave the vehicle. Cooling stops automatically when the components are sufficiently cool, or when you power
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y off and back on again. Post-Drive Cooling is useful if you want to quickly cool
the components between driving sessions. If Post-Drive Cooling is set to OFF, the components eventually cool, but it takes
longer.

• Compressor Overclock - Enable if you want to run the cooling compressor beyond its normal operating rate. Doing so
speeds up the cooling process and is useful when performing multiple aggressive driving sessions with very little time in
