Description

Extract is the maximum ride height, designed for use when CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y is stuck on an underbody obstacle. This is only available in certain off-road modes.
When the ride height is set to Extract, vehicle speed is limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), and
torque may be limited. The ride height automatically resets to Very High once your driving
speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).

Very High increases ground clearance and improves approach, breakover, and departure
angles while off-road driving. When the ride height is set to Very High, vehicle speed is
limited to 25 mph (40 km/h). The ride height automatically resets to High when your driving
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h).

High increases ground clearance to suit general off-road driving at both low and high speeds.

Auto Lower
To make it easier to get into CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, enable Auto Lower (Controls > Dynamics > Auto
Lower). Once enabled, your vehicle automatically adjusts to the Entry ride height whenever your vehicle shifts into Park.
The suspension automatically raises back to your preferred ride height when you resume driving.
CAUTION: When Auto Lower is enabled and you are parking CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, ensure that
there are no obstacles underneath the vehicle that may contact the underbody when the suspension lowers.
NOTE: Auto Lower is not available while in Off-Road Mode.
NOTE: You can also make it easier to enter and exit CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y by enabling Easy Entry. When
Easy Entry is enabled, the steering wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel) and driver's seat adjust automatically when the
vehicle is in Park to allow more room for entering or exiting the vehicle (see Easy Entry on page 516).

Self-Leveling
To prevent damage when jacking or lifting the vehicle, you must activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling. For more details,
see Jack Mode on page 798.

Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension, your vehicle saves the suspension setting based on the location. By saving the location,
you do not need to manually raise the suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where you have
previously raised the suspension. When you return to the saved location, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y raises
the suspension and the touchscreen displays a message indicating that the suspension is adjusting.

Owner's Manual

1239

Driving
When returning to a saved location and driving faster than the suspension settings allow, the suspension does not adjust until
the vehicle slows down. For example, if you set the suspension to always raise on a particular street to account for speed
bumps, but you are traveling at more than 25 mph (40 km/h) when you reach that location, the ride height is not raised until
your speed falls below 25 mph (40 km/h).
If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y reaches a saved location and the existing suspension setting is already higher
than the level that has been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted. After leaving a saved location, the
suspension automatically lowers to the preferred ride height. However, it may not lower until your vehicle meets the speed and
distance threshold at which the suspension lowers.
NOTE: CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y may not raise the suspension in a saved location where connectivity is
poor (for example, in an underground parking garage).
To remove an auto-raising location
If no longer want the suspension to automatically raise at a location, touch to deselect Always raise at this location in the popup
that appears when you arrive at a saved location.

Owner's Manual

1247

Off-Roading
CAUTION: The TPMS warning thresholds may be lowered to accommodate different off-road needs. Do not rely solely
on the TPMS warning indicator when in an Off-Road mode or setting, as these thresholds do not comply with Federal
TPMS standards. It is your responsibility to ensure tires are adequately inflated at all times and are inflated back to
normal levels before regular driving on roads.

Before Off-Road Driving
1. Plan your route: Carefully consult maps and weather reports before beginning an off-road expedition and familiarize
yourself with the different types of terrain you may encounter (gravel, sand, mud, snow, etc.). Research trails before setting
out and be aware that weather and environmental conditions can change quickly and unexpectedly. Ensure your vehicle has
ample range for your planned route.
2. Secure passengers and cargo: Wearing a seat belt is required by law. Ensure that all passengers are wearing their seat belts
properly (see Seat Belts on page 1155). Make sure that loose items in the cabin are stowed or secured, and ensure that the
cargo bed is free of cargo, or that cargo is tightly secured. The tonneau cover can be open or closed while driving off road.
3. Evenly distribute vehicle load: While off-road driving, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y performs best when the
weight of passengers and cargo is distributed evenly across the front and rear axles (see Vehicle Loading on page 1431).
Detach large or heavily loaded trailers before driving off road.
4. Lower tire pressure: Lower tire pressure to increase traction on softer surfaces such as sand or gravel, and on rocky
surfaces. Reducing tire pressure allows tires to make more contact with the terrain, increasing grip and decreasing the risk
of punctures.
WARNING: Avoid making hard turns and other sudden maneuvers when tires are inflated under the recommended
cold tire pressure. Before driving on public roads again, make sure to fill all tires to the recommended cold tire
pressure (see Tire Pressures on page 1396).
5. Be prepared: Equip your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y with supplies in case of emergency, such as a spare
tire, a jack, an air compressor, a portable jump starter, and a flashlight.
6. Remove wheel fairings: CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y has pieces of plastic trim that descend in front of the
wheels from the rocker panels on either side of the vehicle. These are the wheel fairings. The wheel fairings increase
aerodynamic performance and range, but may be damaged while driving off-road over rough, uneven surfaces, rocks, or
obstacles. To prevent damage, remove the front wheel fairings before off-road driving. For more information and
instructions for removing the wheel fairings, refer to the Do It Yourself Guide (see Do It Yourself Maintenance on page
836).
7. Remove wheel covers: To prevent damage, remove the wheel covers before driving off-road. For more information, see
Removing and Installing Wheel Covers on page 1402.

While Off-Road Driving
Quickly access off-road settings and vitals from CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y in the vehicle status area on the
touchscreen. You can also keep the Off-Road app open while driving to quickly change settings and preferences based on
your driving situation. See quick stats such as:
• Off-Road Status icons
• Tire Pressures
• Locking Differential status
• Battery and motor temperatures
• Ride Height
NOTE: When the ride height is set to Extract, vehicle speed is limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), and torque may be limited. The
ride height automatically resets to Very High once your driving speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h).

High. All Purpose is best suited for mixed terrain driving.

Sand

Allows for high amounts of tire slip to provide optimal traction on soft, deformable surfaces like sand and sets the
Preferred Ride Height to High.

Gravel/
Deep
Snow

Allows for medium amounts of tire slip to provide optimal traction on gravel or deep snow, and sets the Preferred
Ride Height to High.

Rock

Tightly manages tire slip to maximize grip in rock crawl conditions and sets the Preferred Ride Height to Very
High. When the ride height is Very High, the suspension system pneumatically connects the springs on the front
and rear axles, increasing suspension articulation for maximum traction.

Hold

Applies the brakes automatically when CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y stops, without you having to
put your foot on the brake pedal. Whether stopped on a flat surface or a hill, Vehicle Hold keeps the brake
applied, provided your foot remains off the accelerator and brake pedals.

Stopping
Mode

WARNING: Never rely on Hold to adequately decelerate or fully stop your vehicle. Many factors can
contribute to a longer stopping distance, including downward slopes, and reduced or limited regenerative
braking (see Regenerative Braking on page 1234). Always be prepared to use the brake pedal to
adequately decelerate or stop.
Roll

Allows CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to roll freely when close to, or at, a complete stop, like a
vehicle in Neutral. Therefore, if stopped on a slope, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y will roll
downward. The brake does not engage, and the motors do not apply torque (until the accelerator pedal is
pressed).

Baja
When CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is in Baja, the ride height raises and adaptive damping dynamically adjusts
based on your Terrain selection to optimize performance on various off-road scenarios. The electronic stability control system
also allows more tire slip on low-traction surfaces. This is especially useful in high speed driving situations, such as desert or
sand driving.

Options

Description

Handling Balance

Left

Adjusts the vehicle balance such that Cybertruck behaves more like a front-wheel-drive vehicle. When you
move the slider to the left, Cybertruck is more stable and is more susceptible to understeer (when you turn
the wheel and Cybertruck turns less than normal).

Right

Adjusts the vehicle balance such that Cybertruck behaves more like a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. When you
move the slider to the right, Cybertruck moves with more agility but less stability, and is susceptible to
oversteer (when you turn the wheel and Cybertruck turns more than normal).
