Mode is enabled. In addition, some features may operate differently. For example:
• Autosteer (if equipped) is unavailable. Therefore, for Traffic-Aware Cruise Control availability, touch Controls >
Autopilot > Autopilot Activation > Double Click. This allows you to engage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control with a
single click of the right scroll button on the steering wheel.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the following distance from the car in front of you.
• The air suspension system will not make speed-based adjustments from Medium to Low and does not
automatically raise ride height based on saved locations.
• Side collision warnings are active but automatic steering interventions are disabled.
• The braking force provided by Automatic Emergency Braking (see Collision Avoidance Assist on page 181) is
significantly limited.
NOTE: Trailer brakes are only available when Trailer Mode is engaged.
WARNING: Do not rely on Cybertruck to automatically detect a trailer in all cases. Always check that Trailer
Mode is engaged before towing a trailer.
WARNING: Remaining in Trailer Mode will help ensure Cybertruck remains stable in adverse conditions while
towing. Do not exit Trailer Mode while towing a trailer. Exiting Trailer Mode could result in loss of vehicle
stability.

Trailer Alarm

When enabled, Cybertruck sounds an alarm if the vehicle detects the trailer is being unplugged while Trailer Mode is
active and the vehicle is locked.

Trailer Brakes
Cybertruck is equipped with a trailer brake controller which automatically applies the trailer brakes when you
decelerate. To update your trailer brake preferences, navigate to Controls > Towing & Hauling where you can:
Owner's Manual

140

Towing
• Enable/disable Trailer Mode on page 140.
• Customize Trailer Brake Gain on page 141.
NOTE: Tesla recommends always enabling the trailer brakes, otherwise stopping distance may be increased. To
disable the trailer brakes, first disable Trailer Mode or set the Trailer Brake Gain to 0.
• Choose how to manually apply the trailer brakes (either with the touchscreen or right scroll button). The trailer
brake activation button is unaffected.
• Adjust Trailer Brake Boost on page 141.
• Toggle Adaptive Regenerative Braking on page 141.
• Perform the Trailer Light Test on page 141.
You can also set up a shortcut for Towing & Hauling by adding it to your vehicle "Cards" area, near the bottom of the
touchscreen.
Trailer Brake Gain
The Trailer Brake Gain slider is a scale between 0 and 10 that calibrates the degree of trailer braking applied when
you press the brake pedal normally. 0 applies no trailer brakes, whereas 10 applies the full trailer brakes.
Set this up each time you connect a trailer to ensure your trailer brakes do not lock up:
1. Ensure the trailer is securely attached to the Cybertruck hitch assembly.
2. Drive Cybertruck in a safe, open area at low speeds (10-15mph or 15-25 km/h).
3. Use the right scroll button on the steering wheel or Trailer Brake Activation (set your preference in Towing &
Hauling) to apply the trailer brakes while moving. Adjust the Trailer Brake Gain as needed to ensure the trailer
brakes do not lock up when they are applied. If the wheels do lock up, decrease the amount of gain slightly and
repeat this process.
The ideal Trailer Brake Gain varies depending on your trailer load, number of axles, and surface conditions. You must
adjust as needed while conditions change.
Trailer Brake Boost
Tesla recommends initially setting your Trailer Brake Boost to Low. Once Trailer Brake Gain is calibrated, adjust
based on your preferences by driving around in a safe, open area and applying the brakes as you would in normal
traffic. Increasing will make your brakes react more quickly, although the braking feels more harsh to passengers.
Adaptive Regenerative Braking
At the start of every drive, Cybertruck estimates the load to determine the proper level of regenerative braking.
Regenerative braking will start at the standard level and increase as the vehicle learns your trailer/cargo weight.
NOTE: Weight estimation works best when driving in a straight line on a flat, smooth surface.
WARNING: It is your responsibility to determine when to enable Adaptive Regenerative Braking. Always drive
safely and avoid situations that could require heavy braking.
WARNING: Towing increases your stopping distance. When towing, increase your following distance and avoid
situations that could potentially cause heavy braking. Failure to do so can result in a collision.
WARNING: Observe all regulations and legal requirements in your regional and national jurisdictions that apply
specifically to trailer towing and brake requirements. Many regions require a breakaway switch, located on the
tongue of the trailer, to activate the trailer brakes if the trailer separates from the vehicle. Failure to comply
with regulations can compromise your safety.
Trailer Light Test
Before towing, and periodically during towing, use Trailer Light Test to confirm the trailer lights are working as
expected.
WARNING: Do not tow a trailer if the trailer lights or trailer brakes are not working properly.

Owner's Manual

Towing
Trailer Brake Controller Limitations
WARNING: It is your responsibility to understand your towing needs, proper towing procedures, trailer brakes
(such as their use and limitations), and the risks and limitations of towing. Do not tow with Cybertruck if you
do not have towing knowledge and experience; doing so may result in damage, injury or death. Damage as a
result of improper towing is not covered by the warranty.
Keep in mind the following brake controller limitations:
• Properly maintain and use trailer brakes as intended to prevent damage.
• The trailer brake controller and auxiliary output is 12V.
• Abusive or extensively long manual activations of the trailer brake controller may cause overheating with some
trailer brake loads.
• Maximum power draw - The onboard trailer controller is designed to support most trailer power applications. The
power allocations are:
Standard trailer brakes (when braking power is derived from brake
output, e.g. non-EOH Electric Drum brakes)

Lights: Max. 220 Watts total for all light
outputs combined.
Auxiliary power (AUX 12V+ Charging):
Max. 270 Watts (20 Amps).
Trailer brakes: Max. 331 Watts

Electric over Hydraulic trailer brakes (braking power is derived from
auxiliary power output, e.g. EOH, Hydraulic disk brakes, see Electric
Over Hydraulic (EOH) Brakes on page 142)

Lights: Max. 220 Watts total for all light
outputs combined.
Auxiliary power (AUX 12V+ Charging):
Max. 405 Watts (30 Amps).
Trailer brakes: Max. 48 Watts (Current
draw must be less than 3 Amps).

Cybertruck switches to the standard brakes if a 3A or higher load on the trailer brake connections is detected.

Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) Brakes
Cybertruck supports standard electric brakes and Electric over Hydraulic (EOH) brakes. If using EOH brakes, Tesla
recommends connecting a battery in parallel with the auxiliary power output to the EOH unit.
The auxiliary output is capable of supplying up to 30 Amps when supporting an EOH trailer brake unit. You are
responsible for understanding the power needs of your EOH trailer brake unit. Using an EOH trailer brake controller
that draws more than 30 Amps may result in a loss of power to the trailer brakes while braking.
The usage of only an EOH unit with the auxilary power port is supported for maximum braking availability. A battery
in parallel is recommended. The battery must be in good health and is expected to already be present in most states
per DOT regulations.
CAUTION: Tesla does not recommend using EOH trailer brakes simultaneously with other auxiliary power
loads. Doing so could lead to complications or loss of power to the EOH trailer brakes unit.

Towing
Parking with a Trailer

Whenever possible, avoid parking on a grade. However, if parking on a grade is absolutely necessary, place wheel
chocks under the trailer wheels:
1. One person presses and holds the brake pedal.
2. A second person places the wheel chocks under the wheels on the downgrade side of the trailer's tires.
3. When the chocks are in place, slowly release the brake pedal and ensure the chocks hold the weight of the
vehicle and trailer.
NOTE: When testing chocks, ensure that Vehicle Hold (see Vehicle Hold on page 119) is engaged. If Vehicle Hold is
braking Cybertruck, the associated indicator light appears on the touchscreen. To disengage Vehicle Hold, press
and release the brake pedal.
4. Place the vehicle in Park.
WARNING: If parking on a grade is necessary, ensure that all trailer wheels have been securely chocked. Failure
to do so can result in serious damage, injury, or death.

Trailer Sway Mitigation
When trailer sway is detected, your vehicle's electronic stability control system attempts to apply the appropriate
amount of braking to minimize trailer sway. The touchscreen briefly displays the traction control system indicator.
Manually applying the brakes (via right scroll button on the steering wheel or the Trailer Brake setting) when the
system is actively braking to mitigate trailer sway does not cancel this automatic braking. However, it is still your
responsibility to drive carefully and brake when needed, taking into consideration possible trailer sway.

Accessing the Trailer Hitch Assembly
The Cybertruck trailer hitch assembly is located behind the rear fascia of the vehicle, under the tailgate. Your vehicle
is not equipped with a ball mount, which must be purchased separately based on your towing needs.

143

Owner's Manual

Towing
The trailer hitch cover is attached to the body of the vehicle with three turn clips. Use a flat trim tool or non-marring
screwdriver to partially turn and unlock the clips, then remove the trailer hitch cover and place it in a secure, dry
place. Once removed, you can see where the ball mount can be installed.

When not actively towing, keep the cover installed to prevent dirt and debris from entering.
NOTE: The maximum permissible rear overhang for the coupling point is 49 in (1.25 m), measuring from the center of
the rear tire toward the hitch receiver.
NOTE: Always attach safety chains when towing. See your vehicle Owner's Manual for more information.

Ball Mount Specifications
A ball mount must be purchased separately based on your towing needs. The Cybertruck hitch receiver supports a 2
in (5 cm) ball mount. Follow the ball mount manufacturer's instructions for more information.

NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer's instructions to properly maintain the ball mount.

Electrical Connections
Cybertruck is equipped with a combination electrical outlet, located near the hitch assembly, that supports two
types of commonly-used trailer plugs without needing an adapter:
• 7-PIN - SAE J2863 - for heavier trailer loads requiring their own braking system.
• 4-PIN - SAE J1239 - for light trailer loads requiring lights only.

Owner's Manual

144

Towing
Regulations require that all trailers, at a minimum, are equipped with taillights and turn signals. These are provided
on the 4-pin connector, which is adequate when pulling a light load. For heavier loads, the trailer must also be
equipped with brakes, available on the 7-pin connector.
Plugging a trailer's wiring into either electrical outlet automatically engages Trailer Mode (see Trailer Mode on page
140).
NOTE: Use one outlet only according to your trailering needs. The covers prevent you from opening both outlets
simultaneously.

Owner's Manual

Towing
Loss of trailer lights when towing may be the result of a fault in the trailer wiring or excessive power consumption by
the lights connected to the trailer output(s). When this occurs, the touchscreen displays a red Trailer Mode icon. Fix
any issues with the wiring and/or reduce the number of lights connected to the trailer output(s), then turn Trailer
Mode off and on to try again.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the trailer's electrical cable does not contact or drag on the ground and there is
enough slack in the cable to allow for turns.
WARNING: Before towing, it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that all electrical connections are working,
all trailer lights are operating as expected, and the braking system is fully functioning. Cybertruck does not
detect faulty electrical connections. You must perform manual checks. Failure to do so can result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING: Use only the electrical connection designed by Tesla. Do not attempt to directly splice or attempt
to connect trailer electrical wiring using any other method. Doing so can damage the vehicle electrical system
and cause malfunctions.

Impact on Range
Towing a trailer and carrying accessories increases vehicle weight and drag. As a result, driving range can decrease
significantly. Although Trip Planner attempts to adjust estimates based on Trailer Mode, actual energy consumption
may vary. Plan trip length and charging destinations accordingly.

Carrying Accessories and Crossbars
WARNING: Tesla assumes no responsibility for damage or injuries resulting from installing and using a carrier
or crossbars, for any omissions in the instructions accompanying a carrier or crossbar, or for your failure to
follow the instructions. Damage caused by using a carrier or crossbars is not covered by the warranty.

Carrying Accessories
CAUTION: The hitch assembly is designed to support vertical loads up to 160 lb (72 kg). Exceeding this
maximum weight can cause damage.
The hitch receiver is designed to support vertical loads up to 160 lb (72 kg). When carrying bicycles, skis, or other
items on the Cybertruck's hitch, always check to ensure that the maximum weight is not exceeded. When the carrier
weighs 40 lbs (18 kg), the weigh threshold is sufficient for carrying two bicycles weighing approximately 60 lb (27
kg) each, or four items weighing approximately 30 lbs (14 kg) each.
CAUTION: An accessory carrier attached to the rear of Cybertruck may obscure your view from the rear view
mirror and the rear camera.
Follow the instructions provided with your accessory carrier to install onto Cybertruck. Observe all regulations and
legal requirements in your state/region that apply to carrying accessories.
Cybertruck includes the wiring necessary for using an accessory carrier equipped with lights (see Electrical
Connections on page 144). Cybertruck also includes Trailer Mode software (see Trailer Mode on page 140).
When you connect an accessory carrier's wiring harness, Cybertruck detects a connection for trailer
lights and displays this indicator on the touchscreen to indicate that Trailer Mode is disabled.

When carrying accessories, periodically confirm that the accessory carrier and its cargo remain secure at all times,
and if applicable, that the lights on the accessory carrier are working.

Installing Brackets onto the Appliques
1. Open all 8 applique doors.

About Autopilot
Autopilot is a suite of advanced driver assistance features that are intended to make driving safer and less stressful.
None of these features make Cybertruck fully autonomous or replace you as the driver. Autopilot features come
standard with all new Tesla vehicles.
Basic Autopilot includes Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Maintains your speed and an adjustable following distance from the vehicle in front
of you, if there is one (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 156).
• Autosteer: Maintains your speed and distance from a leading vehicle while also intelligently keeping Cybertruck in
its lane (see Autosteer on page 156).
WARNING: Basic Autopilot is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times and be
mindful of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists). Always
be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury,
or death.
Enhanced Autopilot includes additional features. Enhanced Autopilot Features are designed to further reduce driver
workload and make common actions, such as changing lanes or parking, easier.
• Auto Lane Change: Moves Cybertruck into an adjacent lane when you engage the turn signal and Autosteer is
active (see Auto Lane Change on page 157).
• Navigate on Autopilot: Actively guides Cybertruck from a highway’s on-ramp to off-ramp, including performing
lane changes, navigating interchanges, automatically engaging the turn signal, and taking the correct exit (see
Navigate on Autopilot on page 157).
• Autopark: Parks Cybertruck, either parallel or perpendicularly (see #unique_352 on page ).
• Summon: Moves Cybertruck forward or backward, even while you’re outside the vehicle. This is useful for parking
in tight parking spots (see #unique_353 on page ).
• Smart Summon: Moves Cybertruck out of a parking space and through more complex environments,
maneuvering around obstacles and other vehicles, to meet you or go to a predetermined target (see
#unique_354 on page ).
WARNING: Enhanced Autopilot is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times and
be mindful of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and cyclists).
Always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to follow these instructions could cause damage, serious
injury or death.
Full Self-Driving Capability includes:
• Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control: Maintains your speed, keeps a following distance, and keeps Cybertruck in its
lane while also slowing down and stopping for traffic lights and stop signs (see Traffic Light and Stop Sign
Control on page 165).
• Autosteer on City Streets (Full Self-Driving (Supervised)): Attempts to drive to your destination by following
curves in the road; stopping at and negotiating intersections, stop signs, and roundabouts; making left and right
turns; and entering/exiting highways (see #unique_356 on page ).
WARNING: Full Self-Driving Capability is a hands-on feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all
times and be mindful of road conditions, surrounding traffic, and other road users (such as pedestrians and
cyclists). Pay attention to the road at all times and always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to
follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death.
Autopilot uses the cameras on Cybertruck, which monitor the surrounding area and detect other vehicles,
pedestrians, road markings, and obstacles such as barriers and curbs. There are cameras mounted on the front, rear,
left, and right sides of Cybertruck (see Cameras on page 28).
When Autopilot is engaged, Cybertruck shows a series of escalating warnings reminding you to keep your hands on
the wheel and pay attention to the road. If there is no response, Autopilot disengages and is unavailable for the
remainder of the drive.

Autopilot
Feature

Available When
• Headlights are set to On or Auto. Although Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is available both
during the day and in low light conditions (dusk or dark), it aborts or is unavailable if
headlights are set to Off. When Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is engaged, Auto High Beam is
automatically enabled (see Headlights on page 111) and the wiper is set to Auto.

Autopilot Features
This topic describes how to enable and use the following driver assistance features.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Like traditional cruise control, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control maintains a set driving
speed. However, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control also slows down or accelerates Cybertruck as needed to maintain
the following distance from the vehicle in front of you. While Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is engaged, you are still
responsible for steering Cybertruck (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on page 156).
• Autosteer: Like Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, Autosteer maintains a set speed (if there is not a vehicle in front of
you) or a set following distance (if there is a vehicle in front of you). In addition, Autosteer detects lane markings,
road edges, and the presence of vehicles and objects to intelligently keep Cybertruck in its driving lane (see
Autosteer on page 156).
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
• Auto Lane Change: When you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, Auto Lane Change moves
Cybertruck into the adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal (see Auto Lane Change on page
157).
• Navigate on Autopilot: Navigate on Autopilot builds on the features of Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and
Autosteer. While Autosteer is active, Navigate on Autopilot allows Cybertruck to suggest and, if configured,
automatically change lanes to pass other vehicles and follow the navigation route (see Navigate on Autopilot on
page 157).
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer use information from the cameras on Cybertruck to detect lane
markings, road edges, and other vehicles and road users around Cybertruck.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot
features (see Cleaning a Camera on page 31). Dirty cameras as well as environmental conditions such as rain
and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance. If a camera is obstructed or blinded, Cybertruck
displays a message on the touchscreen and Autopilot features may not be available. For more information on
specific alerts, see Troubleshooting Alerts on page 296.

Owner's Manual

156

Autopilot
When Autosteer is able to detect lane markings, it displays the edges of the driving lane in blue on the touchscreen.
Whenever Autosteer is active, Traffic-Aware Cruise Control is active as well.
In situations where the speed limit cannot be detected when Autosteer is engaged, Autosteer reduces your driving
speed and limits the set cruising speed to 45 mph (70 km/h). Although you can manually accelerate to exceed the
limited speed, Cybertruck will not brake for detected obstacles as long as you are applying the accelerator pedal.
Autosteer slows down to the limited speed when you release the accelerator pedal. When you leave the road or
disengage Autosteer by using the steering wheel, you can increase your set speed again, if desired.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on assistance feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, be
mindful of road conditions and surrounding traffic, and always be prepared to take immediate action. Failure to
follow these instructions could cause damage, serious injury or death. It is your responsibility to familiarize
yourself with the limitations of Autosteer and the situations in which it may not work as expected. For more
information, see Limitations and Warnings on page 171.

Auto Lane Change
If you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, Cybertruck moves into the adjacent lane in the direction
indicated by the turn signal, provided the following conditions are met:
• The turn signal is engaged.
• Lane markings indicate that a lane change is permitted.
• Midway through the lane change, Cybertruck must detect the target lane's outside lane marking. If this lane
marking is not detected, the lane change is aborted and Cybertruck returns to its original driving lane.
• The view of the camera(s) is not obstructed.
• Cybertruck does not detect a vehicle in its blind spot, or a vehicle or obstacle up to the center of the target lane.
If a vehicle or other obstacle is detected in the target lane, it is shown in red in the visualization on the

WARNING: Although Autopilot is designed to detect vehicles and obstacles in adjacent lanes, it is your
responsibility to always perform visual checks to make sure it is safe and appropriate to move into the target
lane. If Autopilot cannot change lanes due to inadequate data, the touchscreen displays a series of warnings.
