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 497.
• 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
497.
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 498.
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.
To Activate Launch Mode

1. Ensure the brakes are slightly warm by driving for a few minutes and using the brakes a few times.
2. Set the air suspension to Low (see Air Suspension on page 470Air Suspension on page 473Air Suspension on page 475).
3. Set the air suspension to Low or Very Low (see Air Suspension on page 470Air Suspension on page 473Air Suspension on
page 475).
4. Set the acceleration level to Insane+ or Ludicrous+ (if equipped).
NOTE: If equipped with the Ludicrous+ setting, you can achieve optimum performance by pressing and holding this setting
for three seconds.
5. With CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y shifted into Drive and at a complete stop with the steering wheel
straight, firmly hold the brake pedal with your left foot, then fully press the accelerator pedal. Within one second, the
instrument panel displays a message indicating that Launch Mode is enabled.
NOTE: Launch mode further lowers the front suspension, significantly reducing ground clearance.
6. Within twelve seconds of Launch Mode being enabled, release the brake pedal to launch the vehicle.
When you release the brake, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y launches forward.
NOTE: Launch Mode is not available if Traction Control has been disabledSlip Start has been enabled (which allows the wheels

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
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.
In addition, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y features Drag Strip Mode. Using Drag Strip Mode to precondition
your CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is useful before a short distance race.
Drag Strip Mode
Drag Strip Mode preconditions the Battery and drive unit to ideal operating temperatures for timed acceleration.
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y stays in Drag Strip Mode for three hours, even if you leave the vehicle. After
three hours, the feature times out to prevent unnecessary energy consumption (for example, you leave the vehicle and forget
to cancel Drag Strip Mode).
When using Drag Strip Mode, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y consumes more energy to keep the Battery within
an optimal temperature range.
Cancel Drag Strip Mode at any time by toggling Drag Strip Mode off.
NOTE: Drag Strip Mode automatically disables Slip Start when enabled.
WARNING: Drag Strip Mode is designed for use on closed circuit driving courses only. It is the driver’s responsibility to
ensure that driving style and acceleration do not endanger or inconvenience other road users.
How to Launch the Vehicle

The touchscreen provides visual instructions on how to launch:

• 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.
• 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
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 668). 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.

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 re-enable when
Track Mode is turned Off.
Top Speed, Tires, and Tire Pressures
A CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with Tesla Carbon Ceramic brakes is capable of achieving a top
speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).
To support this top speed, Model S must be equipped with the following tires at the recommended pressures:

Goodyear Supercar 3R

Cold - 32 psi*
Hot - 36 psi*
Hot on high load/banked tracks - 40 psi*

Michelin PS4S

Cold - 32 psi*
Hot - 40 psi*

* For both axles at curb loading conditions.
WARNING: Never attempt to drive at 200 mph (322 km/h) unless CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is
equipped with the Tesla Carbon Ceramic brake kit and the appropriate tires described above.
Customizing Track Mode
To customize Track Mode, touch Customize on the Track Mode pane that appears on the map when you enable Track Mode.
You can also access the Track Mode settings by touching Controls > Pedals & Steering, 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 and is similar to driving without
track mode engaged. Choosing -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.
• 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%. When using base brakes, Tesla recommends the 100% setting to prevent
overheating. Overheating is not a concern on a CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with Carbon
Ceramic 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.
• Brake Temperatures (displays only if CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is not equipped with Tesla's Carbon
Ceramic brake kit) - Enable to display brake temperatures as well as warnings associated with the braking system. You may
want to disable in situations in which you have installed an aftermarket high performance braking system.
NOTE: Warnings are automatically disabled on a CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y equipped with the optional
Tesla Carbon Ceramic brake kit.

• 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 668). 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.
The currently chosen setting displays on the touchscreen in the top left corner of the Track Mode pane.
Track Mode allows you to save up to 20 settings profiles. To delete a chosen profile, touch Delete at the bottom of the settings
screen.
NOTE: You can not change or delete a pre-defined profile provided by Tesla.
Using the Lap Timer
When you enable Track Mode, the map displays a Lap Timer. Drop a pin on the map to define the lap's start/finish location.
Then press START to begin the driving (lapping) 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. The Lap Timer
automatically starts timing the duration of the lap, resetting the timer whenever you pass the start/finish location, and
displaying the real-time delta between the current lap and the fastest lap so far in the driving session. The map highlights the
track in blue.
At the completion of each lap, the Lap Timer displays the duration of the lap. It also displays the times associated with the
previous and best laps in the driving session.
If Save Dashcam for Laps is enabled (see Customizing Track Mode on page 507), and a properly formatted USB flash drive is
inserted, Track Mode saves a video of the driving session (as recorded by the front cameras), along with a .CSV file that
provides detailed information about the lap.
NOTE: To stop the timer at the end of your driving session, touch STOP on the Lap Timer.
Monitoring Vehicle Health
You can easily monitor the health of CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y when using Track Mode by glancing at the
touchscreen and the instrument panel.
The touchscreen displays bars that graphically represent the temperatures of the Battery and motors. These bars display with
no color when operating within their ideal temperature range. However, as the Battery or a motor begins to suffer from
reduced performance due to temperature, the associated bar is highlighted in yellow. Then, as the performance becomes more
limited, the color of the bar progresses toward red.
The instrument panel displays dynamic readings of tire pressures and colors a tire's pressure reading red if the tire pressure
becomes low.
If CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is not equipped with Tesla's Carbon Ceramic brake kit, the instrument panel
also displays temperature warnings from the front and rear brakes, using yellow as the brakes reach thermal limits and red
when thermal limits are further exceeded.
NOTE: A component displayed in red may indicate the need for the component to cool significantly before it can perform
adequately.
CAUTION: Any vehicle damage or injuries caused by using Track Mode is the driver's responsibility. The vehicle warranty
does not cover damage caused by excessive overuse of vehicle components. It also does not cover racing, autocross, or
driving in competition.
G-Meter
In Track Mode, a real-time G-Meter displays on the Track Mode pane on the touchscreen. The G-Meter graphically displays
peak lateral and longitudinal acceleration values in the form of a circular meter. The history of your drive is represented in the
shaded area. The G-Meter resets at the start of each driving session.
