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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel
3Model Y 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 1261)

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).

CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y switches to the standard brakes if a 3A or higher load on the trailer brake
connections is detected.

Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) Brakes
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 1236) is engaged. If Vehicle Hold is
braking CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y, 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 wheelsteering yoke (or 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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.

1262

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
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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

1263

Towing
Regulations require that all trailers, at a minimum, are equipped with taillights and turn signals. These are provided on the 4pin 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 1259).
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. CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model
Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y may obscure your
view from the rear view mirror and the rear camera.
Follow the instructions provided with your accessory carrier to install onto CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.
Observe all regulations and legal requirements in your state/region that apply to carrying accessories.
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y includes the wiring necessary for using an accessory carrier equipped with lights
(see Electrical Connections on page 1263). CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y also includes Trailer Mode software
(see Trailer Mode on page 1259).
When you connect an accessory carrier's wiring harness, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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.

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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y (see Traffic-Aware Cruise Control on
page 549).
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y in its driving lane
(see Autosteer on page 551).
NOTE: Autosteer is a BETA feature.
• Auto Lane Change: When you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, Auto Lane Change moves
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y into the adjacent lane in the direction indicated by the turn signal (see Auto
Lane Change on page 554).
• 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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y to suggest and, if
configured, automatically change lanes to pass other vehicles and follow the navigation route (see Navigate on Autopilot on
page 556).
NOTE: Navigate on Autopilot is a BETA feature.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer use information from the cameras on CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
to detect lane markings, road edges, and other vehicles and road users around CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y.
CAUTION: Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features
(see Cleaning a Camera on page 780Cleaning a Camera on page 780Cleaning a Camera on page 780Cleaning a Camera
on page 781Cleaning a Camera on page 1139). Dirty cameras and sensors (if equipped), as well as environmental
conditions such as rain and faded lane markings, can affect Autopilot performance. If a camera is obstructed or blinded,
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y displays a message on the instrument clustertouchscreen and Autopilot
features may not be available. For more information on specific alerts, see Troubleshooting Alerts on page
952Troubleshooting Alerts on page 1008.

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,
CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 wheelsteering yoke (or steering wheel), you can increase your set speed again, if
desired.
WARNING: Steering is limited when Autosteer is enabled. Therefore, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y may
not be able to handle tight turns. Be prepared to take control of the vehicle at all times.
WARNING: Autosteer is a hands-on assistance feature. Keep your hands on the steering wheelsteering yoke (or 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 627.

Auto Lane Change
If you engage a turn signal while Autosteer is active, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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, CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y must detect the target lane's outside lane
marking. If this lane marking is not detected, the lane change is aborted and CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y
returns to its original driving lane.
• The view of the camera(s) is not obstructed.
• CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y 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 instrument clustertouchscreen and CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y does not complete the lane change
until it is safe to do so.
