Auto Lower
To make it easier to get into Model SModel X, 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 Model SModel X, 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 Model SModel X by enabling Easy Entry. When Easy Entry is enabled, the
steering wheelsteering yoke 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 182).

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 463.

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, Model SModel X raises the suspension and the
touchscreen displays a message indicating that the suspension is adjusting.
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).

768

Owner's Manual

Driving
If Model SModel X 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: Model SModel X 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

Off-Roading
Off-Road Driving
Off-road driving is driving your vehicle on an unpaved surface such as sand, silt, dirt, or mud, or on rocky or snow-covered
surfaces. When Model SModel X is in Off-Road Mode, you have access to settings and drive modes that allow you to manage
steep ascents, descents, uneven terrain, shallow creeks, and other obstacles you may encounter.
The Off-Road app provides greater control over traction, stability, acceleration, and braking. Various modes and settings also
allow you to quickly adjust the ride height of Model SModel X (see Suspension on page 767).
CAUTION: Carefully read all cautions and warnings before driving Model SModel X off road (see Limitations and
Warnings on page 782). Always pay close attention and monitor the area to the front, rear, and sides of Model SModel X
for obstacles while off-road driving.
CAUTION: Any damage caused by off-road driving is not covered by the warranty.
Off-Road Modes and settings include the following:
• Overland: Maximizes traction on various terrains at low speeds. See Overland on page 777.
• Baja: Optimizes the suspension and traction control of Model SModel X for high speed driving on dirt roads or desert
environments. See Baja on page 777.
• Wade Mode: Raises the suspension and pressurizes the high voltage Battery to protect your vehicle from water and debris
while navigating shallow bodies of water. See Wade Mode on page 778.
• Trail Assist: Allows you to maintain your speed while driving on a trail. See Trail Assist on page 779.
• Locking Differentials: Engage for more traction while off-roading. See Locking Differentials on page 779.

Using the Off-Road App
WARNING: Only use Off-Road mode in off-road driving scenarios. Off-Road modes change how Model SModel X
handles, accelerates, and decelerates, and is not appropriate for public roads.
Use the Off-Road app, located in the app tray, to conveniently customize and monitor your off-road settings.
After carefully reading the pop-up window, touch Confirm.

In the Off-Road app, customize options such as:
• Off-Road Mode: Choose between Overland and Baja and customize your preferences. See Overland on page 777 and Baja
on page 777 for more information.
• Locking Differentials: Engage or disengage locking differentials. See Locking Differentials on page 779.
• Pitch, Roll: These angles determine how capable the vehicle is of climbing over an obstacle or up an incline.
NOTE: If you are approaching a large obstacle or change in incline, you can set the right ride height to Extract by touching
Controls > Ride Height > Extract. When the ride height is set to Extract, Model SModel X has increased approach,
breakover, and departure angles.
• Wade Mode
• Rear Steer: You can set Rear Steer to Off or Auto. Auto allows for a tighter turn radius while driving.
• Light Bar: Enable or disable the light bar, if installed.
• Ride Height: Customize your vehicle's ride height based on terrain and other drive settings. See Suspension on page 767.
NOTE: Model SModel X must be in Park to change the off-road drive modes and settings.
NOTE: Your off-road settings remain for approximately 15 minutes after you exit the vehicle. Always double check to ensure
your off-road settings are as intended prior to driving.

Owner's Manual

775

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 689). 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, Model SModel X performs best when the weight of passengers and
cargo is distributed evenly across the front and rear axles (see Vehicle Loading on page 928). 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 897).
5. Be prepared: Equip your Model SModel X 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: Model SModel X 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 925).
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 904.

While Off-Road Driving
Quickly access off-road settings and vitals from Model SModel X 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).
If your vehicle is covered in mud after off-roading, rinse the entire exterior of the vehicle with water. It is important to regularly
clean Cybertruck after off-roading because mud and debris can quickly build up and limit some vehicle functions. See
#unique_1308 on page for more information.

Owner's Manual

Off-Roading
Off-Road Modes
Overland
Overland maximizes traction on various terrains at low speeds. By selecting Overland, you can customize the following
settings:
Setting

Options

Description

Surface

All Purpose

Automatically adjusts tire slip based on the amount of available traction and sets the Preferred Ride Height to
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 Model SModel X 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 763). Always be prepared to use the brake
pedal to adequately decelerate or stop.
Roll

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

Baja
When Model SModel X 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.
You can customize the following settings:
Setting

Options

Description

Handling Balance

Left

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

Right

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

Standard

Provides the maximum amount of stability control intervention*.

Reduced

Reduces the amount of stability control intervention.

Minimal

Provides a minimal amount of stability control intervention.

Stability Assist

WARNING: Drive with caution when customizing Stability Assist. If you lose control of
Model SModel X, less stability control intervention will be applied and the vehicle may not stabilize
itself. Use only if you have advanced experience driving beyond grip limits.
Terrain

Smooth

Sets ride height to Medium and increases damping for greater body control and responsive handling. Best
for drifting or high-speed driving on smooth or flat terrains (see Suspension on page 767).

Rugged

Sets ride height to High with damping optimized for rough terrain, medium-sized obstacles, and whoops.

Clearance Sets ride height to Very High for traversing large obstacles.

Setting

Options

Deceleration Mode High

Description
Increases the amount of regenerative braking so Model SModel X slows down more dramatically when you
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal, allowing for more dynamic one-pedal driving.
WARNING: Setting the Deceleration Mode to High (located in Dynamics) may cause some loss of
traction on loose surfaces (such as snow).

Standard

Provides the normal level of regenerative braking, allowing Model SModel X to maintain traction on loose,
low-traction surfaces (such as sand, dirt, and gravel).

* Stability control intervention modifies motor torque and selectively applies the brakes to each wheel to make more stable and help the
driver maintain control of the vehicle. In this setting, stability control is reduced compared to on-road driving.

Wade Mode
Wade Mode allows Model SModel X to enter and drive through bodies of water, such as rivers or creeks.
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to gauge the depth of any body of water before entering. Damage or water ingress to
Model SModel X as a result of driving in water is not covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: Always inspect underwater conditions (such as debris, etc.) before entering and use your best judgment.
Take care to drive slowly and safely. If the water is too deep, return to more shallow water or dry land.

1. The maximum wade depth is approximately 32 in. (815 mm) measuring from the bottom of the tire.
Wade Mode must be used any time you are driving Model SModel X through a shallow body of water, such as a river. To enable
Wade Mode:
1. Ensure all doors and windows are fully closed, and your vehicle speed is less than 20 mph (32 km/h).
2. Access the Off-Road App.
3. Select Wade.
