Towing
• Enable/disable Trailer Mode on page 316.
• Customize Trailer Brake Gain on page 317.
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 317.
• Toggle Adaptive Regenerative Braking on page 317.
• Perform the Trailer Light Test on page 317.
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 if 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. This weight estimation
works best when driving in a straight line on a flat, smooth surface.
NOTE: Adaptive regenerative braking does not engage the trailer brakes. In order to engage the trailer brakes, you must press
the brake pedal or enable trailer brakes on the touchscreen.
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.

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 318)

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 292) 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.

319

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 trailer 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

320

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 316).
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 320). Cybertruck also includes Trailer Mode software (see Trailer Mode on page 316).
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.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the remaining applique doors.
NOTE: After installing the brackets once, you can leave them installed for future use, unless you want to move the
crossbars to different locations on the vehicle.

Installing Crossbars
NOTE: Installing the crossbars requires two people.
CAUTION: Crossbars must be installed in tandem. Failure to do so may cause damage.
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to ensure your accessories are secured to the crossbars. Periodically check to ensure
your accessories have not moved or loosened throughout your driving. See the in-box instructions that come with the
crossbars for more information.
CAUTION: If installing a crossbar on the front-most applique doors, make sure that the power feed harness on the
passenger side applique is not pinched during installation. If necessary, use a trim tool to release the applique and
maneuver the harness away from the studs.
To install the crossbars:
1. Locate the FRONT arrow embossed on the bottom of the crossbar. The arrow should point toward the front of the vehicle.

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 331).
• Autosteer: Maintains your speed and distance from a leading vehicle while also intelligently keeping Cybertruck in its lane
(see Autosteer on page 332).
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 333).
• 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 333).
• Autopark: Parks Cybertruck, either parallel or perpendicularly (see #unique_183 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_184 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_185 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 53).
• 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 Full Self-Driving (Supervised) on page 59).
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 200).
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.
WARNING: Autopilot is designed for your driving comfort and convenience and is not a collision warning or avoidance
system. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Never depend on
Autopilot to adequately slow down Cybertruck. Always watch the road in front of you and be prepared to take corrective
action at all times. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.

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 284) 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 331).
• 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 332).
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 333).
• 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 333).
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 203). 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 488.
CAUTION: It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the limitations of Autopilot and the situations in which
driver intervention may be needed. For more information, see Limitations and Warnings on page 65.

Autopilot Settings

To indicate that Autosteer is available (but not actively steering Cybertruck), the top corner of the touchscreen
displays a gray Autosteer icon next to the driving gear. In situations where Autosteer is temporarily unavailable,
the Autosteer icon disappears. (For example, if your driving speed is not within the speed required for
Autosteer to operate.)
To indicate that Autosteer is active, the touchscreen displays the Autosteer icon in blue.

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.

Owner's Manual

332

Autopilot
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: Steering is limited when Autosteer is enabled. Therefore, Cybertruck 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 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 65.

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 touchscreen and
Cybertruck does not complete the lane change until it is safe to do so.
NOTE: Auto Lane Change cancels if the lane change cannot be completed in 5 seconds.
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. Therefore, when using Auto Lane
Change, always pay attention to the touchscreen and be prepared to manually steer Cybertruck.
The minimum speed at which Autopilot changes lanes may vary depending on region, adjacent lane speeds, and other factors.
Always be ready to manually steer and change lanes as necessary. When an automatic lane change is in progress, Overtake
Acceleration is activated, allowing Cybertruck to accelerate closer to a vehicle in front (see Overtake Acceleration on page
340).
When you engage a turn signal, Autopilot moves Cybertruck one lane at a time. Moving into an additional lane requires you to
engage the turn signal a second time after the first lane change is complete.
As Cybertruck changes lanes, it is important to monitor its performance by watching the driving path in front of you and the
surrounding area. Stay prepared to take over steering at any time. As you are crossing over into the adjacent lane, the

To enable Navigate on Autopilot, touch Controls > Autopilot > Navigate on Autopilot (Beta). Then, to customize how you want
Navigate on Autopilot to operate, touch Customize Navigate on Autopilot:
• Enable at Start of Every Trip: Choose whether to automatically enable Navigate on Autopilot for every navigation route.
When enabled, the Navigate on Autopilot button on the turn-by-turn direction list is already enabled at the start of every
trip.
• Speed Based Lane Changes: Navigate on Autopilot is designed to perform both route-based and speed-based lane
changes. Speed-based lanes changes are optional. You can use this setting to disable speed-based lane changes or to
specify how assertively you want Navigate on Autopilot to change lanes to achieve the set cruising speed (Mild, Average, or
Mad Max).

• Exit Passing Lane: Choose whether you want Navigate on Autopilot to maneuver out of a passing lane when navigating to a
destination. In addition to route-based and speed-based lane changes, Navigate on Autopilot requests a lane change out
of a passing lane as a reminder to stay in a slower lane when you are not passing other vehicles. Choose No to disable this
and keep Cybertruck in a passing lane except when needed to stay on the navigation route.
• Require Lane Change Confirmation: By default, Navigate on Autopilot requires your confirmation before proceeding with a
lane change by pressing the appropriate turn signal. If you do not confirm the lane change within 3 seconds, a chime
sounds to remind you that Navigate on Autopilot requires your confirmation to change lanes.
