Owners Manual
Tire chains provide additional traction when driving in snowy or icy conditions. Check local regulations to determine if tire
chains are recommended or required during winter months. See Tire Chains on page 431 for more information.
Your vehicle’s tire pressures will drop in cold ambient temperatures. If the TPMS indicator light appears, inflate the tires before
driving. The tires will lose one PSI for every 10° F (6° C) drop in outside temperature (see Inspecting and Maintaining Tires on
page 429). Proper tire pressures help protect tires from potholes and improve range when properly inflated.
While Driving
Cold weather can increase energy consumption because more power is required for driving, cabin and Battery heating. Follow
these suggestions to reduce energy consumption:
• Use seat heaters to keep warm. Seat heaters use less energy than the cabin heater. Lowering the cabin temperature and
using seat heaters reduces energy consumption (see Operating Climate Controls on page 372).
• Slow down your driving and avoid frequent and rapid acceleration.
Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking can be limited if the Battery is too cold. As you continue to drive, the Battery warms up and regenerative
power increases (see Regenerative Braking on page 291).
NOTE: Limited regenerative braking can be avoided if you allow enough time to precondition your vehicle or if you use
Schedule to precondition Cybertruck before your departure time (see Scheduled Precondition and Charge on page 115).
Cold Battery

A blue snowflake icon appears on your touchscreen when some of the stored energy in the Battery is unavailable
because the Battery is cold. This portion of unavailable energy displays in blue on the Battery meter. Regenerative
braking, acceleration, and charging rates may be limited. The snowflake icon no longer displays when the Battery is
sufficiently warm.
After Driving
Leave Cybertruck plugged in when not in use. This uses the charging system, rather than the Battery itself, to keep the Battery
warm (see High Voltage Battery Information on page 108).
Scheduled Precondition

When parked, use the Controls > Schedule settings, available on both the charging and climate control screens, to set a time
when you want to precondition Cybertruck (see Scheduled Precondition and Charge on page 115). You can also use Schedule
to prevent the charge port latch freezing in place. Your vehicle determines the appropriate time to begin preconditioning so
that cabin and Battery are warm by your planned departure time.
Tesla recommends that you also schedule a charge with your precondition to ensure that your vehicle has sufficient energy for
the trip. When Cybertruck is not plugged in, preconditioning operates but only when the Battery's charge level is above 20%.
Storage
If you leave Cybertruck parked for an extended period of time, plug the vehicle into a charger to prevent normal range loss and
to keep the Battery at an optimal temperature. Your vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any length of time.
When not in use, Cybertruck enters a sleep mode to conserve energy. Reduce the number of times you check your vehicle’s
status on the mobile app, as this automatically wakes up your vehicle and starts normal energy consumption.

Hot Weather Best Practices
To ensure that Cybertruck provides you with the best ownership experience possible in hot ambient conditions, follow these
best practices.
Before Driving
There are several ways to prepare your vehicle for a drive, without having to get into an already hot vehicle:
• Precondition the cabin by moving the direction of air flow from the vents, and turn the seat heaters on or off. In the mobile
app, navigate to Climate to customize the temperature at which you want to cool the cabin.
• Touch Schedule, available on both the Charging and Climate Control screens, to set a time when you want your vehicle to
be ready to drive (see Scheduled Precondition and Charge on page 115).
• Enable Cabin Overheat Protection, which prevents the cabin from getting too warm in hot ambient conditions.
• In the mobile app, navigate to Controls to vent the windows.
NOTE: Tesla recommends activating climate settings at least 30-45 minutes before departure (see Operating Climate Controls
on page 372). Preconditioning times depend on outside temperature and other factors. The mobile app will notify you once
your vehicle has reached the desired preconditioning temperature.
After Driving
Leave Cybertruck plugged in when not in use, especially if using Preconditioning or Cabin Overheat Protection. This uses the
charging system, rather than the battery itself, to maintain a comfortable temperature (see High Voltage Battery Information
on page 108). In addition, there are several ways to minimize a hot cabin:
• Before leaving your vehicle (to run errands, for example), use Dog Mode to keep the cabin cool for pets or perishable
goods. See Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp on page 375 for more information.
• Tesla recommends turning the air conditioning off approximately 30 seconds before pressing Park to reduce puddling
below the vehicle.
• Park in the shade to help reduce power consumption and maintain cooler cabin temperatures.
• Use a sun shade if you have to park outside in the sun.
• When parked, plug in Cybertruck and Schedule your charging. Your vehicle determines the appropriate time to begin
charging so it is complete during off-peak hours. The cabin and Battery are also prepared by your set departure time. For
more information, see Scheduled Precondition and Charge on page 115.
Charging
When using Trip Planner or navigating to a Supercharger station, your vehicle automatically prepares the Battery for most
efficient charging. In extreme heat, you may not see the message that the vehicle is preconditioning the Battery while
navigating to a Supercharger, but it is still preparing the Battery for charging.
NOTE: Tesla recommends using Trip Planner to navigate to a charging location for at least 30-45 minutes before arrival to
ensure optimal Battery temperature and charging conditions. If the drive to the charging location is less than 30-45 minutes,
consider preconditioning the Battery before driving (see Before Driving on page 92).
If possible, leave your vehicle plugged into a charger whenever not in use, even in warm weather, especially if using
Preconditioning or Cabin Overheat Protection.
Storage
If you leave Cybertruck parked for an extended period of time, plug the vehicle into a charger to prevent normal range loss and
to keep the Battery at an optimal temperature. Your vehicle is safe to stay plugged in for any length of time.
When not in use, Cybertruck enters a sleep mode to conserve energy. Reduce the number of times you check your vehicle’s
status on the mobile app, as this automatically wakes up your vehicle and starts normal energy consumption.

takes to charge. In some circumstances (such as cold weather), it is normal for the motor(s) and components to make noise
as it generates heat to warm the Battery (see Charging on page 92).
• View how busy a Supercharger location typically is during different times of the day, along with corresponding charging
fees and idle fees (see Supercharger Fees on page 404).
Predicting Energy Usage
When navigating to a destination, Cybertruck helps you anticipate your charging needs by calculating the amount of energy
that remains when you reach your destination. When navigating, the map displays this calculation next to the Battery icon on
the turn-by-turn direction list (see Navigating to a Destination on page 96). When the turn-by-turn direction list is
compressed, touch the top of the list to expand it.
The calculation that predicts how much energy you will use is an estimate based on driving style (predicted speed, etc.) and
environmental factors (wind speed and direction, ambient and forecasted temperatures, air density and humidity, etc.). As you
drive, Cybertruck continuously learns how much energy it uses, improving accuracy over time. Cybertruck predicts energy
usage based on the driving style of the individual vehicle. For example, if you drive aggressively for a period of time, future
range predictions will assume higher consumption. Some factors that contribute to predicted energy (such as forecasted
temperatures and wind speed) are available only when Cybertruck has internet connectivity.
NOTE: If you purchase a used Tesla vehicle, it is recommended that you perform a factory reset (Controls > Service > Factory
Reset) to ensure the predicted energy is as accurate as possible.
Throughout your route, Cybertruck monitors energy usage and updates the estimate of energy remaining at the end of your
trip. A popup warning displays on the turn-by-turn direction list in these situations:
• A yellow warning displays when you have very little energy remaining to reach your destination, requiring you to drive
slowly to conserve energy. For tips on conserving energy, see Getting Maximum Range on page 117.
• A red warning displays when you must charge to reach your destination.
To determine if you have enough energy for a round trip, touch the Battery icon on the turn-by-turn direction list to display an
estimated calculation of your round trip energy usage.
Online Routing
Cybertruck detects real-time traffic conditions and automatically adjusts the estimated driving and arrival times. In situations
where traffic conditions may delay your estimated time of arrival and an alternate route is available, the navigation system can
reroute you to your destination. To decline the alternate route, tap the reroute notification on your touchscreen. You can also
specify the minimum number of minutes that must be saved before you are rerouted. Turn this feature on or off by touching
Controls > Navigation > Online Routing.

Owners Manual
Trip Planner
Trip Planner (if available in your region) helps you take longer road trips with confidence. If reaching your destination requires
charging, Trip Planner routes you through the appropriate Supercharger locations. Trip Planner selects a route and provides
charging times to minimize the amount of time you spend driving and charging. To enable Trip Planner, touch the map's
settings icon (see Navigation Settings on page 96), then touch Trip Planner.
When Trip Planner is enabled and charging is required to reach your destination, the turn-by-turn direction list includes
Supercharger stops, recommended charging times at each Supercharger, and an estimate of how much energy will be
available when you arrive at the Supercharger location.
To remove Supercharger stops and display directions only, touch Remove all charging stops at the bottom of the turn-by-turn
direction list. If you remove charging stops, the turn-by-turn direction list may display an alert indicating that charging is
needed to reach your destination. To add Supercharger stops back to the turn-by-turn direction list, touch Add charging
stops.
While charging at a Supercharger, the charging screen displays the remaining charging time needed to drive to your next
Supercharger stop or destination (if no further charging is needed). If you charge for a shorter or longer length of time,
charging time at subsequent Supercharger stops is adjusted accordingly. You can also use the mobile app to monitor
remaining charging time needed.
NOTE: When navigating to a Supercharger or, in some regions, a third-party fast charger using Trip Planner, Cybertruck may
allocate some energy to pre-heat the Battery to arrive at the Supercharger or third-party fast charger with an optimal Battery
temperature. This reduces charging time (see Charging on page 92).
If Trip Planner estimates that you won't have enough energy for your round trip, and there are no Superchargers available on
your route, Trip Planner displays an alert at the top of the turn-by-turn direction list notifying you that charging is needed to
reach your destination.
NOTE: If a Supercharger on your navigation route experiences an outage, Trip Planner displays a notification and attempts to
reroute you to a different Supercharger location.
Map Updates
As updated maps become available, they are automatically sent to Cybertruck over Wi-Fi. To ensure you receive them,

To Do This...

Boombox

If Cybertruck is equipped with a Pedestrian Warning System, delight pedestrians with a variety of sounds
from your vehicle's external speaker while in Park. See Boombox on page 106 for more details.
NOTE: Check local laws before using Boombox in public areas.

Emissions

Fun can come in surprising ways. Select your preferred fart style and target seat. Use your turn signal or
press the left scroll wheel when you’re ready to “release” your prank. For those lucky vehicles equipped
with a Pedestrian Warning System, you can choose to broadcast externally when your vehicle is parked.
But wait-- the fun doesn't stop there! Use the mobile app to conduct remote emissions testing by touching
and holding any of the four quick control buttons and selecting the fart button.

Light Show

Park outside, turn the volume up, roll down your windows, then enjoy the show. Schedule the light show for
a future time and customize the song to surprise your loved ones.
NOTE: Light show should not be used when parked on or near public roads. Doing so can be distracting to
other road users. Before activating, it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure the use of light show complies
with local laws and regulations.
