Overview
Exterior
Interior Overview
NOTE: Illustrations are provided to improve conceptual understanding only. Depending on vehicle options purchased and
market region, the design may differ but the function is the same.

Touchscreen
WARNING: Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions when driving. To minimize driver distraction and ensure
the safety of vehicle occupants as well as other road users, avoid using the touchscreen to adjust settings while the
vehicle is in motion.
Use the touchscreen to control many features that, in traditional cars, are controlled using physical buttons (for example,
adjusting the cabin heating and air conditioning, headlights, etc.). You also use the touchscreen to control media, navigate,
use entertainment features, and customize Cybertruck to suit your preferences. For hands-free access to common
touchscreen controls, use voice commands (see Voice Commands on page 6).
If the touchscreen is unresponsive or demonstrates unusual behavior, you can restart it (see Restarting the Touchscreen on
page 4).
CAUTION: Do not apply a screen protector on the touchscreen. Doing so can result in unintended inputs to the
touchscreen (phantom inputs), delayed response or unresponsiveness to touches, electrostatic discharge which can
damage the touchscreen, etc. Any damage caused by installing a screen protector is not covered by the warranty.
NOTE: Illustrations are provided to improve conceptual understanding only. Depending on vehicle options, software version,
market region and regional and language settings, the details displayed on the screen will differ.
Customizing My Apps
For one-touch access to commonly used apps and controls, you can customize what displays in the My Apps area on the
touchscreen's bottom bar:
1. Enter customization mode by touching and holding any app or control in the My Apps area. If this area is empty, touch the
App Launcher.
2. Drag any app or control from the app tray onto the My Apps area in the bottom bar.
NOTE: Seat heaters selected from the app tray appear next to the temperature, instead of in the My Apps area.
NOTE: When you've added the maximum number of apps or controls to My Apps, adding an additional app removes the
rightmost app.
NOTE: Remove an app or control from the My Apps area by touching and holding, then touching its associated "X".
Top Status Bar Icons

Restarting the Touchscreen
You can restart your touchscreen if it is unresponsive or demonstrates unusual behavior.
1. Shift into Park.
2. Hold down both scroll buttons on the steering wheel until the touchscreen turns black. Pressing the brake pedal while

• Voice Navigation Language: Choose the language that the navigation system uses for spoken instructions.
NOTE: For languages that require a download, select the language in the dropdown list to initiate the download (Wi-Fi
connection required).
• Time: Choose to display time in either 12 or 24 hour format.
• Energy Display: Choose to display remaining energy and charging units as either a percentage of battery energy remaining,
or as an estimate of the distance you can drive.
NOTE: When anticipating when you need to charge, use energy estimate as a general guideline only. Many factors have an
impact on energy consumption. See Factors Affecting Energy Consumption on page 113.
• Distance: Choose to display measurements in metric (kilometers, centimeters, etc.) or imperial (miles, inches, etc.) units.
• Temperature: Choose to display temperature using Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Tire Pressure: Choose to display tire pressures using BAR or PSI.
In addition to customizing the display, you can enable Joe Mode to reduce the volume of all chimes that are not related to
critical safety issues. Touch Controls > Safety > Joe Mode to enable.

For more information on voice commands, go to https://www.tesla.com/support/voice-commands.
NOTE: To support ongoing quality improvements, Tesla captures and processes voice command transcriptions (such as “set
the temperature…”). Audio voice recordings are not collected, and transcriptions are not associated with your Tesla account or
with your vehicle's identification number. To further protect your privacy, voice commands containing personal data are not
captured (such as "Navigate to..." or "Make a call to...").

Cameras
Your Cybertruck includes the following components that actively monitor the surrounding area:
• Ultrasonic sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers.
• A forward looking camera is mounted on the windshield above the rear view mirror.
•
Cybertruck is also equipped with high precision electronically-assisted braking and steering systems.
Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Cybertruck must maneuver with precision when Autopilot features are being used. Therefore, before some features can be
used for the first time or after some types of service repairs, cameras must complete a self-calibration process. For your
convenience, the displays a progress indicator.
When calibration is complete, Autopilot features are available for use. Calibration typically completes after driving 20-25 miles
(32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on road and environmental conditions. For example, calibration completes
quicker when driving on a straight road with multiple lanes (such as a controlled-access highway), with highly-visible lane
markings (in the driving lane as well as the adjacent lanes). Contact Tesla only if your Cybertruck has not completed the
calibration process after driving 100 miles (160 km) in the described conditions.
If a camera has shifted from its calibrated position (for example, the camera or windshield was replaced), you must clear the
calibration. To do so, touch Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear Calibration. When the calibration is cleared,
Cybertruck repeats the calibration process. While this helps re-calibrate the cameras in many cases, Clear Calibration may not
resolve all camera and sensor concerns.
NOTE: To calibrate, cameras require highly-visible lane markings in both the driving lane and adjacent lanes (at least two lanes
over on each side of the vehicle). For best results, drive in the middle lane of a multi-lane highway (ideally with at least five
lanes) that has clear lane markings and minimal traffic.
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is not available until the calibration process is complete, the feature is disabled and
the displays a message.

Owner's Manual

8

Owners Manual
NOTE: Cybertruck must repeat the calibration process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla, and in some cases, after a
software update.
Keeping Cameras Free of Obstructions
Ensure all cameras are clean and free of obstructions before each drive and before using Autopilot features (see Cleaning a
Camera on page 198). 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 508.
Condensation can form inside the camera enclosures, especially if you park your vehicle outside in cold or wet conditions. The
may display an alert stating that a camera is blocked and that some or all Autopilot features may be temporarily restricted until
the camera vision is clear. To proactively dry the condensation, precondition the cabin by setting it to a warm temperature,
turning the windshield defroster on, and directing the front air vents toward the door pillars (see Mobile App on page 18).

CAUTION: To avoid damage, windows automatically lower slightly when you open or close a door. If you manually raise a
window when the door is open, ensure it is slightly lowered before closing the door.
WARNING: Before closing a window, it is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that all occupants, especially children, do
not have any body parts extended through the window’s opening. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
Locking Rear Windows
WARNING: To ensure safety, it is recommended that you lock the rear window switches whenever children are seated in
the rear seats.
WARNING: Never leave children unattended in Cybertruck.
UV Index Rating
The roof, windshields, and windows in Cybertruck are excellent at protecting you from UV (ultraviolet) rays. The glass
components score less than 2 on the UV Index scale. Review your region’s UV Index specifications for more information. You
are still responsible for taking the necessary precautions for sun protection.

Front Trunk
Opening
To open the front trunk, ensure Cybertruck is in Park, and then do one of the following before pulling the hood open:
• Touch the front trunk button in the mobile app.
WARNING: Before opening or closing the hood, it is important to check that the area around the hood is free of
obstacles (people and objects). Failure to do so may result in damage or serious injury.
Closing
The Cybertruck hood is not heavy enough to latch under its own weight and applying pressure on the front edge or center of
the hood can cause damage.
To properly close the hood:
1. Lower the hood until the striker touches the latches.
2. Place both hands on the front of the hood in the areas shown (in green), then press down firmly to engage the latches.
3. Carefully try to lift the front edge of the hood to ensure that it is fully closed.
CAUTION: To prevent damage:
• Apply pressure only to the green areas shown. Applying pressure to the red areas can cause damage.
• Do not close the hood with one hand. Doing so applies concentrated force in one area and can result in a dent or
crease.
• Do not apply pressure to the front edge of the hood. Doing so can crease the edge.
• Do not slam or drop the hood.
• To avoid scratches, don't have anything in your hands (keys). Jewelry can also cause scratches.
WARNING: Before driving, you must ensure that the hood is securely latched in the fully closed position by carefully
trying to lift the front edge of the hood upward and confirming there is no movement. It is the driver's responsibility to
ensure that the front trunk is properly closed before driving.
The front trunk locks when:
• You lock Cybertruck using the touchscreen, key or mobile app.
• You leave Cybertruck carrying your key (if is turned on).
• Valet mode is active (see Valet Mode on page 46).
Front Trunk Load Limit
Distribute the weight of cargo as evenly as possible between the front and rear trunks.
WARNING: When loading cargo, always consider the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) (see Specifications
on page 137). The GVWR is the maximum allowable total mass of the vehicle including all passengers, fluids, and cargo.
Interior Emergency Release
An illuminated interior release button inside the front trunk allows a person locked inside to get out.
Press the interior release button to unlatch the front trunk, then push up on the hood.
NOTE: The interior release button glows following a brief exposure to ambient light.
WARNING: People should never climb inside the front trunk. Never shut the front trunk when a person is inside.

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure that objects inside the front trunk do not bump against the release button,
causing the hood to accidentally open.

Seating and Safety Restraints

13

Owner's Manual

Owners Manual
Seat Belts
Wearing Seat Belts
Using seat belts and child safety seats is the most effective way to protect occupants if a collision occurs. Therefore, wearing
a seat belt is required by law in most jurisdictions.
All seats are equipped with three-point inertia reel seat belts. Inertia reel belts are automatically tensioned to allow occupants
to move comfortably during normal driving conditions.
The seat belt reel automatically tightens or locks to prevent movement of occupants if Cybertruck experiences a force
associated with hard acceleration, braking, cornering, or an impact in a collision.
Seat Belt Reminders
The seat belt reminder alerts you if a seat belt for an occupied driver or passenger seat is unbuckled. If all
occupants are buckled up and the reminder stays on, re-buckle seat belts to ensure they are correctly latched.
Also remove any heavy objects (such as a briefcase) from an unoccupied seat. If the reminder light continues to
stay on, contact Tesla.
WARNING: Seat belts must be worn by passengers in all seating positions.
NOTE: In regions where regulations require seat belt reminders in rear seating positions, these reminders cannot be disabled.
To cancel the reminder in an unoccupied seat when an object is detected, you must either fasten the seat belt or remove the
object.
To Fasten a Belt
1. Ensure correct positioning of the seat. See for details on the correct position of the driver's seat.
2. Draw the belt out smoothly, ensuring the belt lays flat across the pelvis, chest and mid-point of your collar bone, between
the neck and shoulder. Ensure the belt is routed correctly and is not twisted. Never sit on the seat belt or any seat belt
component.
WARNING: A twisted or incorrectly routed seat belt can cause damage and interfere with the functionality of the seat
belt system.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle and press together until you hear a click indicating it is locked in place.

4. Pull the belt to check that it is securely fastened.
5. Pull the diagonal part of the belt toward the reel to remove excess slack.

Owner's Manual

14

Owners Manual
To Release a Belt
Hold the belt near the buckle to prevent the belt from retracting too quickly, then press the button on the buckle. The belt
retracts automatically. Ensure there is no obstruction that prevents the belt from fully retracting. The belt should not hang
loose. If a seat belt does not fully retract, contact Tesla.
Wearing Seat Belts When Pregnant
Do not put the lap or shoulder sections of the seat belt over the abdominal area. Wear the lap section of the belt as low as
possible across the hips, not the waist. Position the shoulder portion of the belt between the breasts and to the side of the
abdomen. Consult your doctor for specific guidance.

WARNING: If the seat belt is uncomfortable, adjust the seating position instead of wearing the seat belt incorrectly.
WARNING: Never place anything between you and the seat belt to cushion the impact in the event of a collision.
Seat Belt Pre-tensioners
The front seat belts are equipped with pre‑tensioners that work in conjunction with the airbags in a collision. The
pre‑tensioners automatically retract both the seat belt lower anchor and the upper shoulder webbing, reducing slack in both
