Climate
WARNING: You are responsible for the safety of your dog or pet. Never leave them in Cybertruck for long periods of
time. Constantly monitor the vehicle temperature and their well-being. Make sure you have sufficient cellular coverage
on your phone and time to return to the vehicle, if necessary.
WARNING: In the unlikely event that your climate control system needs service or is not working as expected, avoid
using Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp. Never rely on your vehicle to protect something irreplaceable.
WARNING: You can adjust and monitor the climate control system remotely using the mobile app. However, if you use
the mobile app to turn off the climate control system, Keep Climate On, Dog, and Camp stop operating.

Cabin Overheat Protection
Cabin Overheat Protection prevents the cabin from getting too hot in scorching ambient conditions. While not necessary to
activate whenever you leave Cybertruck, the climate control system can reduce and maintain the temperature of your vehicle’s
cabin. This can prevent the cabin from getting too hot after leaving it parked in the sun, making the vehicle more comfortable
when you return. Cabin Overheat Protection may take up to 15 minutes to enable once you exit the vehicle. This feature is
intended for passenger comfort and has no impact on the reliability of your vehicle's components.
To turn on, touch Controls > Safety > Cabin Overheat Protection and choose:
• On: The air conditioning operates when the cabin temperature exceeds 105° F (40° C), or the selected temperature on the
touchscreen or mobile app. Customizing temperatures may require the most recent version of the mobile app.
• Off: Disables Cabin Overheat Protection.
You can also enable Cabin Overheat Protection remotely through the mobile app by touching Climate. Swipe up on the bottom
menu and select a setting under Cabin Overheat Protection (see Mobile App on page 18).
Cabin Overheat Protection operates until 12 hours has elapsed once you exit Cybertruck, or until the Battery energy drops
below 20%, whichever comes first. Using Cabin Overheat Protection requires energy from the Battery, which may decrease
range.
WARNING: Due to automatic shut-off, extreme outside conditions, or other potential inability to maintain the selected
temperature, the inside of the vehicle can become dangerously hot, even when Cabin Overheat Protection is enabled. If
you experience temperatures exceeding the selected temperature repeatedly, contact Tesla service.
WARNING: Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended. Due to automatic shut-off or extreme outside
conditions, the inside of the vehicle can become dangerously hot, even when Cabin Overheat Protection is enabled.

Climate Control Operating Tips
Normal behavior:
• When you use the mobile app to turn on the climate control system, it automatically turns off when the charge level drops
to 20%, or if two hours has passed. To cool or heat the cabin for a longer period of time, charge the vehicle and re-enable
your climate control preference through the mobile app.
• To reduce the temperature in the cabin in hot weather conditions, the fan may turn on to vent the cabin when the vehicle is
parked. This occurs only if the Battery's charge level is above 20%.
• In addition to cooling the interior, the air conditioning compressor also cools the Battery. Therefore, in hot weather, the air
conditioning compressor can turn on even if you turned it off. This is normal because the system’s priority is to cool the
Battery to ensure it stays within an optimum temperature range to support longevity and optimum performance.
• You may hear the sound of the climate system inside the cabin of Cybertruck when parked. It makes a low fan noise. The
climate system attempts to dry itself out to minimize additional moisture or musty odors. This is a normal operation and not
a cause for concern.
• Even when not in use, you may hear Cybertruck emit a whining noise or the sound of water circulating. These sounds are
normal and occur when the internal cooling systems turn on to support various vehicle functions, such as maintaining the
low voltage battery and balancing the temperature of the high voltage Battery.
• In very humid conditions, it is normal for the windshield to fog slightly when you first turn on the air conditioning.
• It is normal for a small pool of water to form under Cybertruck when parked. Extra water produced by the dehumidifying
process is drained underneath.
Tips:
Owner's Manual

366

Climate
• If the climate control system is louder than you prefer, manually reduce the fan speed.
• Improve the efficiency of the cabin heating or cooling by reducing your rate of acceleration. This allows the heat pump
system to take more heat from the Battery to efficiently heat the cabin, instead of maintaining the Battery's ability to
provide peak acceleration performance. Note that when subsequently increasing the acceleration mode, the Battery
requires time to warm up before the increased level of acceleration is available.
• To ensure the climate control system operates efficiently, close all windows and ensure that the exterior grille in front of the
windshield is free of ice, snow, leaves, and other debris.
• Your charge port latch may freeze in extremely cold weather or icy conditions. In cases where you cannot remove or insert
the charge cable, or your vehicle is not Supercharging due to the latch being frozen in place, enable Defrost Truck in the
mobile app. This helps thaw ice on the charge port latch so the charge cable can be removed or inserted. See Cold Weather
Best Practices on page 89 for more information.

Climate
Adjusting the Front and Rear Vents
Cybertruck has a unique horizontal face-level vent that spans the width of the dashboard. It also has vents at the top and
bottom of the rear console.
NOTE: Outside air is drawn into Cybertruck through the grill in front of the windshield. Keep the grill clear of obstructions,
such as leaves and snow.
Using the front and rear touchscreens, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to direct the air flowing from this vent when
heating or cooling the cabin. When the face-level vent is on you can adjust the direction of the air flow from each vent. To
adjust the direction of the air flow, touch the radiating air waves from the corresponding vent on the touchscreen. The air flows
in a single stream when centered or splits into mirrored air streams when air is directed outward or inward from the center of
the vent.
NOTE: When you split a vent into two separate air flows, the air flow in each direction is not as strong as when all air is flowing
in a single direction.
Front passengers can turn off the flow of air from the passenger vent. To turn off air flow, press and hold the front passenger
air waves on the touchscreen. You can turn on the flow of air again by touching the front passenger vent.

Cabin Air Filter(s)
Cybertruck has a HEPA filter to prevent pollen, industrial fallout, road dust and other particles from entering through the
vents.
NOTE: The HEPA filter requires periodic replacement. See Service Intervals on page 117.

Climate
Cold Weather Best Practices
To ensure that Cybertruck provides you with the best ownership experience possible in harsh cold weather conditions, follow
these best practices.

Before Driving
When snow and ice accumulate on your vehicle, moving parts, such as the doors, windows, mirrors, and the wiper can freeze
in place. To achieve maximum range and performance, it is helpful to warm the cabin and Battery before driving. There are
several ways to do so:
• Touch Controls > Schedule (also 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 111).
• In the mobile app, navigate to Climate to customize the temperature at which you want to heat the cabin. This also warms
the high voltage Battery as needed.
• In the mobile app, navigate to Climate to melt snow, ice, and frost on the windshield, charge port, windows, and mirrors.
This also warms the high voltage Battery as needed.
NOTE: Tesla recommends activating climate settings at least 30-45 minutes before departure (see Operating Climate
Controls on page 363). Preconditioning times depend on outside temperature and other factors. The mobile app will notify
you once your vehicle has reached the desired preconditioning temperature.
Charge Port
If your charge port latch freezes in place and a charging cable becomes stuck in the charge port, try manually releasing the
charge cable. See Manually Releasing Charge Cable on page 394.
You can also prevent the occurrence of a charge port latch freezing in place by using the Schedule settings (see Scheduled
Precondition and Charge on page 111).
NOTE: If your charge port latch is frozen in place, it may not lock the charging cable in place when inserted, but it can still
charge at a slow AC rate even if the latch is not engaged.
Charging
By using Trip Planner to navigate to a Tesla charging location, Cybertruck pre-heats the high voltage Battery to ensure when
you arrive at the charger, the temperature of the Battery is optimal and ready to charge. This reduces the amount of time it
takes to charge. See (see Trip Planner on page 98).
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 89).
Windows
In the mobile app, go to Climate and select Defrost Truck, which helps melt snow, ice, and frost on the windshield, windows,
and mirrors.
Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment for Tesla to provide hydrophobic coating to the side and rear windows
(not the front windshield) for a nominal fee.
Mirrors
If ice buildup is expected when parking, turn off Auto-Fold Mirrors. Touch Controls > Auto-Fold. Ice can prevent exterior side
mirrors from folding or unfolding.
NOTE: Side mirrors automatically heat as needed during preconditioning, or when the rear defroster is turned on.
Tires and Tire Chains
Use winter tires to increase traction in snowy or icy conditions. You can purchase winter tires on the Tesla Shop (see Seasonal
Tire Types on page 420).
369

Owner's Manual

Climate
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 421 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 419). 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 363).
• 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 285).
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 111).
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 105).
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 111). 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.

Climate
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 111).
• 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 363). 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 105). 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 365 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 111.

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 89).
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.

• Touch the arrow icon to navigate to the charging location.
NOTE: When navigating to a Supercharger (or third-party fast charger in some regions), Cybertruck preconditions the
Battery to prepare for charging. This ensures you arrive with an optimal Battery temperature, reducing the amount of time it
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 89).
• 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 394).

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 93). 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 113.
• 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

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 93), 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 89).
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,
periodically connect Cybertruck to a Wi-Fi network (see Wi-Fi on page 21). The touchscreen displays a message informing
you when new maps are installed.

Media
Overview
NOTE: Media apps vary depending on market region, vehicle configuration, options purchased, and software version. Some
apps described may not be available in your market region, or may be replaced by different ones.
The Media Player displays on the touchscreen and is used to play various types of media. You can drag Media Player upward to
expand it (allowing you to browse), and downward to minimize it so that just the Miniplayer displays. The convenient
Miniplayer, which occupies the least amount of space on the touchscreen, displays what's currently playing and provides only
the basic functions associated with what's playing.
Streaming services are available only when a data connection is available (for example, Wi-Fi or Premium Connectivity). For
some media services, you can use a default Tesla account. For others, you may need to enter account credentials the first time
you use it.
NOTE: Instead of launching a different media app, you can change the source from within the Media Player screen by choosing
a source from the dropdown list.
Radio: Choose from a list of available radio stations or touch the numeric keypad to directly tune the radio to a
specific frequency. Touch the next or previous arrows to move from one frequency to the next (or previous).

Bluetooth: Play audio from a bluetooth-connected phone or USB device (see Playing Media from Devices on
page 101).

Caraoke (if equipped): Sing along with various songs (see Caraoke on page 100).

NOTE: You can show or hide any media app/source. See Media Settings on page 100.
Cybertruck supports these media apps, if available in your region:
• Amazon Music
• Apple Music
• Apple Podcasts
• Audible
• LiveOne
• Spotify
• Tidal
• TuneIn
• YouTube Music
When listening to internet radio or a music streaming service, the options available on the Media Player screen vary depending
on what you are listening to. Touch the next (or previous) arrows to play the next (and in some cases previous) available
station, episode, or track. You can also play next/previous using the left scroll button on the steering wheel.
NOTE: You can use voice commands to adjust media settings and preferences, such as volume control, playing certain songs,
or switching the media source (see Voice Commands on page 6).
