Tesla CYBERTRUCK - Off-Road Modes

O-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 Cybertruck is in O-Road
Mode, you have access to settings and drive modes that
allow you to more easily manage steep ascents,
descents, uneven terrain, shallow creeks, and other
obstacles you may encounter.
O-Road Mode gives you greater control over traction,
stability, acceleration, and braking.
O-Road Mode also
allows you to quickly adjust the ride height of
Cybertruck (see Suspension on page 91).
CAUTION: Carefully read all cautions and warnings
before driving Cybertruck o road (see Limitations
and Warnings on page 98). Always pay close
attention and monitor the area to the front, rear,
and sides of Cybertruck for obstacles while o-
road driving.
CAUTION: Any damage caused by o-road driving
is not covered by the warranty.
Before O-Road Driving
1.
Plan your route: Carefully consult maps and weather
reports before beginning an o-road expedition and
familiarize yourself with the dierent 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 39). 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
o road.
3.
Evenly distribute vehicle load: While o-road driving,
Cybertruck performs best when the weight of
passengers and cargo is distributed evenly across the
front and rear axles (see Vehicle Loading on page
207). Detach large or heavily loaded trailers before
driving
o 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 manuevers 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 184).
5. Be prepared
: Equip your Cybertruck 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: Cybertruck has pieces of
plastic trim that descend in front of the front wheels
and rear wheels, respectively, 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
o-road over rough, uneven surfaces, rocks,
or obstacles. To prevent damage, remove the wheel
fairings before o-road driving. For more information
and instructions for removing the rocker panels, refer
to the Do It Yourself Guide (see
Do It Yourself
Maintenance on page 205).
7. Remove wheel covers: To prevent damage, remove
the wheel covers before driving o-road. For more
information, see Removing and Installing Wheel
Covers on page 188.
Enabling O-Road Mode
To enable O-Road Mode:
1.
Touch Controls > Dynamics > O-Road.
2.
After carefully reading and understanding the popup
window, touch Confirm.
WARNING:
Only use O-Road Mode in o-road
driving scenarios. O-Road Mode changes how
Cybertruck handles, accelerates and
decelerates, and is not appropriate for public
roads.
Cybertruck has two O-Road Modes.
•
Overland: Maximizes traction on all terrains at low
speeds. See
Overland on page 95.
•
Baja: Optimizes the suspension and traction control
of Cybertruck for high-speed driving on dirt roads or
in a desert environment. See Baja on page 96.
NOTE: Cybertruck must be in Park for you to change the
drive mode.
CAUTION:
The TPMS warning thresholds may be
lowered to accommodate dierent o-roading
needs. Do not rely solely on the TPMS warning
indicator when in O-Road Mode, 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.
