Off-Road Mode
- Overland Mode comes with more consistent handling and better overall traction while driving on rock, gravel, deep snow, or sand.
- Baja Mode for vehicle balance is improved and the vehicle handles more freely when Stability Assist is set to Minimal.
Locking Differentials (Dual Motor AWD) – Off-Road Mode
- If a wheel has limited or no traction, Cybertruck can direct that torque to the opposite wheel on uneven or slippery terrain.
- In Off-Road Mode, you can choose from Locking Differentials options on the vehicle status area or in the Off-Road app.
Front Locking Differential (Cyberbeast Tri-Motor) – Off-Road Mode
- You can go to Off-Road Mode > Overland to enable the Locking Differential feature. Cyberbeast tri motor has a virtual rear-locked differential which is working in overland mode.

Trail Assist (Off-Road Mode)
- It’s like cruise control, but for off-roading. Trail Assist helps maintain a set cruising speed so you can focus on steering. Trail Assist works as both a hill ascent and descent control helping to keep the wheels from slipping.
- You can enable this feature by going into Off-Road Mode > Trail Assist.
Slippery Surface (On-Road)
- It helps to achieve better traction control on snowy, icy, wet, or slick roads to distribute traction evenly across all tires.
- Check them by going into Dynamics > Slippery Surface. Dynamics > Engage Rear Locking Differential for increased traction (should be used temporarily only)
Ride and Handling with a Load (On-Road)
- Adaptive suspension can now estimate payload more accurately and automatically adjust damping to deliver a more comfortable ride and more consistent, confident handling.
CyberTent Mode
- It can level the suspension so you can sleep comfortably on a flat surface in your CyberTent.
- You can also keep the tonneau cover open to accommodate your tent. Lights, AC & outlets will stay on as well if enabled.
