Tesla today announced a new off-road mode software update for the Cybertruck electric pickup truck including the following features:

  1. Off-Road Mode
  2. Locking Differentials (Dual Motor AWD)
  3. Front Locking Differential (Cyberbeast Tri-Motor)
  4. Trail Assist
  5. Slipper Surface – On-Road
  6. Ride and Handling with a Load – On-Road

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.
