Traction Control
How It Works
The traction control system constantly monitors the speed of the front and rear wheels. If Cybertruck experiences a loss of traction, your vehicle minimizes wheel spin by controlling brake pressure and motor power. By default, the traction control system is on. Under normal conditions, it should remain on to ensure maximum safety.
Note
When Cybertruck is in an Off-Road Drive Mode, the traction control system may be disabled or operate differently. For more information about customizing the traction control system while driving off road, see Off-Road Driving.
This yellow indicator flashes on the touchscreen whenever the traction control system is actively controlling brake pressure and motor power to minimize wheel spin. If the indicator stays on, a fault is detected with the traction control system. Use the mobile app to schedule a service appointment.
Warning
Traction control cannot prevent collisions caused by driving dangerously or turning too sharply at high speeds.
Slippery Surfaces
Your vehicle maximizes traction and stability during slippery conditions such as, such as rain, snow, or ice. To enable, go to .
The touchscreen displays an alert message when Slippery Surface is enabled.
Note
Even when this setting is Off, Cybertruck continuously detects characteristics of the current driving surface and automatically adapts Traction Control.
