The Tesla Cybertruck has three off-road modes that have finally been detailed by the automaker.
would be pushed to Cybertrucks via a software update in May, but now the automaker has released a video showing off-road mode in action on the trails of Moab, and providing a bit more detail on its functions.. But in contrast to Rivian's extensive menu, Tesla only offers two choices for now.focuses on low-speed, technical driving, while Baja mode is designed for higher-speed blasts over loose surfaces.
Off-road mode also includes Trail Assist, which can maintain a set speed and also incorporates hill-descent control and hill-ascent control. This is also accessed via the touchscreen, along with controls for a roof-mounted light bar. In addition to the software-based features, the Cybertruck features mechanical locking differentials that are also controlled via the touchscreen. Dual-motor models have front and rear lockers that can be engaged separately. The tri-motor Cyberbeast version has a front locker and simulates a rear locker using its two rear motors, similar to tri-motor versions of the GMC Hummer EV.
Tesla delivered the first Cybertrucks in December 2023 after a long waiting period that stretched back to the unveiling of a concept version in November 2019, and included a two-year delay. The production Cybertruck retains most of the concept's controversial looks, but —with less range. The addition of an off-road mode at least allows the pickup to achieve some of its promised capability.
