Suspension
Cybertruck is equipped with adaptive air suspension that offers superior ride quality, balances comfort with range and performance, and maintains a level height between the front and rear axles.
You can manually adjust the ride height to suit your circumstances. For example, you can raise Cybertruck when you need extra ground clearance (such as when driving on a steep driveway or ramp, in deep snow, over large speed bumps, parking curbs, etc.) or temporarily lower Cybertruck when you need extra space above the vehicle (such as in a parking garage) or to increase handling and range.
Ride Height Settings - On-Road
The following ride height settings are meant for day-to-day driving when Cybertruck is in an on-road drive mode. For more information on customizing the preferred ride height, see On-Road Modes.
| Setting | Change in Height | Description |
|---|---|---|
| High | 2.4 in. (6 cm) above Medium |
When the ride height is set to High, it automatically returns to the preferred ride height* after driving approximately 100 ft. (30 meters) or when your driving speed reaches 25 mph (40 km/h). |
| Low | 1.6 in. (4 cm) below Medium |
When the ride height is set to Low, it automatically returns to the preferred ride height* after driving approximately 100 ft. (30 meters) or when your driving speed reaches 25 mph (40 km/h). |
| Entry | 2.2 in. (5.5 cm) below Medium |
When the ride height is set to Entry, it automatically returns to the preferred ride height* once your driving speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h). When Auto Lower is enabled, Cybertruck lowers to the Entry setting when in Park to make it easier to enter or exit the vehicle (see Auto Lower). |

Ride Height Settings - Off-Road
The following ride height settings are available when Cybertruck is in an off-road drive mode. For more information about driving off-road, see Off-Road Driving.
| Setting | Change in Height | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Extract | 5.9 in. (15 cm) above Medium |
Extract is the maximum ride height, designed for use when Cybertruck is stuck on an underbody obstacle. This is only available in certain off-road modes. When the ride height is set to Extract, vehicle speed is limited to 10 mph (16 km/h), and torque may be limited. The ride height automatically resets to Very High once your driving speed exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h). |
| Very High | 3.9 in. (10 cm) above Medium |
Very High increases ground clearance and improves approach, breakover, and departure angles while off-road driving. When the ride height is set to Very High, vehicle speed is limited to 25 mph (40 km/h). The ride height automatically resets to High when your driving speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h). |
| High | 2.4 in. (6 cm) above Medium |
High increases ground clearance to suit general off-road driving at both low and high speeds. |
Auto Lower
To make it easier to get into Cybertruck, enable Auto Lower (). Once enabled, your vehicle automatically adjusts to the Entry ride height whenever your vehicle shifts into Park.
The suspension automatically raises back to your preferred ride height when you resume driving.
Self-Leveling
To prevent damage when jacking or lifting the vehicle, you must activate Jack Mode to disable self-leveling. For more details, see Jack Mode.
Auto-Raising Locations
Whenever you raise the suspension, your vehicle saves the suspension setting based on the location. By saving the location, you do not need to manually raise the suspension every time you arrive at a frequently-used location where you have previously raised the suspension. When you return to the saved location, Cybertruck raises the suspension and the touchscreen displays a message indicating that the suspension is adjusting.
When returning to a saved location and driving faster than the suspension settings allow, the suspension does not adjust until the vehicle slows down. For example, if you set the suspension to always raise on a particular street to account for speed bumps, but you are traveling at more than 25 mph (40 km/h) when you reach that location, the ride height is not raised until your speed falls below 25 mph (40 km/h).
If Cybertruck reaches a saved location and the existing suspension setting is already higher than the level that has been saved for that location, the ride height is not adjusted. After leaving a saved location, the suspension automatically lowers to the preferred ride height. However, it may not lower until your vehicle meets the speed and distance threshold at which the suspension lowers.
To remove an auto-raising location
If no longer want the suspension to automatically raise at a location, touch to deselect Always raise at this location in the popup that appears when you arrive at a saved location.
