Limitations and Warnings

Off-road driving depends on the performance of the air suspension system, brakes, power steering, and other vehicle systems. If there is a condition affecting the performance of any dependent system, a message displays on the touchscreen and off-road driving modes are unavailable.

Warning
Before driving off road, carefully survey the terrain and be aware of the weather forecast and other environmental conditions. Exercise extreme caution when approaching steep ascents and descents. While driving off road, always be aware of your surroundings and survey the terrain as necessary. Tesla is not liable for any damage to Cybertruck resulting from off-road driving.

Warning
Never depend on the driving visualization to show you obstacles in front of, behind, or to the sides of Cybertruck. Always use caution while driving off road and perform visual checks when necessary. The visualization relies on the cameras mounted on Cybertruck (see Cameras). External factors (such as a dirty or obscured lens) may affect the performance of a camera, and the cameras may not detect objects or barriers that can potentially cause damage or injury.

Warning
Before approaching an obstacle, ensure that Cybertruck has enough ground clearance to clear it. If the bottom of Cybertruck is contacting the ground even with the ride height at the highest setting, reduce your speed or avoid the obstacle altogether.
