Getting Maximum Range - Tesla CYBERTRUCK Owner's Manual

Getting Maximum Range

Factors Affecting Energy
Consumption
While driving:
• Elevated driving speed.
• Environmental conditions such as cold or hot weather
and wind.
• Using climate controls to heat or cool the cabin.
• Uphill travel: Driving uphill requires more energy and
depletes range at a faster rate. However, driving
downhill allows your vehicle to regain a portion of its
expended energy through regenerative braking (see
Regenerative Braking on page
• Short trips or stop-and-go traffic: It takes energy to
bring the cabin and Battery to a specified
temperature when starting the vehicle. You may see a
higher average consumption when the vehicle is used
for very short trips or in heavy traffic.
• Heavy cargo load.
• Windows rolled down.
• The tonneau cover staying open.
• Towing a trailer.
• Driving on soft or sandy terrain (see
on page 95).
• Wheels and tires not maintained.
• Customized settings or third-party accessories (roof
or trunk racks, third party wheels).
While parked and not plugged in to a charger:
• Preconditioning the cabin or using climate controls.
• Vehicle infotainment and climate controls system.
• Sentry mode.
• Tesla or third-party mobile app requests.
• The outlets in the cabin or the cargo bed are in use.

Tips to Maximize Range
You can maximize your driving range using the same
driving habits you use to conserve fuel in a gasoline-
powered vehicle. To achieve maximum range:
• If safe to do so, modulate the accelerator pedal
instead of using the brake pedal when gradually
slowing down. Whenever Cybertruck is moving and
you are not pressing the accelerator pedal,
regenerative braking slows down the vehicle and
feeds surplus energy back to the Battery (see
Regenerative Braking on page
174

• Limit the use of resources such as heating and air
conditioning. Using seat and steering wheel heaters
(if equipped) to keep warm is more efficient than
heating the cabin using climate controls.
• With your vehicle plugged in, use the mobile app to
precondition your vehicle to ensure the cabin is at a
comfortable temperature and windows are defrosted
(if needed) before your drive by touching Climate >
On and customizing your preferences (see
App on page 64).
• Touch Schedule, available on both the charging and
climate control screens, to set a time when you want
your vehicle to be ready to drive (see
this Location on page 171).
• Ensure the wheels are aligned to specification, the
tires are kept at the recommended inflation pressures
(see Tire Pressures on page
when needed (see Maintenance Service Intervals on
page 178).
• Install wheel covers (if equipped) to reduce wind
resistance.
• Lighten your load by removing any unnecessary
cargo.
• Fully raise all windows and close the tonneau cover.
• Features such as Sentry Mode can impact range.
Disable features when not needed.
• To prevent an excessive amount of energy
consumption while the vehicle is idle, keep the
vehicle plugged in when not in use.
It is normal for estimated range to decrease slightly over
the first few months before leveling off. Over time, you
may see a gradual, but natural, decrease in range at full
charge – this depends on factors such as the mileage
and age of the Battery. Your Cybertruck will inform you
in the unlikely event a hardware issue is causing
excessive Battery or range degradation.
Range Assurance
The driving range displayed in Cybertruck is an estimate
of the remaining battery energy based on EPA-rated
consumption. It may not account for your personal
driving patterns or external conditions. The displayed
range on the may decrease faster than the actual
distance driven.
Your vehicle continuously monitors its energy level and
proximity to known charging locations.
