Checking and Adjusting Tire
Pressures
WARNING: Check tire pressures using an accurate
pressure gauge when tires are cold. It takes only
about one mile (1.6 km) of driving to warm up the
tires sufficiently to affect tire pressures. Parking
the vehicle in direct sunlight or in hot weather can
also affect tire pressures. If you must check warm
tires, expect increased pressures. Do not let air out
of warm tires in an attempt to match
recommended cold tire pressures. A hot tire at or
below the recommended cold tire inflation
pressure is dangerously under-inflated.
Follow these steps when tires are cold and Cybertruck
has been stationary for over three hours:
1. Refer to the Tire and Loading Information label
located on the driver's center door pillar for the
target tire pressure.
2. Remove the wheel cover (see
Installing Wheel Covers on page
3. Remove the valve cap.
4. Firmly press an accurate tire pressure gauge onto the
valve to measure pressure.
NOTE: You can also view tire pressures on the
touchscreen.
5. If required, add or remove air to reach the
recommended pressure.
NOTE: You can release air by pressing the metal stem
in the center of the valve.
6. Re-check pressure using the accurate tire gauge.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as necessary until the tire
pressure is correct.
8. Reinstall the valve cap to prevent dirt from entering.
Periodically check the valve for damage and leaks.
9. Reinstall the wheel cover.

Tire Pressures
Tire Pressure Monitoring
Each tire should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the recommended pressures (see
Tire Pressures on page 184). If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
When the Tire Pressure indicator light displays on the
touchscreen to alert you about tire pressure, stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure (see Maintaining Tire Pressures on
page 184). Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces range efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
If Cybertruck detects a fault with the
TPMS, this indicator flashes for one minute
whenever you power on Cybertruck.
NOTE: Installing accessories that are not approved by
Tesla can interfere with the TPMS.
WARNING: The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, including manually checking tire
pressures and regularly inspecting the condition of
tires. It is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level for the TPMS to trigger the Tire
Pressure indicator light on the touchscreen.
