Shifting
In situations where the touchscreen is unavailable (for
example, experiencing a technical issue), or Cybertruck
is in Valet or Transport Mode, the drive mode selector on
the overhead console illuminates automatically and
there is no need to touch it.
NOTE: You can also activate the drive mode selector on
the overhead console by simultaneously and briefly
pressing both scroll buttons on the steering wheel.
However, if you press and hold both buttons
simultaneously, the drive mode selector activates and
the touchscreen restarts (see
Touchscreen on page 9).
NOTE: The front trunk must be closed to shift using the
overhead console.
1. Park
2. Reverse
3. Neutral
4. Drive
NOTE: When the touchscreen is available for shifting
and you have manually activated the drive mode
selector on the overhead console, the overhead console
automatically deactivates if you don't shift after a short
amount of time.
Park
To manually shift into Park, press the brake pedal and
touch the Park button on the touchscreen's drive mode
strip. If the touchscreen is unavailable, press Park on the
drive mode selector located on the overhead console.

Restarting the
Cybertruck automatically shifts into Park to prevent roll-
away while driving in low speeds. This happens
whenever you connect a charge cable, unbuckle your
seat belt, or open the door while in Drive or Neutral.
Ensure the charge cable is removed, buckle your seat
belt, and close the door before shifting out of Park.
Attempting to engage the parking brake above 5 mph (8
km/h) will result in emergency braking (see
Stopping on page 87).
NOTE: In emergency situations, if the brakes are not
functioning properly, you can press and hold the Park
button on the touchscreen's drive mode strip to apply
the brakes and remove drive torque while the button is
held. Do not use this method to stop the vehicle unless
absolutely necessary.
NOTE: You must always press the brake pedal to shift
out of Park.
CAUTION: Cybertruck will not shift out of Park if a
charge cable is plugged in, or if the charge port is
unable to determine whether a charging cable is
plugged in. In situations when Cybertruck does not
shift out of Park, check the touchscreen for
instructions on how to proceed.
WARNING: It is the driver's responsibility to always
ensure the vehicle is in Park before exiting. Never
rely on Cybertruck to automatically shift into Park
for you.
Drive
To manually shift into Drive, swipe up on the drive mode
strip located on the touchscreen or, if the touchscreen is
unavailable, press D on the drive mode selector located
on the overhead console. You can shift into Drive when
Cybertruck is stopped or moving less than 5 mph (8
km/h) in Reverse.
Reverse
To manually shift into Reverse, swipe down on the drive
mode strip located on the touchscreen or, if the
touchscreen is unavailable, press R on the drive mode
selector located on the overhead console. You can shift
into Reverse when Cybertruck is stopped or moving less
than 5 mph (8 km/h) in Drive.
Neutral
Neutral allows Cybertruck to roll freely when you are not
pressing the brake pedal. To shift into Neutral, do any of
the following:
• Open Controls, then press and hold the Neutral icon
on the drive mode strip until Cybertruck engages
Neutral.
• Choose Neutral from the drive mode selector on the
overhead console.
