If you have an elderly person close to you in your life, then you’re likely aware of the struggles they may have getting into or out of a car. Something unique to pickup trucks is that in most cases, drivers can adjust the vehicle height to be changed. Luckily, for Cybertruck owners, the same holds true. Continue reading for steps on how to adjust the height of your Tesla Cybertruck.
On-Road Height Settings
There are a few different height options that can be set for day-to-day driving for the Cybertruck. Changes can be made by tapping Controls > Dynamics > Preferred Ride Height using the touchscreen in the car. Each ride height shown below is in relation to Medium, which is considered to be 0 mm.
- High: 6 cm above Medium. In this setting, the height of the vehicle will automatically return to the preferred option after driving 30 meters, or when your speed reaches 40 km/h.
- Low: 4 cm below Medium. Similarly, the Cybertruck will return to the preferred height option after driving 30 meters, or when the speed hits 40 km/h.
- Entry: 5.5 cm below Medium. For this setting, the car will automatically return to the preferred ride height once driving speeds exceed 16 km/h. This is the ideal setting for entering and exiting the vehicle.
Off-Road Height Settings
There are also road height settings that are ideal for off-roading. Once again, the heights shown below are in relation to Medium, which is 0 mm.
- Extract: 15 cm above Medium, and is the maximum ride height designed for use when the Cybertruck is stuck on an underbody obstacle. When in this setting, the vehicle speed is limited to 16 km/h, and once you exceed this number your car will automatically reset to the Very High setting.
- Very High: 10 cm above Medium. This setting increases ground clearance and improves things like approach, breakover, and departure angles when off-roading. However, your speed will be limited to 40 km/h, and the setting will automatically change to High if you exceed this number.
- High: 6 cm above Medium. This will increase ground clearance to suit most off-roading scenarios at low and high speeds.
The Bottom Line
The steps on how to adjust the height of your Tesla Cybertruck are easy. When in your car, tap Controls > Dynamics > Preferred Ride Height and then simply choose what’s best for you. There are options for both normal on-road scenarios, as well as more unique off-road driving. However, most importantly, it can assist certain individuals when getting into or out of your car.
