Warning
NEVER get under the vehicle while Cybertruck is being propped up with the jack. Doing so can cause serious injury or death.

Before using the spare tire, make sure it is adequately inflated according to the tire pressures on the driver’s side door pillar.

To install the spare tire:

  1. Retrieve the spare tire from the cargo bed and set aside.
  2. Ensure Cybertruck is located in a flat, stable, and secure area with enough space surrounding the vehicle to jack it.
  3. Ensure the vehicle suspension setting is set to Medium and enable Jack Mode (Controls > Service > Jack Mode see #D1E10860) to disable self-leveling.

    Warning
    You MUST enable Jack Mode, otherwise the vehicle may try to self-level while on the jack. Failing to engage Jack Mode may cause serious injury or death.
  4. If available, chock the wheel diagonal to the corner you're working on (for example, if you are replacing the rear driver's side tire, chock the front passenger's side tire).
  5. Remove the wheel cover from the wheel with the flat tire (see Removing and Installing Wheel Covers).
  6. Use the lug nut wrench to break loose the lug nuts on the wheel.
  7. Place the bottle jack under the vehicle's lift point (shown in green) corresponding to the location you are working on.

Storage

To install onto the cargo bed:

  1. Place the spare tire (in the vinyl cover) up against the front center of the truck bed.
  2. Locate the 2 bolt covers in the center of the bed.
  3. Latch the hooks onto the D-rings in the center of the bed.
  4. Connect the strap, then tighten starting from the RH side using the slack adjuster. Secure the excess strap to the top of the cover with the Velcro.
  5. Jostle the tire to ensure it does not move around in the cargo bed.
