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. Set the suspension setting to Very High and enable Jack Mode (Controls > Service > Jack Mode) 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 tire diagonal to the one you're working on (for example, if you are replacing the rear driver's side tire, chock the front passenger's side tire).
   Note

   On a downhill, place the chock in front of the tire. On an uphill, place the chock behind the tire.

   

5. Remove the wheel cover from the wheel with the flat tire by grasping the cover firmly with both hands and pulling the cover toward you to release the clips. Then remove the mounting ring (see Removing and Installing Wheel Covers).
6. Add the socket to the lug nut wrench and extend it, then use the lug nut wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the wheel by a half-turn, starting with the top lug nut and working in a star-shaped pattern.

   

7. Place the bottle jack under the vehicle's lift point (shown in green) corresponding to the location you are working on.
   Warning

   Do not get under the vehicle when it is propped up on the jack. Doing so may cause serious injury or death.
   Warning

   DO NOT position the jack under the Battery or side rails (shown in red).

   

   

8. Following the bottle jack manufacturer's instructions, begin to lift the vehicle, making sure to constantly monitor the contact with the lift point. Be sure to lift the vehicle enough for a fully inflated tire to fit, not just a flat tire.

   

9. Once the tire is no longer contacting the ground, remove the lug nuts and the wheel.

   

10. Set the flat tire aside, partially under the truck next to the jack as an added safety measure.
11. Place the spare tire onto the lug studs, then hand tighten the lug nuts.

    

12. Carefully lower the vehicle using the bottle jack (following the manufacturer's instructions), then remove the bottle jack once the vehicle is on the ground.
13. Fully tighten the lug nuts with the lug nut wrench to a torque of 205 Nm (151 ft-lb), starting with the top lug nut and working in a star-shaped pattern.

    

14. Replace the mounting ring (if needed) and wheel cover by aligning with the wheel and securing the outer clips first, then securing the center clips (see Storage).
15. Disengage Jack Mode by touching Controls > Service > Jack Mode.
16. Store the old tire in the spare tire kit and tether it to the cargo bed using the strap and D-rings.

To secure to 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 right-hand 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.
