Checking and Adjusting Tire Pressures

Tire pressures display on the touchscreen by touching Controls > Service. The pressure of each tire displays in the visualization of Cybertruck, in addition to the time the tire pressures were last read by the system. You can also view tire pressures in the mobile app.

The Low Tire Pressure indicator light on the touchscreen alerts you if a tire is under-inflated. This light does not immediately turn off when you adjust tire pressure. After inflating the tire to the recommended pressure, you must drive over 15 mph (25 km/h) for a short amount of time to activate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which turns off the Low Tire Pressure indicator light.

Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressures, even if it differs from the pressure printed on the tire itself. Your vehicle Owner's Manual and the Tire and Loading Information label on the center door pillar (visible when the driver door is open) show the recommended tire pressures based on a nominal driving scenario in which the vehicle is carrying cargo in the front trunk and up to five passengers.

CAUTION
If you are towing a trailer, do not use the tire pressures printed on the Tire and Loading Information Label. Instead, refer to the tire pressures published in the Owner's Manual.

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 Removing and Installing Wheel Covers).
  3. Remove the valve cap.
  4. Firmly press an accurate tire pressure gauge onto the valve to measure pressure.

    You can also view tire pressures on the touchscreen.
  5. If required, add or remove air to reach the recommended pressure.

    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.
