Calibrating Cameras

Before some Autopilot features can be used for the first time or after some types of service repairs, cameras must complete a self-calibration process. When the cameras are calibrating, the touchscreen displays a progress indicator. When calibration is complete, Autopilot features are available for use.

Calibration typically completes after driving 20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on the conditions. Calibration completes more quickly when driving on a straight road that has multiple lanes and highly visible lane markings in both the driving lane and adjacent lanes (at least two lanes over on each side of the vehicle). For best results, drive in the middle lane of a multi-lane highway (ideally with at least five lanes) that has clear lane markings and minimal traffic.

Schedule a service appointment only if your Cybertruck has not completed the calibration process after driving approximately 100 miles (160 km) in the described conditions.

If a camera has shifted from its previously calibrated position (for example, the camera or windshield was replaced), clear the calibration by touching Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear Calibration. When the calibration is cleared, Cybertruck repeats the calibration process.

Note
Cybertruck must repeat the calibration process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla, and in some cases after a software update.

If you attempt to use a feature that is not available until the calibration process is complete, the feature is not available and the touchscreen displays a message.
