Wi-Fi is available as a data connection method and is often faster than cellular data networks. Connecting to Wi-Fi is especially useful in areas with limited or no cellular connectivity. To ensure fast, reliable delivery of software and map updates, Tesla recommends leaving Cybertruck connected to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible (for example, when parked at home).

To connect to a Wi-Fi network:

1. Touch Controls > Wi-Fi. Cybertruck begins to scan and display detected Wi-Fi networks that are within range.
   Note

   If a known Wi-Fi network does not appear in the list, move Cybertruck closer to the access point or consider using a range extender.
   Note

   When connecting to a 5GHz network (if available), check which channels are supported in your region.
2. Find and tap the the Wi-Fi network you want to use in Searching for Wi-Fi Networks or add it manually in Add Wi-Fi Networks, enter the password (if necessary), then touch Confirm. When successfully connected, the Wi-Fi network shows in Known Wi-Fi Networks along with a green check. Whenever the network is within range, Cybertruck connects to it automatically.
   Note

   Cybertruck does not currently support connections to captive Wi-Fi networks (a captive Wi-Fi, commonly used by public hotspots, requires you to access a custom web portal and agree to terms of service prior to allowing you to log in).
