Background to the topic

The aim is to give Cybertruck drivers concrete recommendations for action so that they don't get stuck unnecessarily in winter.

The 10 tips for Cybertruck drivers in the snow

  • Raise the ride height: A higher ground clearance can prevent your vehicle from getting stuck in the snow.
  • Use the dynamic mode for slippery surfaces: This mode adapts the traction control to winter conditions.
  • Activate the rear limited-slip differential in dynamic mode: This improves the traction of the rear wheels.
  • Activate all locking differentials in off-road mode: Full activation can help you overcome difficult passages.
  • Set the off-road crawl control to 1 mph: This function works particularly effectively in sand, but takes a little time to help in snow.
  • Select the off-road surface mode for deep snow: This allows the wheels to spin and gain traction, even if it's not always enough to free you completely.
  • Reduce the air pressure in the tires: This increases the contact area, which improves traction.
  • Use traction boards or snow chains: These aids support driving out of deep snow or sand.
  • Dig paths in front of the tires: A prepared path can make it much easier to get out.
  • Get support with a tow rope: A friend can give you the momentum you need to get back on course.
