He Tesla cyber truck is getting new software features to improve off-road performance, which could help turn the electric pickup truck into a more trail-ready vehicle. some owners seem to want.
According to the official Cybertruck account on
Offroad mode and more updates coming soon
This is what's coming…

Overland mode and Baja mode alter the vehicle's characteristics for different terrain, as do off-road driving modes already available from several manufacturers. Overland mode is designed to maximize traction on rock, gravel, deep snow or sand, while Baja mode reduces stability control for more dynamic handling on loose surfaces. Another novelty is the Trail Assist that maintains the vehicle at a certain speed, even when going up and down slopes.
Cybertrucks with all-wheel drive and dual motors will be able to activate their front and rear locking differentials thanks to the software update. The three-motor Cyberbeast will also be able to do this with the front locking differential, but will simulate a rear locker via software with the two rear motors.

A slippery surface mode will also temporarily lock the rear differential on two-motor trucks (virtually simulated on three-motor trucks) if traction is particularly poor on pavement. New programming for the Cybertruck's adaptive suspension will also allow it to measure payloads more accurately and adjust them to compensate. And Tesla is also adding a self-leveling feature to the camping suspension, similar to what Rivian introduced to its R1 models in a previous software update.
Tesla is also in the midst of a Cybertruck recall to address pedal parts that could slip and jam the accelerator. causing unintentional acceleration. That recall applied to fewer than 4,000 vehicles, indicating that few Cybertrucks have actually been delivered.
