Tesla Overview Guide
The touchscreen displays the status of Cybertruck at all times. What you see depends on whether the vehicle is:
- Parked
- Driving
- Charging
When Cybertruck is parked, the status area shows the drive mode, estimated range, suspension height and available adjustments, and an exterior view of the vehicle with buttons you can touch to open the tonneau cover, tailgate, powered frunk, and charge port door.
When you press the brake pedal, Cybertruck powers up and indicator lights flash briefly. Unless an indicator light applies to the current situation (for example, a seat belt is not fastened), it should turn off. If an indicator light fails to turn on or off, schedule a service appointment.
Cards
The bottom of the vehicle status display also shows shortcut “Cards” for quick access to Media, tyre pressure data, trip information, and more. Swipe the cards to the left or right to customize your card shortcuts.
Indicator Lights
The following indicator lights illuminate to advise or alert you of a specific status or condition.

If Cybertruck is plugged in, you can heat your Battery by turning on climate control with the mobile app. This icon disappears when the Battery is sufficiently warm.
Vehicle Hold is actively applying the brakes. See Vehicle Hold

Driving Status
When Cybertruck is driving (or ready to drive), the touchscreen shows your current driving status and real-time visualization of the road as detected by the Autopilot components (see Cameras on. The visualization automatically zooms in and out to better utilize touchscreen space and inform you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
The touchscreen also shows the following:
- Total estimated driving distance (or energy) available. You can toggle between driving distance and the percentage of Battery energy remaining by touching the displayed value. You can also change how energy is displayed by touching Controls > Display > Energy Display. When anticipating when you need to charge, use range estimates as a general guideline only.
- Currently selected drive mode: Park, Reverse, Neutral, or Drive (see Shifting.
- Driving speed.
- The speed limit that is currently being detected by Speed Assist (see Speed Assist on ). The icon associated with the detected speed limit reflects the style of speed limit signs used in your market region.
- Other cars detected on the road (as applicable).
- Your Cybertruck. Coloured lines radiate from the image of your Cybertruck as objects are detected (other motorists, guard rails, etc.). The location of the lines corresponds to the location of the detected object. The colour of the lines (white, yellow, orange, or red) represents the object’s proximity to Cybertruck, with white being the farthest and red being very close and requiring your immediate attention.
WARNING: Pay attention to important alert messages that are displayed at the bottom of the vehicle status area of the touchscreen. Ignoring these messages can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING: Although the touchscreen shows surrounding traffic, some vehicles may not be displayed. Never rely on the detected displayed vehicles to determine if a vehicle is present (for example, in your blind spot). Always use your mirrors and perform shoulder checks.
