Tesla Cybertruck Gets Slippery Surface Mode

New driving mode aims to improve traction on low-friction surfaces.

Tesla has introduced a Slippery Surface Mode for the Cybertruck, according to a report from Not a Tesla App.

What Happened

The feature appears in Tesla's vehicle settings and is designed to adjust power delivery and traction control for driving on low-friction surfaces such as snow, ice, or mud. Details about specific software version requirements or rollout timing were not available in the source material.

Why It Matters

Off-road and winter driving capability has been a key consideration for truck buyers. Adding a dedicated slippery surface mode gives Cybertruck owners another tool for challenging conditions without requiring hardware modifications. This follows Tesla's pattern of adding drive modes through over-the-air updates rather than requiring new vehicle purchases.

The Bottom Line

Tesla continues to refine the Cybertruck's software-based capabilities. Owners should check their vehicle settings for the new mode, which appears to be rolling out via software update.
