This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Plan the route, verify range and weather, secure occupants/cargo and remove vulnerable wheel covers or fairings as Tesla directs.
- 02
Leave public roads, stop and shift into Park before changing the off-road drive mode.
- 03
Open the Off-Road app, read the warning and touch Confirm.
- 04
Choose Overland for low-speed traction or Rally for appropriate higher-speed dirt-road use, then match terrain, ride height and differential settings to conditions.
- 05
Before returning to pavement, restore road tire pressures and normal drive settings and confirm the tonneau/cargo are secure.
Important limits
- Off-Road modes change acceleration, braking and stability behavior and are not for public roads.
- TPMS thresholds can be lowered in off-road modes and do not replace manual tire-pressure checks.
- Tesla recommends fully opening the tonneau for dynamic off-road driving and notes off-road damage is not warranty-covered.
Quick checks.
- ✓If a mode is unavailable, shift to Park and confirm the vehicle has the required configuration.
- ✓For low-speed obstacles, use the appropriate ride height and terrain selection rather than forcing the truck forward.
- ✓Clean mud from the vehicle and cooling areas promptly after the trail.
