Published availability and qualifications
Verified for 2025 Cybertruck configurations equipped with the powered tonneau; hardware and controls vary by configuration and manufacture date.
Know what kind of control to look for.
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
Unlock Cybertruck, shift to Park and clear hands, cargo, dirt and debris from both tonneau tracks.
- 02
Fully press and release the exterior Open or Close switch for a complete cycle; press a second time to pause.
- 03
For a partial position, press lightly and release at the desired opening.
- 04
If the cover will not complete a cycle, wait, clean the tracks and follow the touchscreen Calibrate prompt when it appears.
- 05
For manual calibration, hold Open until fully open and stalled, then hold Close until fully closed and stalled; verify the final position before walking away.
Important limits
- Keep hands and objects away from the moving cover and tracks; obstacle detection cannot prevent every injury or damage event.
- Do not place objects on the cover or allow debris into its tracks.
- The tonneau locks in its current open or closed position when Walk-Away Door Lock engages.
Quick checks.
- ✓Confirm the truck is unlocked and in Park.
- ✓Remove debris or obstructions and wait several minutes before retrying.
- ✓Use Calibrate only when offered or follow the documented hold-open/hold-close sequence; schedule service if the problem remains.
