So here you go.So I can see a few things you would want to turn off when towing. Its the same menu page, just scrolled down. Mostly self explanatory.

We have had a few cases of phantom braking caused by who knows what. The car sees something we don't, or a bag floating across the road etc. Nothing that would cause problems in a car, but a truck pulling a trailer?....hmmmmmmmm.

Indeed, unless Cybertruck is so technologically advanced that it can be set up for towing and can react accordingly to it's unique driving and handling, lol.

Tesla would of course assume that not a few buyers will be using it for towing trailers and would have a section on the manual for it. Curious what unique features will be on it.

Did you buy the autopilot option and turned it on?

My daughter I think was told she have it on her Tesla X but have not activated it.

There is often some confusion over the term “autopilot”. All Tesla’s come standard with autopilot at no extra cost except the off menu 35,000 standard range model 3. The driver must enable it and read all the disclosure statements etc. Autopilot is simply autosteer coupled with TACC which is traffic aware cruise control. TACC is cruise control that keeps the distance to a vehicle in front of you etc. It does react to GPS based speed limits etc, slows down for corners etc. Works very well as long as there are lines on the road.

FSD or full self drive has to be paid for and then turned on. It gives you features like stopping at all stop signs, stop lights etc, automatic passing/lane changing, navigation on autopilot which makes all the turns for you when a destination is given, on ramps, off ramps, merging etc, smart summons, auto parking etc. Yes we have it. It works fairly good but is still in beta. It needs supervision but overall makes for a more relaxing drive. And it gets better every download.

Hope that helps.
