If one wanted, they could strap a high pressure nitrogen tank in the bed with a 15 bar regulator and do down ups...We just need a compressor upgrade…..hell a compressor that can make it from entry to extract without overheating 4 times would be great too
Oh... full suspension light show mode...

Yes I did the 1.21 Jigawatts Easter egg in my Model 3 years ago and saved a screen shot, I will see if I can find it.
I was referring to the suspension stress/durability. The truck gives a warning when selecting off-road and extract mode. The axles pull out of the gearbox and hubs pretty far when the truck is fully up, so Tesla limits speed. Having had five half shaft replacements on our ‘29 MX, I am a bit gunshy about the half shafts and CV joint durability - Tesla has never been able to solve the MX durability problem despite being on their third part number for the MX half shafts - the techs told me that the angles are too acute at suspension extremes to be able to handle the high torque. The CT’s extract mode is putting the half shaft angles in a super-extreme mode.
Yes, it’s possible but only through the service menu. No secret swipey cheat code.
It’s always been possible through the service menu but is harmful to the suspension. Driving this way would be a foolish thing to do with a $100k car.
Well. The kid in you makes an income now and can do whatever they want.The kid in me is now wanting to do this, especially after a "don't try this at home" disclaimer

Please be sure to film and post so we can all live vicariously through your heroism.
….. yes. You can. I know how to, too.I'll think about it
A dumber thought came to mind too: Since this does seem real and all, I wonder if I can also remove the "speed limit" from service mode, which under normal conditions you can, and then drive this at say 30-50 km/h; that's 20-30 mph for the folks in the States.
This would put Cybertruck in the same realm as Hummer's Crab Walk or Mercedes' Bumpin' n' Bounin' stunt.
Thank you for the detailed explanation
Right, my question was whether entry is required to clear the hitch, that's 8 inches of height difference. I dropped/ picked up a trailer by going between high and entry which is 4.5 inches. Trailer balls are shorter than that.I was referring to the suspension stress/durability. The truck gives a warning when selecting off-road and extract mode. The axles pull out of the gearbox and hubs pretty far when the truck is fully up, so Tesla limits speed. Having had five half shaft replacements on our ‘29 MX, I am a bit gunshy about the half shafts and CV joint durability - Tesla has never been able to solve the MX durability problem despite being on their third part number for the MX half shafts - the techs told me that the angles are too acute at suspension extremes to be able to handle the high torque. The CT’s extract mode is putting the half shaft angles in a super-extreme mode.
My trailer loading method is to park the trailer with the CT’s suspension at the “very high” setting. I adjust the trailer jack down to the ground level, then uncouple the tongue, and drop the suspension to “entry” and drive forward. Upon returning to recouple, I put the car in Entry suspension height again, drive the ball under the coupler, and switch to “off road” mode and “extract” height, which picks the trailer up, with the trailer jack slightly off the ground. I then hook up the electrics, chains, breakaway brake cable and latch the ball, flip the jack up, put the suspension mode back to normal, and drive away.
This method allows me to avoid cranking the trailer jack up or down, ever - just use the truck’s suspension travel to execute both ends of the hitching process. However, I do it a lot, so am pushing the suspension’s extremes all the time. The warning reads “Extract Mode is not for normal or high-speed driving due to stability and potential damage to the suspension components.” What would that damage be?
