Why does Cybertruck ride height HIGH drops to MEDIUM after 25mph

[Cyber526]

Hey team! Quick question: why does the Cybertruck automatically revert to the medium position past 25mph? Driving it in Full High is such a thrill, but it's frustrating to lose that option. Any insights?

It's probably due the amount of suspension travel and the possibility of breaking something if you hit too big a bump.

A couple days ago I found that I can totally deflate my air suspension on my X and drop it like a low rider.

Was very scary lol I didn't know if I would be able to get it back up. I wonder if CT can do that. I did get it up though ?

You can't. Medium is the highest setting you can drive it in past 25mph.

I believe its because the highest setting causes wheel camber that will cause uneven wear on your tires at higher speeds.

It’s for safety and protection of the driver — so they don’t look like a dork ?

You can put the Cybertruck in Off-Road mode. Then "High" is available at higher speeds.

This is right on the money, one of the YouTubers had a snap in flooring and the Cybertruck buckled the flooring as it raised because of the positive camber when they had it lift to extraction mode.

What that would do it, several other things might as well (such as turning the wheels slightly)

Can u share link to that vid? Seems hard to believe the CT has that much flex.

The CT didn't flex, the plastic flooring under it did.
