New "trailer profile" for each trailer in latest software update

zeusss · Jan 24, 2025

This is something I've been looking forward to since launch. I wonder if fsd will one day account for a trailer and actually work with a trailer?

And dimensions and tongue & wheel position for software-aided backing!

Still need to be able to disengage rear steer.

Why would you want to do that?

All wheel steering is better for towing in all regards. The initial adjustment to the difference is needed but after you've got it it's good.

I've towed a lot and it's a game changer. Especially in tight spaces.

Is this only available with the new software update or does it appear once trailer mode is engaged?

Can you let me know if it works with FSD? It may help me with the problem I brought up in my own thread (https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...-when-4-pin-trailer-cable-is-connected.35075/)

It's in software:
v12 (2024.45.32.5 193db94d3a14)

I'll probably tow something Tuesday. I'll play with it and see what it allows. I'm assuming it won't since they haven't accomplished unsupervised driving yet but who knows.. I've been a Tesla owner for 7 years and nothing surprises me in that regard anymore. ?

Also it doesn't require you to be in tow mode to see those options.

100% agree.

Agreed: At higher speeds, having the ability for all 4 wheels to steer in the same direction will help the truck glide between lanes and really reduce (if not eliminate) trailer sway as a result.

Interesting...I never thought about how it might reduce trailer sway at high speeds.

I'm curious if reversing with a trailer that doesn't have a backup light will still cause a "red trailer icon."

A trailer without backup lights?

Where do you get one of those (and why would you want that)?

Even if you had a trailer without backup lights, why would you care if it caused a "red trailer icon" to display?

So many questions, so little time!

Trailers with 4 pin connectors don't have backup lights...
