Tesla has once again proven with the update 2025.8.4 that customer satisfaction is a top priority. This update brings two significant innovations for the Cybertruck: an improved steer-by-wire technology and a new in-app feature for remote control of the air suspension.
New Remote Suspension Control via App
From now on, Cybertruck owners can conveniently adjust the height of their air suspension via the Tesla app. This function, available through the menu item Controls > Ride Height, allows you to choose between four preset heights – High, Medium, Low, and Entry.
-
Practical for Off-Road and Loading Operations:
Do you want to prepare the Cybertruck for off-road adventures or ease the loading area? With the remote suspension, you can adjust the vehicle to your needs without having to get into the vehicle. -
Software Requirement:
This feature is part of the update 2025.8 and requires the Tesla app version 4.42.5 or higher.
Improved Steer-by-Wire Technology
The update optimizes the steer-by-wire system of the Cybertruck. Unlike conventional steering systems, which have mechanical connections, the driving experience is refined through software-controlled feedback:
-
Realistic Steering Feel:
The steering wheel now provides more precise and realistic feedback that dynamically adapts to different road conditions. -
Goal for the Future:
These improvements are intended not only to optimize the current Cybertruck but also to be incorporated into future Tesla models.
Further Desired Features
Although the update already brings many improvements, there are still wishes from Cybertruck owners:
-
Single-Sided Lowering of the Suspension:
In service mode, it is currently possible to lower either the front or rear air suspension separately to facilitate loading or unloading. -
Expansion of Steering Limits:
Currently, the Cybertruck can steer up to 7 degrees, but the actual limit is between 10 and 14 degrees. An extension of the rear-wheel steering could further reduce the turning circle.
Summary and Outlook
The Tesla Cybertruck Update 2025.8.4 enhances your driving experience through the introduction of remote control air suspension and an optimized steer-by-wire technology. These innovations not only provide more comfort but also greater flexibility for individual driving situations. With its continuous pursuit of innovation, Tesla shows that it listens to customer desires and consistently strives to connect technology and user-friendliness.
