Some Cybertrucks can lastly use Tesla’s Supervised Full Self-Driving software program, virtually precisely ten months after the automobile was first launched.
After many delays and far anticipation, the first Tesla Cybertruck deliveries occurred on November 30, 2023.
Nonetheless, one characteristic was lacking from these automobiles – Tesla’s much-ballyhooed Full Self-Driving (FSD) software program.
Earlier autos launched by Tesla, just like the Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y, have had entry to fashionable variations of Tesla’s Autopilot or FSD software program instantly upon launch. Nonetheless, these autos have comparatively related sizes, sensor suites and management mechanisms as different Tesla autos, which means there aren’t quite a lot of modifications wanted to the software program to make them work.
The Cybertruck, nonetheless, is kind of totally different than some other automobile Tesla has made – or some other automobile on the street, for that matter.
So, when the Cybertruck first got here out, it was notably lacking entry to this main characteristic. Tesla was pleased to promote FSD entry to house owners, nevertheless it got here with an asterisk that the driver-assist system couldn’t be activated till additional discover from Tesla.
Properly, now that point is right here, and Cybertrucks lastly have entry to the software program they’ve been ready for. Properly, a few of them do, anyway.
In line with a put up on cybertruckownersclub discussion board, some customers have began having access to FSD (Supervised) as of in the present day, with the 2024.32.20 replace.
This replace is labeled as “early entry,” which implies that solely a subset of homeowners who’ve been invited into the early entry program may have entry to it in the interim. We’re unsure when a wider launch of the software program will occur for different Cybertruck house owners, nevertheless it needs to be a while within the subsequent a number of weeks.
It’s additionally labeled as FSD 12.5.5, which is the latest model of FSD accessible. At the moment, most Tesla automobiles are on FSD 12.5.4 – so these early-access Cybertrucks aren’t caught on an previous model, however as a substitute are getting the newest and biggest (or, properly, “biggest“).
The primary movies of Cybertrucks with FSD are beginning to leak out, with this discussion board put up seeming to be absolutely the first on the web, thus far.
There are certain to be many extra hitting the web within the coming hours exhibiting how the truck does with its new software program.
Whereas full FSD functionality is new, Cybertrucks did get entry to autopark earlier this month.
In the beginning of this month, Tesla had promised that Cybertruck would get full FSD by the top of September – so, delivery it now, to sure early entry house owners, simply barely a couple of full day earlier than the month is over technically matches that timeline. Nonetheless, most house owners should wait just a little longer than the promised timeline.
In that very same announcement, Tesla stated that FSD would achieve extra capabilities and that model 13 might be launched subsequent month, which ought to improve the variety of miles obligatory between interventions. Final week, an impartial evaluation concluded that FSD can solely go 13 miles between interventions on common, so there’s loads of enchancment available in that respect.
Tesla additionally stated that FSD might be accessible in China and in Europe within the first quarter of subsequent yr, although these are each depending on regulatory approval, which may take longer.
