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 function was lacking from these vehicles – Tesla’s much-ballyhooed Full Self-Driving (FSD) software program.
Earlier automobiles 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 automobiles have comparatively comparable sizes, sensor suites and management mechanisms as different Tesla automobiles, that means there aren’t a number of modifications wanted to the software program to make them work.
The Cybertruck, nonetheless, is sort 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 function. Tesla was blissful to promote FSD entry to homeowners, however it got here with an asterisk that the driver-assist system couldn’t be activated till additional discover from Tesla.
Nicely, now that point is right here, and Cybertrucks lastly have entry to the software program they’ve been ready for. Nicely, a few of them do, anyway.
In response to a publish on cybertruckownersclub discussion board, some customers have began gaining access to FSD (Supervised) as of immediately, with the 2024.32.20 replace.
This replace is labeled as “early entry,” which signifies 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 undecided when a wider launch of the software program will occur for different Cybertruck homeowners, however 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 out there. At the moment, most Tesla vehicles 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, effectively, “biggest“).
We haven’t seen movies of Cybertruck FSD in motion but, however there are certain to be many popping out within the coming hours displaying how the truck does with its new software program.
Initially of this month, Tesla had promised that Cybertruck would get FSD by the top of September – so, delivery it now, to sure early entry homeowners, simply barely a couple of full day earlier than the month is over technically matches that timeline. Nonetheless, most homeowners must wait a bit longer than the promised timeline.
In that very same announcement, Tesla stated that FSD would acquire extra capabilities and that model 13 shall be launched subsequent month, which ought to enhance the variety of miles vital 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 shall be out there in China and in Europe within the first quarter of subsequent 12 months, although these are each depending on regulatory approval, which may take longer.
