Buyers who paid at least $93,990 to first own (and beta test) a Tesla Cybertruck will finally get a key promised feature: Full Self-Driving (FSD). It will be. There are several people on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, including Angelenos. I posted a video — says that early access is finally available to some users. Electrek Reported.
After Tesla promised to deliver FSD to Cybertrucks in September, the supervised version 12.5.5 v12 (the latest available) is now shipping, but only to users of the early access program. Based on Tesla’s previous FSD history, this means that this feature (included in the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation package) will not be available to most buyers for at least another month.
According to the video above by Cybertruck Owner’s Club forum user espresso-drumbeat, the FSD worked smoothly for the short time shown. The vehicle traveled through the city, then onto a freeway ramp and arrived on Interstate 5 toward Los Angeles. All were in the evening with relatively little traffic.
According to the update description, FSD (surveillance) v12 includes vision-based attention monitoring using sunglasses, consolidating cities and highways into a single software stack. In other words, it’s the first version to fully manage your driving using end-to-end AI.
FSD has been a long time coming, as Cybertruck deliveries first began 10 months ago. A recent test by independent automotive inspection group AMCI found that Tesla’s FSD can only travel an average of 13 miles before requiring human intervention.
Elon Musk lately promised Unsupervised autonomous driving will be a reality by the end of 2025, a claim he has been making for nearly a decade, but it hasn’t happened yet. But the company is under more pressure than ever as it plans to unveil a robotaxi product that relies on FSD on October 10th.
