Tesla's Full Self-Driving is now available for some Cybertrucks

Buyers who paid at least $93,990 to be among the first to own Tesla's Cybertruck (and beta test it) are finally getting a key, promised feature: Full Self-Driving (FSD). Several people on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum — including an Angeleno who posted a video — say it has finally arrived in Early Access for select users. Electrics reported.

After Tesla promised that FSD would arrive at Cybertrucks in September, the monitored version 12.5.5 v12 (the latest version available) is shipping, but only for users in the Early Access program. This means that the feature (included in the Tesla Cybertruck Foundation package) will not be available to most buyers for at least another month, based on Tesla's previous FSD history.

According to the video above from Cybertruck Owner's Club forum user espresso-drumbeat, FSD worked smoothly in the short time it was shown. It took the vehicle through an urban area and then onto a freeway ramp before arriving on I5 toward LA, all in relatively light evening traffic.

According to the update description, FSD (Supervised) v12 includes vision-based attention monitoring with sunglasses and combines city and highway in a single software stack. In other words, it is the first version to fully manage driving using end-to-end AI.

The first Cybertruck deliveries began 10 months ago, so FSD has been a long time coming. Recent testing by independent automotive testing group AMCI found that Tesla's FSD can travel an average of just 13 miles before requiring human intervention.

Elon Musk recently promised to enable unattended autonomous driving by the end of 2025, but he's been saying this for almost 10 years and it's still not here. However, the pressure is now greater than ever as the company is set to unveil its FSD-dependent Robotaxi product on October 10th.
