Tesla CEO Elon Musk says they and Uber could partner on new Cybercab Robotaxi deployment

The Tesla AI team successfully rolled out FSD (Supervised) for the Cybertruck this weekend. While the system has mostly been released to company employees and early access testers, the first videos of FSD (Supervised) V12.5.5 on the Cybertruck are starting to get shared online. Based on comments from Cybertruck owners so far, it would appear that FSD (Supervised) is working fairly well on the all-electric pickup truck.

Tesla Director of Autopilot Software Ashok Elluswamy noted in a post on social media platform X that the Cybertruck is the first Tesla to receive end-to-end highway driving. Release notes shared online also revealed that the Cybertruck’s FSD came with vision-based attention monitoring with sunglasses.

Among the Tesla community members whose Cybertrucks received the FSD (Supervised) update are longtime Full Self-Driving testers Whole Mars Catalog and Dirty Tesla, both of whom have been testing the advanced driver-assist system for years. Based on the two FSD veterans, it appears that the Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system features a number of interesting characteristics.

During a drive from Beverly Hills to Santa Monica in California, longtime FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog observed that the Cybertruck’s FSD system behaved just like FSD in Tesla’s other vehicles, though it needs more tuning for the larger size of the all-electric pickup truck. The Cybertruck owner also noted that FSD (Supervised) was able to make tight lane changes properly, but the system does not work in trailer mode yet.

Fellow Tesla owner @BLKMDL3, who was with the longtime FSD tester during the Cybertruck FSD (Supervised) drive, observed that the visuals on the vehicle’s infotainment display were extremely smooth. He also noted that the Cybertruck’s FSD system displayed some smooth turning and breaking behaviors. The vehicle, however, reportedly moved a bit slow on the highway, and there were some quirks that needed ironing out.

FSD veteran Dirty Tesla, for his part, opted to test the Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system during a nighttime drive in Michigan. The Tesla owner observed that corrections using the Cybertruck’s steer-by-wire system were very natural and smooth. He also observed that the vehicle was able to stay in lane, perform lane changes, and exit the highway fairly well. The vehicle, however, did require a few interventions during the drive.

Overall, the Tesla Cybertruck’s FSD (Supervised) system seems to be a pretty solid update to the all-electric pickup truck, though it is understandable that it is still only being released to early access testers. Considering how good this initial FSD (Supervised) version is on the Cybertruck, however, it would be very exciting to see just how much better the vehicle’s advanced driver-assist system could get in the coming months.
