Despite Tesla's groundbreaking launch of the Cybertruck nearly a year ago, the vehicle still lacks a crucial feature – Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology.
Many buyers, who were eagerly anticipating the rollout of FSD, are still waiting for the update, which remains unavailable despite Tesla's earlier promises.
As Forbes writes, the FSD is seen as a key part of Tesla’s vision for the future of autonomous vehicles.
Elon Musk and the company had assured Cybertruck owners that the technology would be included in the version 12.5 software update, but it has yet to be implemented.

This delay has frustrated many owners, especially since Tesla’s other models already have FSD and similar technologies are available in competitor vehicles.
One Cybertruck owner expressed disappointment over the absence of Autopilot, a feature standard in many Tesla models, which offers automated lane centering.
Although the Cybertruck has received an Autopark feature, the lack of Autopilot leaves a significant gap in its capabilities.
Why the Delay?
Part of the delay may stem from the unique challenges the Cybertruck’s design presents.
Its large, wedge-shaped structure and specialized sensors have required additional adaptation of the FSD software, slowing the rollout.
The company’s "We, Robot" event in October 2024 is expected to be a possible platform for the long-awaited FSD update, but until then, Cybertruck owners will need to wait.
