Tesla Launches FSD for the Cybertruck With Update 2024.32.20 (FSD 12.5.5) [VIDEO]

BLKMDL3

Tesla has finally released Full Self-Driving for the Cybertruck to Tesla employees and Early Access Testers with update 2024.32.20. This update was sent to employees earlier today and has just gone out to early access testers. We received confirmation from an employee that the vehicle indeed has FSD enabled for the first time.

Tesla's Cybertruck has been without any ADAS software since its launch, and owners have been putting the distance on them anyway, driving manually. The only option currently available is TACC—or Traffic-Aware Cruise Control. TACC on the Cybertruck Foundation Series does come with traffic controls enabled, so it will slow and stop for stop signs, red lights, and pedestrian crossings.

Cybertruck FSD

With no FSD or Autosteer, many owners have been disappointed that one of the main things they paid for in the Foundation Series package has been unavailable to date. Tesla announced in their FSD roadmap that the Cybertruck would receive FSD in September 2024. The Cybertruck did receive Autopark and Park Assist recently, but there was no indication that it would receive FSD until just now.

With this employee, we’ve confirmed that their vehicle is on update 2024.32.20 and that their release notes are watermarked as Tesla continues to crack down on leaks.

Tesla doesn’t allow employee vehicles to have 3^rd-party connections, but with the update going out to early access testers, we now have access to the release notes for the update. This update also includes support for sunglasses with attention monitoring, which was introduced in FSD 12.5.4, and the brand-new end-to-end for highway driving that’s new in this update.

When Will It Arrive?

We expect FSD for Cybertruck to hit other customers soon now that it's on the wider set of early-access vehicles. However, Tesla did add this to the release notes, which may point to a longer wait:

“Note: This is an early access build. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.”

We hope it won’t take more than a week or two for it to reach other Foundation-Series Cybertruck owners. Cybertruck’s software update cadence has been faster than Tesla’s usual pipeline, so hopefully, the wait won’t be long.

Since this build is now based on update 2024.32, we expect the next FSD update for all vehicles to also be on update 2024.32 and introduce the 2024.32 Tesla features to everyone on the FSD track.
