The Cybertruck has now celebrated its first Halloween, and owners did not disappoint in coming up with clever and unique decorations for their stainless steel trunk. Make sure you’ve got whatever is left of your candy nearby cause we’re going in.

Aliens

Up in the hero image to get us started - the Cybertruck is really a piece of alien technology. At least, that’s how it appears when it first arrives in town. So, why not celebrate the alien-ness of the Cybertruck to North American roads? We love it.

Spooky

@jayvee10x over on X put together this fantastic display for Halloween and included their Cybertruck! The Cybertruck would definitely be a good vehicle of choice to take on zombies and walking skeletons.

Halo

TeslaKen over on the Cybertruck Owner’s Club forums put together this outstanding Cosplay of Master Chief from Halo, and wrapped up his Cybertruck to look like a Warthog. Probably one of the coolest costumes we’ve seen so far.

Jaws

Sometimes, all you need to do to get a scare is to show some nice sharp teeth. The smoke machine just completes the look with the red glow.

Fangs!

More Aliens

Terry Stach and Robert Martin captured some aliens in their trucks. Best to keep an eye on these ones, lest they whisk you away in their Cyber-UFO. Just watch out though, because @brandtsla over on X is being chased by that UFO!

Cyberbeast Cerberus

The Cyberbeast’s logo is the three-headed hound that guards the gates of hell - Cereberus. Turns out that S.E. Robinson let the dogs out. Our favorite, all things said. Maybe a smoke machine and some red lights to complete the look though! Oh wait, he’s got that too!

The Cybertruck makes an incredible canvas for Halloween decorations, and we’re eager to see even more creative ideas emerge as it heads into its second Halloween season next year.

Tesla Releases FSD V13.2: Adds Ability to Reverse, Start FSD from Park, Autopark at Destination and Much More

By Karan Singh
DirtyTesla/YouTube

Last night Tesla finally launched FSD V13.2 with a bevy of new features for its early access testers with update 2024.39.10. While they barely missed Thanksgiving's floaty deadline, they still managed to deliver it in November, marking another big win for the Tesla AI team.

Early Access Only

FSD V13.2 started to roll out to early access testers - who generally get hands-on with the latest builds in advance of everyone else. They’re the equivalent of Tesla’s trusted testers who aren’t running internal builds - and they’re able to catch more scenarios outside of Tesla’s pretty extensive safety training suite.

If no major issues are spotted, Tesla will begin a slow rollout to more and more vehicles over the next few weeks. Assuming all goes well with this build, it could be in most customer’s hands by Christmas.

Of course, as a reminder, FSD V13 is still limited to vehicles equipped with AI4—and for now, anything but the Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is on its own FSD branch, without access to Actually Smart Summon and Speed Profiles, but with End to End on the Highway. The Cybertruck was recently upgraded to update 2024.39.5 (FSD V12.5.5.3).

FSD V13.2 Features

Let’s take a look at everything in FSD V13.2 - which is the build version going out now on Tesla software update 2024.39.10. While we previously got a short preview of what was expected with V13, we now can see everything included in FSD V13.2.

Start FSD from Park, Reverse & Park at Destination

Parked to Parked has been the goal for FSD for quite a while now. Elon Musk has been saying that it was going to be the key to demonstrating Tesla’s autonomy framework back with the release of V12.3.6 - when V12.5 was but a glimmer in the Tesla AI team’s eye.

Now, with V13, FSD has integrated three key functionalities.

Unpark: FSD can now be started while you’re still parked. Simply set your destination and tap and hold the new Start FSD button. The car will now shift out of park and into drive or reverse in order to get to its destination.

Reverse: FSD has finally gained the ability to shift. Not only can the vehicle go into reverse now, but it can seamlessly shift between Park, Drive and Reverse all by itself. It can be perform 3-point turns.

Park: When FSD reaches its destination, it will now park itself if it finds an open parking spot near the final location. Tesla says that further improvements are coming to this, and drivers will be able to pick between pulling over, parking in a parking spot, driveway or garage in the future.

If everything goes smoothly on a drive, users will no longer need to give the vehicle any input at all, from its original location to its final parking spot. No more user intervention other than supervision is needed, unless an intervention is needed.

Full Resolution AI4 Video Input

Until now, FSD V12.5 and V12.6 have been using reduced image quality at reduced framerates to match the lower resolution and lower refresh rate provided by Hardware 3 cameras. For the first time, FSD will be using AI4’s (previously known as Hardware 4) cameras at higher resolution and 36 frames per second.

In short, that means better image quality for both training and in use and higher accuracy for things like signage and distance measurement.

Speed Profiles for All Roads

FSD V12.5.6.2 brought new and improved Speed Profiles to both city streets and highways, including the new Hurry Mode, which replaced Assertive Mode. However, on V12.5.6.2, there were a few limitations - roads needed a fairly high minimum speed limit of 50mph (80km/h) or higher. Now, that’s no more. City Streets has speed profiles for all speed limits now.

It’s that time of year again - it's getting colder, the snow might be falling, and the bells are probably jingling. And you know what that means? It’s time to find some holiday gifts for that someone special in your life.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting to a friend, we’ve put together a guide to help you decide.

S3XY Buttons & Stalks

Aren't they S3XY?

One of the coolest accessories for your Tesla is, hands-down, the S3XY Buttons. Using them alongside the Enhauto commander that comes in the kit can give you a massive amount of new customizability and control over your vehicle.

You can set a command for each button like folding your vehicle’s mirrors, or turn on/off your seat heater, but you can also control certain options Tesla doesn’t currently offer, like manually preconditioning your battery.

Sadly, these aren’t compatible with the Cybertruck just yet, but Enhauto rolled out a new set of features for the 2024 Model 3 Highland, which uses the ambient light strips to warn you about traffic or other situations.

We also recently covered the launch of Enhauto’s new S3XY Stalks, which add stalks back to the new Model 3 and 2021+ Model S and X.

Jowua Controllers

Jowua makes a lot of fantastic Tesla accessories, but one of our favorites is their Tesla Controllers. You can get just the controller or a bundle. They’re comfortable to hold, the buttons are clicky and responsive, and they’re compatible with both your Tesla and your PC at home.

They’re multi-purpose, and the latest generation controllers can recharge on your Tesla’s wireless chargers too.

Use coupon code “NotATeslaApp” for an additional discount.

Abstract Ocean Hydrophobic Camera Covers

Abstract Ocean also makes many accessories, but if we had to choose one that stands out, it's their Hydrophobic Camera Covers. They go over the rear camera of your vehicle and help keep mud, grime, and water off the lens. 

As a note, the new camera lip that’s been shipping with the Model Y since about September will interfere with the mounting of these covers, so if you have the new camera lip, these aren’t compatible yet.

We’ve linked the one for the Model 3 and Model Y above, but they also have versions for the Cybertruck, Model S, and Model X.

Tesbros focuses on customization and cleaning, and they’ve got a lot of wraps. They've got everything you need to DIY wrap your vehicle, including interior and exterior wraps. So, if you want to wrap your vehicle or put on some carbon-fiber-like wraps on your dash, they’ve got what you need there. Check out their interior wraps here.

Tuxmat Custom-fit Mats

Perfect fit.

Tuxmat makes custom-fit mats for vehicles - and they’re very high quality. They’re resistant to water, mud, salt, and whatever else you want to throw at them. They clip in seamlessly to your vehicle and look factory installed.

If you’re looking for a set of mats that will last, these took a lot of punishment in the author’s Model Y, and are still going nearly three years later without any wear or tear. Take a look at their mats at this link.

3D Spider Mats

Super sleek, super resistant, super affordable.

Another option in the mats department is 3D Spider. Rather than the fabric-like feeling of the Tuxmats, 3D Spider offers thicker mats that will fit your vehicle nearly as well. They’re also a fair bit cheaper than Tuxmat. They make an excellent choice if budget is on your mind, and they’re nearly just as resistant as the Tuxmats above.

In terms of price-to-performance, these are some of the best Tesla mats you can get on the market - here’s a link to their store, but you can also buy them on Amazon.

T-Sportline Cybertruck Offroad Lightbar

A fantastic third-party lightbar option - without being permanent.

The Cyberbeast’s off-road lightbar is taking a long time to ship—and there are plenty of AWD owners who want one, too. T-Sportline makes an off-road lightbar that mounts to the roof in a similar position as the OEM lightbar but without the glue on the windshield.

They also sell a quick disconnect and an L-rack mount, which means you can pull it off quickly and store it safely in the back of your truck when you’re not offroading. If you’re interested, shine your lights at this link.

Durable Sentry SSD

Waterproof, heatproof, coldproof, and dustproof. It'll survive it all!

If you’re looking for a Sentry SSD that’s got greater capacity than the 128GB one that comes with your Tesla, look no further than the Samsung T7 Shield. It’s a rugged SSD that can withstand both heat and cold and is available in a 1TB, 2TB, or even 4TB capacity. They’re also sold directly on Amazon, making buying them easy.

Rally Armor Mud Flaps

They look sleek and protect more than the OEM flaps!

The Tesla mud flaps can come off easily if you’re taking your vehicle down a rough dirt road or even in heavy snow. Rally Armor’s mud flaps are some of the best in the business - they’re flexible, solidly attached, and will keep your car from getting any dings from rocks or gravel flying up. Check them out on Amazon.

Touchscreen Protectors

Super easy to install, and you and you can get them in matte or gloss!

The touchscreen in your car is the primary means to interact with it. If you or your passenger accidentally smash a phone into it, trying to drop it on the wireless charger, it's a pretty penny to get it fixed.

Instead of taking the risk, a tempered glass screen protector—available in matte or gloss—will help. The best part? They’ll keep those pesky fingerprints off, too, so you won’t have to wipe down that display as often.

Keep your display safe - grab a screen protector here.

Car Cleaning

A fantastic starter kit for any Tesla!

If you or the Tesla owner in your life always gets out of your car and turns around to admire it, well, it better be clean. Car cleaning kits that come with rags, microfiber cloths, and all the chemicals you’ll need are a handy solution to getting that shine back on your ride.

If that’s not their style, go ahead and get them a car wash card for a local touchless car wash. They’ll appreciate it, and so will their Tesla.

We recommend this kit - it comes with all the basics and won’t break your wallet. You can add to it with a foam cannon and more tools as needed. You can buy it directly on Amazon.

Key Rings

A fantastic backup option.

Tesla’s keycards are cool—nobody makes car keys this stylish. But what if you wanted something more convenient? You can also get a ring that will serve as an NFC key—it’ll act just like a keycard. Simply tap your knuckle on your car to get in, and then swipe your hand near the interior card reader to get going.

They’re waterproof, don’t require charging, and are a fantastic backup for when you leave your wallet and your phone in your car. Trust me, it’s worth it! Here’s a link to their site. We’ve also got a 5% Referral Code: FRIEND-QTS4D5R

Tesla Shop

Of course, we saved this one for last. Tesla’s official shop has a lot of awesome stuff, from accessories for your vehicle to accessories for yourself.

If you’re aiming for some fantastic gifts, we highly recommend the scale models - they’re all really high quality and are fantastic display pieces. The author has a scale Cybertruck on their office desk.
