For some folks, driving around the Cybertruck isn’t a possibility just yet, as it's still restricted to those who placed orders early, are willing to buy the Foundation Series and are located in the United States.
But until you can get your hands on the Cybertruck you can drive it in both Fortnite and Rocket League – two popular video games.
Summer Road Trip Quest
In Fortnite, the Cybertruck will be available in the classic stainless-steel finish and is part of the Summer Road Trip Quest. You’ll have to complete 9 distinct sub-quests in total to receive the Cybertruck in-game. The good news is that it won’t cost you anything, but you’ll definitely have to put some time in to earn the electric truck. The Cybertruck will become available as an in-app purchase later, but the unique graffiti skin will be exclusive to the Summer Road Trip Quest.
Similarly in Rocket League, you’ll also need to complete the Summer Road Trip Quest, which once again has 9 sub-quests to complete. Completing the quest fully in either game will earn you the Cybertruck in both games, along with the unique Baja Off-Road decal.
If you can’t complete the tasks, you’ll be able to purchase the Cybertruck after August 6th when it becomes available as an in-app purchase.

Wraps/Decals
In addition to the default stainless steel skin and the Baja Off-Road decal, there are also several other wraps (known as decals) available for use in both games, including Matte Black, Cybercamo, and OMG. The OMG decal is the regular stainless-steel Cybertruck, but with the cracked window from the original unveiling event.
If you’re interested in trying out the Cybertruck in either game, now’s your chance to get started on those quests! The quests are available through August 6th. After that, the exclusive Baja wrap will be unavailable, but you’ll be able to pick up the Cybertruck itself anytime as a purchase.

In Tesla’s upcoming update, 2024.32.3, Tesla has added hands-free support for opening the vehicle’s frunk. This follows the Spring Update (2024.14), which added Hands-Free Trunk support for certain vehicles.
When hands-free trunk support was added earlier this year, it was supported on vehicles that include an ultra wideband chip, which includes the refresh Model S, new Model X, and the 2024 Model 3. Due to the hardware requirement, these will be the same vehicles that support the new Hands-Free Frunk feature. Legacy vehicles without UWB will unfortunately not support either feature due to the hardware requirement. UWB enables far more accurate tracking of the phone key, allowing Tesla to pinpoint its exact location relative to the vehicle.
The Cybertruck interestingly also includes an ultra wideband chip, however, it didn’t include the automatic opening of the gate earlier this year. However, we expect the Cybertruck to also receive the hands-free frunk opening in this 2024.32.3 update or relatively soon afterward.
Update: The Cybertruck is receiving hands-free frunk support in the 2024.32 update as well.
Hands-Free Frunk
The Hands-Free Frunk works similarly to the trunk feature – with an iPhone 11+ and a recent version of the app, you’ll be able to stand in front of your vehicle, and the Frunk will unlatch after sounding a chime. On some vehicles, the frunk will immediately open after being unlatched, however, you’ll need to manually close it.
This new feature isn’t enabled by default – you’ll need to go to Settings > Locks > Hands-Free Frunk to enable it.
At this time, Tesla doesn’t support UWB on Android devices, though both the Hands-Free Trunk and Hands-Free Frunk support will come to Android users in a future app update, according to Tesla.
Exclude Home
With the addition of the hands-free frunk opening, Tesla has also added a new option. You can now choose to disable the automatic opening when your vehicle is located at home to prevent you from accidentally opening. This will apply to the automatic frunk and trunk. In addition, in the Model X, you’ll also be able to disable the self-presenting doors at home. This is a great addition as many people have kept the hands-free feature disabled due to it awkwardly opening in the garage.
In the 2024.32.3 update, Tesla also mentions that they’ve improved the detection of the phone key, which should make the feature more reliable and faster when approaching the vehicle from the front or rear.
Following its recent launch in the United States and Canada, Tesla has launched their referral program in several European countries as well.
The program is available in Germany, Norway, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and possibly others. The program is almost the same as the one available today in North America, with rewards for each referral and a discount for those referred. The cap in Europe is also ten per year.
This program comes right on the heels of a 0% financing offer for the Model Y in Sweden and France. While referrals aren't currently available in Sweden, the 0% financing still is.
European Referrals
The European Referral program accounts for country and local currency, where applicable.

The referral reward program is comparable to the one available in North America. After exchange rates, there is only an approximately 10% difference between the available rewards in the US and EU.
Other Countries
We expect this program to start rolling out to other European countries over the next few days or weeks, as Tesla continues to expand its referral program.
