In a recent post on X, Ashok Elluswamy, Head of AP/AI at Tesla confirmed that FSD won’t be showing up for the Cybertruck just yet.
Instead, Cybertruck owners can look forward to some parking assistance features, which is at least a step toward FSD. While Ashok didn’t mention exactly which parking features are coming, we can likely guess what they’ll be.
Park Assist and Autopark on the Cybertruck
Currently, the Cybertruck doesn’t have Park Assist or Autopark. Tesla’s Park Assist provides a high-fidelity reproduction of the vehicle's surroundings (video below). Park Assist is a fantastic feature when parking in tight spaces, and ever since the updated Vision changes in recent months, it has become more accurate than ever.
We expect it to be even better on the Cybertruck, considering it has access to a front bumper camera – providing even more data for Park Assist.
In addition, Park Assist works alongside Autopark, allowing owners to automatically park their cars in parallel spaces or reverse into perpendicular spaces (video).
At low speeds (below 8mph or 13km/h), Autopark will automatically detect and display parking spaces nearby – both perpendicular ones to back into, or parallel ones. You will be able to tap on a space on the Cybertruck’s touch screen, and then come to a stop. Autopark will then maneuver the vehicle as required to get it into the right position and park.
Ashok mentioned that these updates for parking assistance features are slated for the end of this week. Park Assist will be available to everyone, while Autopark requires Enhanced Autopark or FSD.
Updated Timeline for FSD on Cybertruck
Ashok also gave us an update on FSD for the Cybertruck. He says that Autopilot/FSD should be expected around September as Tesla focuses on the parking assist features first. It’s still expected to arrive in a point release of FSD 12.5, which recently started going out to vehicles with HW3. All Cybertrucks come standard with AI4.
Park Assist is a fantastic step forward while Tesla works on refining and certifying FSD for the Cybertruck. September isn’t too far out at this point, and we could even see it show up sooner than that given the FSD team’s recent update pace.
