Editorial note: This version of FSD notes are for the Cybertruck, which differs slightly from other hardware 4 models. Some features such as Start from Park are not yet available for the Cybertruck. These release notes remain the same from the previous version.

When enabled, a button will appear on the map when driver requirements are met, and the brake pedal is pressed and released. Driver requirements include (but are not limited to):

- Driver is seated in driver's seat

- Driver is buckled

- Cabin Camera is unobstructed

When Brake Confirm is disabled, pressing the button will allow Autopilot to apply the brakes and engage FSD (Supervised).

You can enable this feature in Autopilot > Start FSD (Supervised) from Park.

This feature does not make your vehicle autonomous and you must remain attentive and be ready to take over at any time. Only a licensed driver authorized to operate the vehicle should be allowed access to the driver's seat position any time the vehicle is not in Theater or Arcade modes.

Under your supervision, Full Self-Driving (Supervised) can drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, and make left and right turns. You and anyone you authorize must use additional caution and remain attentive. It does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent.

Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is enabled on your vehicle. To use the feature, pull the drive stalk down once. You can disable Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Autopilot Settings.

Improve your vehicle's safety and convenience features such as siren recognition, by choosing to opt-in and share sound detection data with Tesla. A short audio recording is collected when an approaching emergency vehicle is recognized.

You can change your data sharing preferences at any time. Even if you opt-in, sound detection data is not associated with your account or VIN.

The first-row cabin sensing system has been updated to use cabin radar, which is now standard in all new 2025 Model Ys. Your Model Y was built pre-equipped with the necessary hardware, allowing Tesla to also bring this technology to your vehicle.

Your vehicle now supports preconditioning for additional third-party fast chargers, even if they aren’t listed on the charger list. Simply set a fast charger as your destination, and battery preconditioning will start automatically when needed to optimize charging performance.

When you shift into Reverse, a warning sound will play from the direction of an incoming object detected crossing behind you, such as a vehicle or pedestrian.

Go to Controls > Safety > Rear Cross-Traffic Chime.

Already available on iPhones, this feature is now supported on Android phones, making it easier to open the trunk when your hands are full. Simply stand near the desired area with your Phone Key unobstructed, listen for the chimes, and the trunk will open automatically. Ensure people and clothing are clear of moving parts. Requires Tesla app version 4.41.0 or later.

To enable this feature, go to Controls > Locks > Hands-Free Trunk on your vehicle's touchscreen. On your UWB supported phone, go to settings and enable Nearby or Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Interactions for the Tesla app, or go to Phone Key > Upgrade.

Trailer Profiles allows you to save data and preferences associated with your trailer. By accurately entering your trailer's mass, dimensions, auxiliary settings, etc., your vehicle is better able to estimate energy consumption while driving to your destination.

To create a profile, navigate to Controls > Towing > Trailer Profiles.

- Weather information is now displayed for both the final destination and the waypoints in your route’s turn-by-turn list.

- The Battle of Polytopia - "The Forgotten" Aquarion Skin - This update comes with a new Aquarion skin, new languages, and balance changes.

- Minor fixes and performance enhancements have been applied.

- This update includes important security fixes and improvements.

Tesla has now carried over some of the updated warnings from FSD to regular Autopilot.

Warnings such as “Autopilot will not brake” when the accelerator pedal is actively pressed and others will now be presented at the top in a translucent rectangle, instead of near the bottom, where they can be easily missed.

After using a Supercharger, your vehicle will now display a notification with the total cost of the charging session. In the addition to the cost, the alert will also display the location, total energy added and the cost per kW/h.

The Tire Pressure card on the Model 3 and Model Y will now show you the recommended tire pressure in addition to your existing tire pressure reading.

Brake Burnishing: The Brake Burnish procedure parameters have been updated to reduce the need for coming to almost a complete stop during each cycle.

Legacy Model S and Model X.

Charge Port Calibration: The charge port door calibration routine (PROC_CP_X_DOOR-SENSOR-CALIBRATION) and charge port latch calibration route (PROC_CP_X_LATCH-CALIBRATION) have been added to the Charging panel. Those routines are required to be run following the replacement of the charge port or charge port door.

All Model 3s and Model Ys.

Signal Viewer Panel: A new Signal Viewer panel is available to monitor multiple signal values live on a graph. If one or more of the signal values is unavailable, the graph will stop updating. To access the new panel, tap Tools > Signal Viewer.

All vehicles with AMD Ryzen.

Noise Recording Panel: To improve the user experience, the recording duration has been decreased to 30 seconds, and reliability of the download routine PROC_ICE_X_FETCH-DIAGNOSTIC-AUDIO-RECORDS has been improved.

Cybertruck only.
