2025.8.4 Update: Steer by Wire System / steering wheel gives more realistic feedback, adapting to different road surfaces

[CybertruckWraps]

yeah I still try to knee steer out of habit sometimes ?

speaking of… last week or so my reflex tried to steer with my knee out of the blue.. needless to say, it didn’t work.

cannot steer with knee in CyberTruck.

I haven’t needed to steer with my knee for a very very long time because AutoPilot was so great in my ModelY.. one point where the CyberTruck is still heavily lacking.. and I refuse to purchase FSD which imo works even worse than the Auto Pilot I’m so very accustomed to.

please fix this Tesla

the CT didn’t get the battery health test I assume?

I can't tell what's different on the steering road feedback in 2025.8.4. It's definitely not any less than it was before, which was more than adequate for me.

This one could be placebo, but I feel like the steering isn't quite as twitchy anymore in any of the drive modes, which I actually preferred before updating as it gave it more of a sporty feel.

Yep… a man’s gotta eat! Nothing like double fisting a Chipotle burrito while driving, napkin in lap to catch what falls, and the knee doing all the heavy lifting keeping the vehicle in lane.

Mine did that last time. Try a reboot.

I’m having some issues post update. At first my GPS position was off. Now it’s not tracking me at all and looks like connectivity isn’t working. Tried multiple reboots and a sleep cycle. Still having issues. FSD won’t work either.

Got some unexpected features with this update on my Beast. Couldn’t turn on heating remotely this morning then got in to the rear left motor disabled. Did the update last night. Appointment scheduled for Monday. Drove ok to work. Reboot had no effect.

Same issue happened after my update. Could not turn on the heat from my app??

I couldn’t turn the hvac on from the app first time but that cleared. My motor being disabled has not cleared. Did your motor disable too or just the hvac thing?

Just the HVAC. Tried twice and no go. I haven’t tried it again since this morning. I’ll try now.

Good news. It’s now working.

It didn’t turn in when I was making my coffee but I got in th truck and it fired right up. Worked fine when I left work. Was hoping the motor would come back as well but no dice. Hopefully yours clears.

You might not see it. At the very bottom of the controls screen on the app is a little white line. If you swipe up on it some more controls come up.

new in 25.8.4 or always there, but default setting changed?
I now see usage with a decimal point.

Rainbow Road’s “Always Rainbows” option is more “rainbowy”… Removed the blue altogether.
