Delay in downloading FSD in delivered Cybertruck

[Redfire]

A little perspective:

This entire thread cracks me up.

I have been driving my Model S for nearly 12 years now I think. The only camera it has is the backup camera. It doesn’t even have bumper sensors. So like every other vehicle I have, I have actually been (gasp!) driving it myself ?—Luddite, I know. I’m so very 2013.

Seems like FSD must be pretty addictive. I would think though that getting the hang of driving this vehicle could take some getting used to compared to other Teslas with it’s size and the steer by wire and all. It’s a pretty unique vehicle. At least for the sake of safety it may be best to spend time really getting the hang of driving it so that when you do have to take over while using FSD and it makes an error you are ready to quickly recover the vehicle from whatever mistake it was trying to make. To me that just seems like common sense but perhaps I’m not intoxicated with FSD as of yet and don’t understand the withdrawal syndrome well enough to get it. I guess my Model S was bunk.

This will be my first FSD vehicle but even though I have some excitement about that, I wouldn’t use FSD for a month or two even if I could because I would want to actually be competent in driving this particular vehicle type and know how it handles and what it can and cannot do so that I would be better at watching for it’s limitations while eventually using FSD in the future and being ready to take over for an error recovery so I don’t take out a mailbox or a toddler or something. I pick it up this weekend so I guess I’ll find out soon enough.

Cheers

I wish everyone adopted this tactic. Having said that it only took a few days to adjust for me. It's so much fun to drive though I tend not too use FSD at times.

So update on mine, i took delivery of my CT with 2024.38.100.1 firmware. I got an update the other day so I know its connected to the servers, but sadly it was another factory firmware update to 2024.38.200.1.... Going on a week and a half now with no FSD and no Autopilot.

Based on many of the post I’m reading it looks like only foundation series trucks currently have FSD enabled


Anyone with a non-foundation able to confirm they have FSD working on their cyber truck?

This thread cracks me up too.

You guys and your FSD...

CT is just so capable, so fun and so easy to drive, FSD completely neuters the entire experience.

The absolute joy of steer by wire, coupled with four wheel steering and 680 hp makes this thing like nothing in the world. Turning on FSD is like putting a wet blanket over the whole thing.

So yeah, just drive it. Manually. Learn it's quirks and capabities. FSD will come when it comes. And I'd argue it's not lousy service by Tesla, it's them managing bandwidth and all of the complications of over the air software updates. Remember, you're still an early adopter. Go ask when Ford or GM or BMW last did an OTA update...lol

I know I really love driving it but sometimes it’s just nice to have the option especially on the highway.

The issue is that these folks have paid for it - and not penny's. It is a product. Imagine receiving a product you paid for when the company felt like it. The whole FSD is a lesson in how not to do business. Overpromise and underdeliver.

Yep. 1st world problem for me too. I've been driving the latest FSD on my 2023 Model Y for a while and I am addicted. I use it for every drive. I use autopark every time. I've basically forgotten how to drive. I picked up my CT on Friday and I'm on 2024.38.200.1 so no FSD. Also, no rear display gaming. I'm going on a road trip on Dec. 6th and I hope I get FSD by then, but it sounds like I might have to wait until Xmas.

greetings to fellow Cybertruck community. I understand that Some Cybertrucks are delivered with factory settings which might delay software updates including FSD. This appears to be a common issue where the vehicle needs to be "tagged" or flagged for updates by Tesla's system. I have had the car for a week and no updates pushed so even though I am paying for FSD I still don’t even have the basic version of it. Outside of the fact that this makes no sense (the car was delivered so why would it be in “factory software”?), and the fact that I have been explicitly told by Service that they have no idea how to fix because the “engineering team” is not providing them with updates on this particular issue, do you guys have any idea how long does it usually take for this to be remedied? Any insight welcomed!

Have you finally got it yet? I took my delivery on nov 19th last week and same situation….factory software. Oh well.

No nothing yet. This is very disappointing for a company like Tesla… they can do much better…

2024.39.5 is rolling out, but according to TeslaFi, no one reporting VINs higher than 41XXX. 48XXX here and still waiting for FSD! Over two weeks now since delivery. I'm hopeful that 39.5 will hit us who are waiting.

 

[Manos]

Agreed with all new truck owners here, our Cyberbeast is in the garage (paid cash), sales told us everything is up to date, week post the sale and being told "eventually" we will have FSD. Ours does not have any assisted cruise features....

I think the issue is the way this is being communicated to the buyer's. If correct information is provided on the front end, it is easier for one to either have the patience, or simply hold on your purchase.

This is exactly right! This is my frustration too.. Tell us upfront we will not have the FSD for 2 months and that is a reason to decide to proceed or not proceed. That should be clear during the process...Instead they activated the "free" month of FSD without even having the software...lol It looks ridiculous for a company so advanced in software as Tesla is...

 

[schismsblade]

Just checked this morning for 39.5 no luck yet

 

[TexasRaider]

Thanks! I don’t really have many other choices than waiting… for sure… but it bothers me that Tesla can do all these amazing things and yet once again when it comes to customer service, miserably fail… this is an easy fix… not at all complicated. Deliver the car with software tagged for release… how can I be paying subscription for something that does not exist. Does that seem fair?

First time Tesla owner? ?

If you aren’t a previous Model owner, the CT isn’t the best model to start with. You’ll have great expectations that won’t be met. You have to set your expectations differently for a non-legacy company. Of course, this is my experience and expectation.

Thanks! As I said above I have had 4 Teslas... This is no 5... So I know exactly what to expect. I love this company and the cars are the best in teh world BUT when we see something wrong we should point it out. it will make the company better
