FSD v12.5.5.3 Update arrives for Cybertruck

[Pialot]

I used it exclusively over about 100 miles yesterday. Overall it was smooth and even seemed a bit more confident. On a very specific part of a road I regularly drive where it drops from 55mph to 35mph over the crest of a hill, the truck slowed down BEFORE the sign and was going 37mph at the sign. FSD has literally never done that in any of my cars in that situation. Historically I’ve had to either disengage to slow it down or just hope there was a lead vehicle.

I agree with you on the confident boost! Made lane changes more smooth and confident driving last night and I-10 had tons of construction and lane shifts. I was impressed I have yet to see how it does at stop ? and lights as well as stopping behind a car if it was smoother and less aggressive

I’ve been testing FSD on my Model Y on multiple road trips in the past month as well as during my commutes in the Model Y.

I’d say that it’s helpful on road trips now, especially with little traffic around. Compared to 6 months ago, the disengagement rate is about 1/10th now of that it was 6 months ago on road trips. However, in city driving, the FSD is still bad, and in rush-hour traffic in Atlanta on the interstate its plane dangerous.

I do see value in renting FSD for $99 for a month when going on a long road trip but by no chance I would do so for daily driving. It’s a huge progress compared to 6 months ago, when I tested it on a 2,000-mile road trip and saw zero value in renting it, as I literally had to disengage it every 5-7 minutes because it was making stupid decisions. At least now I can go for up to an hour without disengaging it on an interstate when there is little traffic around. I think it does reduce the fatigue when driving the entire day. However, as soon as I approach Atlanta (even on the weekend), I have to disengage the FSD, as it can literally cause an accident by making the wrong decision with cars all around me moving at 80 mph. It can’t handle too
much traffic around without making some seriously moronic decisions and getting me very close to having an accident.

During my commutes in metro Atlanta in rush hour (when the traffic barely moves), the FSD drives like someone who has only driven once in his life. It can’t merge onto the interstate without infuriating drivers around, it can’t change lanes in time to be able to take the proper exit. It gets in the wrong lane to make a turn in a surface road and then gets stuck in the middle of the intersection not knowing what to do, etc. It’s literally unusable in a big city unless you drive so early in the morning that the roads are empty.

11/9 delivery here. Just checked, and nothing. Still on 2024.32.100 as well.

Got the update last night and took it to the store. Worked good. A little more natural on turns. Took it back to the store later after dark and it tried to run a red light. Took it to work this morning in dark rain and fog and it did very well. Biggest improvement I see is it no longer beeps about poor weather every 30 seconds.

So you have been driving your car. What a novel idea.

What I meant to ask was for those individuals who got there trucks in the last 2-3 weeks, and are still on the version that ships with the truck (2024.32.100.1) and has no FSD. Did any of them get this download today?

I received full FSD software the day mine was delivered Nov 1, today I received the current update rolling out.

I just want more natural turns and acceleration that matches speed limits at a minimum...ASS sounds like a fun gimmick compared to constantly improving FSD...

It's key part necessary for the complete system but right now....yeah probably.

Guess I was a week too late, I’m still waiting.

Mine was delivered in California on the 15th of November and still no update- no autopilot- nothing. Incredibly frustrating.

Imagine taking delivery in April and waiting as long we we did ?

Drove to lunch and back today. The aggressive stopping seems to be fixed, I'd say it is now "normal" and I am personally cautious about stopping. The previous version often made me uncomfortable, like a teenage driver who had never experienced a braking traction issue, as if specified braking distance could always be depended on 100% of the time.

It still makes dumb mistakes though. It tried to make a right turn from the left lane, which was really bad considering there was a car in the right lane.

I just got the SW update notification. I am installing it now. I just got back from a day trip. FSD 12.5.5.2 was making a left turn onto a side road and would have hit the other car waiting in the oncoming lane to the left (I had the right of way) if I had not intervened at the last minute. It was so scary that my daughter screamed in horror. I doubt 12.5.5.3 would be any better.

I’ve reported that exact behavior a bunch of times because it happens at the entrance to our neighborhood, and it hasn’t changed with any of the updates since we first got FSD. Still turns into 90 degree lefts as if it’s turning onto a 1-way street and always starts in the wrong lane. Haven’t had an oncoming car to determine if it would see it and realize it’s turn onto a two-way street, but your experience tells me it wouldn’t matter. Strangely that’s the only real issue I ever see - left turns taken too tightly. I don’t know what they need to do to get some more data into the training corpus for that scenario, but I have plenty if they look at the location I always report!

When was delivered in March and I didn't get auto pilot until a month ago so maybe waiting a week or two isn't too bad.

No horn update. 67 of 111 ECUs updated from 33.15 (12.5.5.2) to this version. Did seem a little smoother on the first drive, avoiding a median on a left turn that usually got clipped on 5.2.

Was also real smooth on a red-red light, so smooth it's like it didn't even stop ?

Yes, but here is where I’m struggling: FSD is available for the Cybertruck now- why is it not shipping out on all new vehicles already installed at this point? Does anyone have any idea?
