Correction on your terms, Steer-By-Wire (SBW) and Four-Wheel-Steering (FWS), here:
SBW is not the issue at hand here as the steering is software driven. The proof of this is when you go into the Service menu of any Tesla then Steering. Once you turn the Steering wheel, regardless if it is SWB or not, the software only cares about the degree rotation of the wheels. This telemetry can be matched with the hardware version of a vehicle quite easily.
The real issue at hand is the combination of FWS and Vehicle Dimension. First one could be solved technically by simply disabling FWS whilst vehicle is in FSD mode, however might cause issues when the operator/driver needs to immediately take over. If they keep it turned off, the operator/driver might "under-correct" because they're so used to a more responsive vehicle. If they keep FWS on, then it changes the telemetry and all the data FSD knows thus far about its training set.
The Vehicle Dimension is another factor, however this can easily be trained. The issue, as many of you are aware, is that there are not enough CTs on the road to feed it data. I am optimistic as I have seen more and more Cybertrucks in the Greater Vancouver Area (especially in Richmond).
I do agree with @swampcrawler that Tesla should at least give us "dumb" summon to pull the truck in or out of tight parking spaces, especially given its size.
