Unsupervised FSD for Cybertruck (and FU Tesla Service)

[donnymcdoodles]

I have the seal on removal appliqué but absolutely nothing on the window side . So that’s the problem my guess .

I just went out and gave it a really good examination. My new 2025 has no foam like in the video. In addition, it looks like Tesla has redone their process. They are now doing something similar to what is in the video... however, the guy in the video is basically using a u-channel type gasket, where tesla appears to be using pressure instead.

I have a removable seal on the glass side of the appliqué (looks like it slides on it). It can be seen here: https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybe...UID-65D221E5-6B26-4CA5-96E9-6FDA38BE70F3.html

Then on the vehicle they are running a line of weather stripping (single sided sticky tape on the bottom) along the edge. The edge of the weather stripping and the edge of the removeable seal on the applique are supposed to squeeze together to create a seal.

What is happening in practice is they are not applying that line of weatherstripping along that edge tightly all the way down or it is getting shoved out of place in some sections during some part of the assembly process. From above it looks fine (because you are mostly looking at the appliqué seal. But if you look at it from underneath and feel with your finger (be careful of the possibly sharp steel edge), you can see and/or feel whether your gasket is jacked up.

About half of my gasket is significantly installed incorrectly.

I am going to give it back to Tesla to fix, but I think the Youtube video fix is probably more superior because of the gasket shape he is using.

I have no weather stripping at all . No gasket on the window side . This is despite it being in twice for the leak problem and a third time coming up . I raised this issue on the second visit . I am suprised for what to be a relatively simple fix still cannot be fixed by Tesla .

Here are the issues I’m scheduled for. Admittedly they look a lot worse in the photos which was what I was trying to achieve. The dents in the tonneau are not very noticeable. The panel on the frunk only sticks up about 1/8” more than the opposite side and the wave in the door is barely viewable. I’m learning that stainless shows imperfections very well. Thanks for you help and sorry to hijack the title of this thread.

I'd get those damages fixed. They don't appear to be difficult. Here's the manual for adding a slat. Looks pretty straight forward. Probably very similar to replacing dented slats. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybe...UID-A52C2B6C-55CE-40DF-84ED-2DBE6001B1D3.html

I agree, and am going to continue with my appointment this week with my fingers crossed.

So, as like most of you I sit here patiently waiting for my FSD upgrade. We hear news, get excited, but deep down know that Musk has a tendency to over-exaggerate release dates (putting it nicely). Recently, everyone is saying that our trucks FSD is on hold because they are hyper-focused on the robotaxis. But that seems odd since progress to the next FSD release should be so close. Something seems off. Then I read this today:

https://futurism.com/emails-tesla-california-robotaxis

I always just thought Musk was just talking like an excited child and just over-optimistic about timelines. That's just who he is. But this story, if true, the last paragraph is a bitter pill to swallow:

"In short, Musk and Tesla are talking a big game to investors and its wide-eyed fans about how amazing its Robotaxis will be — but its private groveling with regulators suggests that it's fibbing to at least one of those groups."

I hate to say it, but occam's razor... I think we've been had boys. Unsupervised seems like a pipe dream.

And since at least one person will undoubtedly say this is a troll post, I will half-agree because I love the truck but hate Tesla Service. So much that this truck, which is a leaps-and-bounds better than anything on the road, gives me a tinge of regret for ever even buying.

Sorry for your bad experience?

Have you done FSD in a MY or Model 3? CT is the retarded brother of FSD. I use FSD almost constantly on my MY and CT and the CT is just worse. It's bigger...makes different mistakes. I think they are just grappling with that and the size because if it goes wrong it will go really wrong.

I think unsupervised is a long way off for CT. 5 years maybe? I think for MY and M3 it's 1-3 years off. But I got only bought any tesla because of the current state of FSD not for the future and I would pay for it again anytime for what it can do right now. Unsupervised....it's coming but my guess is slow. But Austin service is real and it works. So....hope.

Also Tesla can't tell regulators one thing and investors another or the FTC murders them. They can frame it different but you can't hide stuff you know. Tesla isn't realizing the profits from FSD because they know it isn't complete....But they file with the FTC about the profits and you can read their explanations of their current status.

Apologize if I got the FTC stuff wrong...heard that part second hand.

I have a service call coming up on 21 August. They are telling me based on my VIN number that I am up for a rail cam rail replacement. I do not need a replacement at this time as everything is fine. Does anyone recommend I go ahead and replace them anyway?? Nothing is wrong with them at this date. what I am worried about is I will get my truck back in worse condition than when I brought it in, that’s a big concern of mine based on what I have been reading. Does anyone have any device for me Gary?

Long story short, got my brand new truck back from service (rear seat-belt error and to add a slat). It is a 2025 freshly wrapped CB with about 200 miles on it. They had it for 4 days (took them 1.5 days to even get around to it). Got it back, as expected, seat-belt error seems fixed and of course the bed probably leaks even worse now... but whatever. Problem? Fix 1 thing, break something else?

Not 1 or 2 things... literally 20 things broken, damaged, or improperly reinstalled!! WTF?!?! Thank God I took a ton of pictures and videos of both the interior/exterior when I dropped it off. It goes back next week with assurances (whatever that is worth) that only their lead tech will touch the truck and they will be responsible for any damage to my PPF that may occur on the next visit.

I was a Tesla Service Center virgin before this. My 2024 Cybertruck (AWD) was mint and never needed service. I knew to avoid service if possible, but what can you do about a seatbelt error that you can't resolve on your own? This was a nightmare and Tesla should be ashamed of themselves for hiring techs who clearly have no pride in their jobs. For F's sake, just give me the parts and I will do it myself!

Recall the FSD launch in China and it used inference learning from videos and other domestic sources to due to privacy and IP constraints. I've heard the Model Y is the best at FSD because it has so many on the road and more information to consume and learn from. As a new product, the CyberCab will have to use FSD data from other Tesla vehicles similar to the China experience. Therefore, why can't we do the same for the CT and get unsupervised FSD at the same time as other Tesla vehicles? Fingers crossed!
