A full 12 months of free Full Self-Driving? That's exactly what Tesla is rolling out now for many Cybertruck owners. This is the manufacturer's response to the previously missing Autosteer function, making the entry into FSD more attractive than ever before.
Why Tesla is starting the annual test
-
Delayed roll-out: Autosteer is still missing, FSD only came to the Cybertruck in September 2024.
-
Customer satisfaction: With the free year, Tesla wants to compensate early buyers and excite new owners.
-
Data collection: The more trucks drive with FSD, the better Tesla's Autopilot neural network learns.
How to secure your free FSD year
-
Check email: Tesla sends a personal link to all eligible drivers.
-
Subscribe by June 6, 2025: Activate the subscription once – the credit card will be charged initially.
-
Cancel immediately: After signing up, you can cancel the subscription immediately but still keep 12 months of FSD.
-
Enjoy the ride: All FSD features remain active until the expiration date.
Important: Tesla emphasizes that Autosteer will only be available in the FSD package for the Cybertruck. A separate free Autosteer update is currently excluded.
Who benefits?
Cybertruck variant | FSD so far | Free year? |
---|---|---|
Foundation Series | FSD already included | Term is automatically extended by 1 year |
Standard / AWD / Cyberbeast (without FSD) | No FSD | Yes, if activated by June 6 |
What FSD can do on the Cybertruck today
-
Navigate on Autopilot for highways
-
Autosteer on country roads & in the city
-
Smart Summon & Park Assist (Beta)
-
Traffic Light & Stop Sign Control
All functions run on Hardware 4 – perfect for upcoming updates like FSD Unsupervised.
Is the upgrade worth it after the test year?
-
Subscription: 99 €/month* (*Price in the USA, EU rate still open)
-
Purchase: 8,000 € – especially worth it if you drive the truck for a long time.
-
Alternative: No Autosteer without FSD, so the package remains the only option for true semi-autonomous driving.
Outlook
Tesla uses the free deal to spread FSD faster – and Cybertruck fans finally get the promised driving experience. Those who book now can test for a full year at no extra cost and then decide at their leisure whether FSD is worth the additional price.
