FULL SELF-DRIVING FOR THE CYBERTRUCK IS HERE! FIRST DRIVE 12.5.5

EV Channels Review

The reviewer expresses excitement about the arrival of Full Self-Driving (FSD) 12.5.1 on the Tesla Cybertruck, marking its first appearance and the debut of end-to-end highway FSD for the model. Initial impressions highlight improved visualizations and a generally smooth operation, particularly in complex scenarios like parking lots with pedestrians and carts. The system demonstrated patience and caution, successfully navigating construction zones and roundabouts. However, the reviewer notes several areas for improvement: aggressive braking at initial stop signs, occasional hesitation and indecisiveness in turns, and a tendency to be overly timid or slow on certain roads, leading to awkwardness. The reviewer also points out that the Cybertruck's size isn't always accounted for in sharper turns, sometimes staying in the oncoming lane too long. Despite these critiques, the reviewer is impressed with the early version, especially given the lack of critical interventions during a 45-minute test drive, and anticipates rapid evolution with future updates.
