That set off a long wait filled with service visits and software updates. Three trips to the service center and months later, my Cybertruck was finally FSD-ready. The moment the update rolled in, I wasted no time—I activated it on my very first drive to work.
First Impressions: A Glimpse into the Future
Driving with FSD for the first time felt surreal. Even though I had seen countless videos and discussions about Tesla’s autonomous capabilities, actually experiencing it firsthand was something else. The system handled turns, stops, and accelerations impressively well, adapting to real-world driving conditions better than I expected.
But the real test came on my recent road trip.
Taking FSD on the Open Road
I wanted to push FSD further, but I also preferred to test it under ideal conditions—light traffic, minimal construction, and long highway stretches. Of course, in Florida, that’s easier said than done! Still, I found a few 25-30 mile stretches where the Cybertruck could really show its potential.
Here’s what stood out:
Smooth and Confident Lane Changes: I was especially impressed with how well the Cybertruck handled passing slower vehicles. It felt calculated, deliberate, and—honestly—safer than how I usually pass.
Speed and Route Management: It adjusted speed smoothly, responded to upcoming turns naturally, and never felt unpredictable.
Traffic Awareness: Even in moderate traffic, it handled merging and spacing exceptionally well, making the ride feel effortless.
The Future Is Here
Driving with FSD on my Cybertruck made me appreciate just how far Tesla has come in autonomous technology. While no system is perfect, Tesla still remains the clear leader in self-driving capabilities. With every update, it only gets better, bringing us closer to a future of safer and more efficient roads.
We may not have flying cars yet, but moments like these remind me that the future we once imagined is already here.
