1. Introduction

   Tesla has announced a 1-year free trial of Full Self-Driving (FSD) (Supervised) for Cybertruck owners. 

   This move aims to compensate for the lack of basic Autopilot features (such as Autosteer) on the Cybertruck. Traditionally, other Tesla models come with basic Autopilot as standard.

2. What Is Tesla's FSD Trial for Cybertruck?

   A user named Sawyer Merritt shared an official email from Tesla. 

   The email states that to activate the trial, owners must subscribe to FSD (Supervised) before June 6, 2025. If not activated, Autosteer will not be available on the Cybertruck. As of now, Tesla has not released an official public statement about this offer.

4. Why Is Cybertruck Different?

   Since its official delivery on November 30, 2023, the Cybertruck does not include basic Autopilot (like Autosteer) as standard. 

   Tesla stated in emails: "As we improve our Autopilot technology, our feature sets will change. Accordingly, Autosteer will not be available for Cybertruck outside of Full Self-Driving (Supervised)."

Key reasons:

   The Cybertruck uses a steer-by-wire system.

   It has a unique camera layout and a larger body size.

   The old Autosteer software is not compatible with Cybertruck hardware.

5. User Reactions to the Free FSD Trial

- Positive Feedback:

- Some users say a 1-year FSD subscription usually costs about $1,000. Getting it for free is a great value.

- Negative Feedback:

- Some users are unhappy. They say the Cybertruck purchase agreement suggested it would include basic Autopilot. Now, it does not.

- Speculation on Tesla's Motives:

- Data Collection: Some believe Tesla wants to collect Cybertruck-specific data to improve FSD.

- Promoting Paid Subscriptions: Others think Tesla wants owners to get used to FSD, hoping they will pay for it later.

- Resource Allocation: Some users think Tesla prefers to focus on FSD development, not updating the old Autopilot.

- Feature Migration:

- Some hope Tesla will move basic Autopilot features into FSD, or offer a simplified FSD as standard in the future. Others believe Cybertruck may never support basic Autopilot.
