      Excerpts from [article](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brookecrothers/2024/09/29/ten-months-after-release-tesla-cybertruck-still-missing-key-technology/) by Brooke Crothers:

      *FSD on Cybertruck was supposed to arrive with version 12.5, according to a tweet from CEO Elon Musk in July.*

      *And on September 4 Tesla AI posted that Cybertruck FSD was coming this month and then as recently as September 23 Tesla seemed to hint it was imminent.*

      *But as of September 29, it has yet to drop. So far, the only tangible ray of hope is Autopark, which just landed this month.*

      *[…] And getting FSD to work on the Cybertruck has presented special challenges.*

      *The CT has unique requirements because of its large wedge-shaped stainless steel design. The CT also has different sensor configurations compared to other Tesla vehicles.*

      *The upshot is the FSD software needs to be adapted to work with the CT’s odd design.*

      *Morgan Stanley in a research note this month said that “heading into Tesla’s ‘10/10’ robotaxi event we are, frankly, struggling to see how the day can live up to investors’ high expectations.”*

      *“Other than demonstrating FSD v12.5 and offering rides in a Gen 1 ‘Cybercab’ what else is in store? Perhaps there will be a detailed ‘total addressable market’ analysis showing tens of trillions of passenger vehicle miles and tens of trillions of $ of potential recurrent revenue (by 2050).”*

      You’d think they’d have sorted that out before releasing but *it is tesla so*… 🤷‍♂️

      I don’t know about others, but I’m so enjoying all the videos of failing CTs. Absolutely loving the money people are paying for these and posting videos of them.

      It actually has one of the best features. When I see one on the road, I already know what kind of driver it has.

      Astounding all the human effort going into maligning a gimmick concept car that only a handful of people own and was never meant for mass appeal or distribution.

      They’ve gotten a bit famous over here. There are at least 4 driving around the area.

      You know the game of seeing a VW bug and punching the closest person while saying “slug bug?” The new version uses the phrase “dumpster fire” when seeing one of these electric trash bins.

      I’ve seen a few of these around Vegas and it’s the ugliest piece of shit I have ever seen. I can’t believe people buy them.

      FSD software needs to be adapted to work. *~~with the CT’s odd design~~*.

      Tesla doesn’t have working Full Self Driving on any vehicle, not just Cybertruck. And probably never will on any vehicle without LIDAR.

      Can’t believe it’s already out-selling all EV trucks combined right now

      And that’s WITH a $20k up charge for basically nothing

      Just selling like crazy
