Tesla is offering select Cybertruck owners a free, one-year trial of its Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. The Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker sent an email to eligible recipients on May 7, notifying them that this trial is intended as a gesture of appreciation for early adopters of the Cybertruck. Several owners reported receiving the email, a screenshot of which was also shared on the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) by a user named Sawyer Merritt. The email specifies that to activate the trial, recipients must subscribe to the Supervised FSD service by June 6, 2025. It also notes that the Cybertruck’s Autosteer feature will not function unless the Supervised FSD package is active. However, Tesla has yet to share an official comment about the free FSD trial offer.

The company also reportedly holds thousands of unsold Cybertrucks in US inventory, despite shifting its marketing to highlight the vehicle’s toughness and utility appeal.
Meanwhile, Musk expressed confidence in Tesla’s self-driving technology, predicting a future where manually driven cars are rare, and announced plans to roll out an Unsupervised FSD version soon.
