After two years of radio silence regarding one of the final FSD features for its flagship vehicle, Tesla has officially confirmed that Actually Smart Summon is launching soon for the Cybertruck. Tesla shared the update via a video post on X, showcasing the Cybertruck autonomously navigating a complex parking lot environment to retrieve its driver.
This announcement marks the first official acknowledgment of the Cybertruck feature since September 2024. In the video, the Cybertruck successfully reverses out of an angled parking stall, executes a tight turn around a sharp corner, and smoothly arrives at the designated pickup location.

Summon is Now a Part of V14
The timing of this release makes perfect sense, as it follows a major backend architectural update to Actually Smart Summon. Tesla recently updated Actually Smart Summon to respond faster and more smoothly.
Previously, Actually Smart Summon operated on an older FSD stack. As part of FSD v14.3.2, Tesla migrated the feature to the end-to-end FSD v14 stack. Tesla dramatically improved the responsiveness, speed (up to 8 mph), and fluidity of ASS (video). This unified model is likely the key that finally allowed Tesla’s AI team to adapt the feature for the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck’s Unique Hardware
Integrating autonomous navigation on the Cybertruck, especially during low-speed maneuvers, is a whole different ball game than on the rest of Tesla’s lineup. The Cybertruck utilizes a complete Steer-by-Wire system, paired with active Rear-Wheel Steering.
Four-Wheel Steering gives Cybertruck a tighter turning radius than a Model S

These features allow the Cybertruck to achieve a remarkably tight turning radius for a vehicle of its size. Integrating these features into Actually Smart Summon likely contributed to the delays in getting the feature on the Cybertruck. Tesla previously noted that it had to work around training new neural network models specifically for steering the Cybertruck back when FSD v12.5.5, the very first version of FSD for Cybertruck, launched.

What About Basic Summon?
While the demonstration of a Cybertruck driving itself with nobody in the seat is impressive, Tesla has yet to confirm whether the traditional Dumb Summon feature will be included in the rollout.
The simpler version of summon allows owners to move a vehicle straight forward or back into tight garages, rather than picking an arrival point or calling the vehicle to themselves. Due to the sheer width of the Cybertruck, basic straight-line summon remains a highly requested utility. In addition, it is a fantastic feature when hitching a trailer and makes the entire process even faster when combined with the Cybertruck’s Air Suspension.
When Does it Arrive?
Tesla’s post on X states that “Summon for Cybertruck rolling out shortly.”
While that’s a relatively short-sounding timeline, “soon,” in the Tesla world can actually be a lot longer than most of us would like. As we know, whenever the update is released, it'll likely be a slow rollout, just like we’re seeing with FSD v14.3.3.
Given that this feature will likely need to go through Tesla’s same validation process, we could see it as early as this weekend for early-access testers if everything goes well. However, regular owners will likely have to wait a little longer.
