Tesla Cybertruck Owner Says, “I Will Be Waiting By the Curb, and My Cybertruck Will Drive Itself To Pick Me Up, It’s Not Science Fiction, It Starts Now”

Are you ready for your Tesla Cybertruck to drop you off and pick you up from work? 

Marcus Reno, a Cybertruck owner, shares on the Tesla Cybertruck Owners Facebook page that his electric truck is already impressive. However, its technology is not stagnant; it's on the brink of a significant advancement. 

He envisions a future where the Cybertruck will drive itself to pick him up, a reality that's not a distant dream but a present possibility.

He says, "The Cybertruck will eventually drive itself to come pick me up if I choose. It's not science fiction. It's not five years away. It's already starting right now."

First, imagine how it will happen.

The call came in at precisely 3:30 pm. Not a sound, but a data packet, a silent command from its owner: "Retrieve me from downtown, 123 Main Street."

The Cybertruck, with its angular, stainless-steel body still gleaming from the morning wash, hummed to life in its charging bay, ready for its mission. 

There was no need for a driver; its neural network, honed by millions of miles of data, was already calculating the optimal route through the city's late afternoon traffic.

With a soft click, the charging port retracted. The massive tires rotated silently as the Cybertruck glided out of the garage. Sensors pulsed, mapping every curb, every pedestrian, and every stoplight.

The city was bustling with human-driven vehicles, and their drivers were often distracted. 

Marcus's Cybertruck, however, moved with serene precision, anticipating lane changes, merging smoothly, and braking with seamless efficiency, always maintaining the perfect distance.

It passed the tall skyscrapers and the bustling cafes, and the bright sun coming directly in the windshield didn't bother it. 

The cabin had already been cooled and quiet, awaiting its owner.

Within minutes, it arrived at 123 Main Street. Its owner, a figure in a dark suit, stood by the curb, phone in hand. The Cybertruck slowly pulled up, and Marcus stepped in, closing the door with a soft thud.

"Home, Cybertruck," he murmured, settling into the seat.

"Affirmative," the Cybertruck's internal system responded in a gentle, synthesized voice. The journey home began as effortlessly and precisely as the journey there.

Marcus says it's not science fiction; it's already here. 

He says, The Cybertruck will eventually drive itself to come pick you up if you choose.' It's not science fiction. It's not five years away. It's already starting right now.

This level of control and safety, he assures, is what you can expect from the Cybertruck's autonomous features.

Tesla has officially launched its first RoboTaxi Beta in Texas, and the early results are precisely what you'd expect. Flawless. Zero interventions. Total autonomy. 

Of course, it's a staged rollout: a small area is first, followed by no passengers, then a safety staffer in the passenger seat, and now real people are taking real rides. That's how Tesla builds confidence. Data first, then scale.

And it's working, he says.

But this isn't just about Model Ys carting people around Austin. This is the prelude to something much bigger: the launch of a dedicated CyberCab fleet and a new era where your Cybertruck can become its rideshare platform.

Not Uber. Not Lyft. Yours.

Of course, it's no surprise Tesla started the beta with the Model Y. It's simpler. Smaller. There are more of them on the road. The same applies to the Model 3, which will follow closely behind. However, what matters to us is what comes next because the Cybertruck will benefit as well.

Features like Auto Park and Smart Summon are already being finalized for release. And behind those? The real milestone: your Cybertruck driving itself to get you, drop you off, or run errands, earning income if you choose.

Sure, not everyone will want their truck to be a robotaxi, but these upgrades aren't just about monetization. They're about autonomy. They're about convenience. They're about freedom.

How Will Tesla Accomplish This Bold Vision?

He says, That's why giving every Cybertruck owner one year of Full Self-Driving (FSD) for free is such a game changer. 

Not only does it allow more drivers to experience the technology firsthand, but it also significantly accelerates the dataset. The more people use it, the smarter the system becomes. 

This is why Cybertruck owners should engage with FSD: every trip, every mile, every data point matters.

What Are Other Cybertruck Owners Saying?

Ty T. Stoe says, "I have been using mine more frequently, but I am teaching the system by saying 'bug fix' and stating the issues, etc." It's constantly changing for the better, but we input information that drives the accuracy. Yeah, I am not being paid." 

Patricia Anne Donohue says, "I use FSD on my Beast every time I drive. Since I bought the Foundation Cybertruck 3-motor beast, the FSD was included, as well as a light bar."

The Cybertruck's Role

• While the Cybertruck's FSD capabilities may lag slightly behind those of other Tesla models, its participation in the FSD ecosystem is valuable.
• Tesla is specifically addressing the unique challenges presented by the Cybertruck's size, steer-by-wire system, and camera placements by using it as a validation vehicle in complex environments.
• This focused effort will help refine FSD's handling of the Cybertruck and align its capabilities with the rest of the fleet. 

In summary, the Cybertruck contributes to the future of FSD by: 

• Providing valuable data for training and development
• Driving advancements in neural network architecture
• Testing and refining FSD in real-world scenarios 

Conclusion:

The Tesla Cybertruck's efforts in this data collection collectively push the boundaries of autonomous driving and pave the way for a future where self-driving technology is more widespread and reliable. 

Marcus says, This is the most innovative pickup ever made and the only one preparing to drive itself into the future.

He believes your Tesla Cybertruck could be picking you up from work sooner than you think.
