Tesla has recently rolled out its first major software update (2024.2.3) for the highly anticipated electric pickup truck, Cybertruck, introducing handling and charging performance optimizations.
This update marks a significant milestone in the development of Cybertruck's software, offering an enhanced driving experience for users.
Before the update, Cybertruck was available for delivery, but its software capabilities were not fully developed, and it lacked some key Autopilot features. Consequently, the release of Tesla's software update has been eagerly awaited by enthusiasts and owners alike.
According to the changelog, the update focuses on two main areas: handling and charging. Tesla states that the new version will deliver "a more consistent driving response and a more comfortable ride."
When in Sport mode or with Custom Drive and Handling set to Focus, the vehicle will exhibit a more consistent response across various road surfaces and will provide increased comfort, especially on bumpy roads. Additionally, pitch and roll are effectively reduced in off-road mode, further enhancing the vehicle's off-road performance.
In addition to handling optimizations, the new update also improves charging efficiency. Tesla claims that the vehicle now automatically adjusts to the power level of each DC charging station, resulting in more efficient battery warm-up when navigating to and charging at a station. This improvement significantly reduces charging times and enhances the overall user experience.
Although this update does not yet cover the Assisted Driving feature, considering Tesla's consistent strategy of being "conservative in the early stages, unlocked in the later stages," it is expected that these features will be gradually introduced in future updates. This news is undoubtedly welcomed by owners of other Tesla models.
Overall, the first major software update for the Tesla Cybertruck brings substantial performance improvements to users and further strengthens its leadership position in the electric pickup truck market.
