OEM Tesla Rock Sliders + Body Armor Skidplate (Cybertruck Terrestrial Armor Package) Released

[ABILISK]

Hmmm… a dilemma

Can anyone with a NFS built before 12/10/24 see this on their app as available to order? Mine’s saying it’s in stock but not compatible so it won’t let me order

My app didn't let me select anything, it auto-selected the one for my pre-12/10/24 build. How are you getting that screen?

That’s how the product page is now. Fairly recent change. The first batch of this package didn’t have the build date options.

Yep same for me. They are still only available to FS builds regardless of date.

Oh I think I understand your issue now; I think the build date of 12/10 is what matters, all trucks before that regardless of FS or not likely were built with whatever mating parts are needed for what previously was sold as FS only. Who knows on the pre 12/10 NFS trucks; likely same but... Time will tell.

I would bet they’re the same, the app is just blocking us from purchasing right now. Just logistics woes. There’s only ~2 months worth of buyers that fit into this category. I drew the short straw.

Hey! I finally get to say this: I’m getting punished for being an early adopter of the NFS lol

Around a year of buyers.
Deliveries started November 2023

Currently just the NFS trucks built before 12/10/24 seem to be affected. Unless the FS guys are seeing it as “not compatible” also.

FS has same build date restriction .

But you’re able to order it, right? Both say not compatible for me.

I was able to order today, FS and pre 12/10.

That’s what I figured. NFS started 10/11/24 I believe. So only NFS from 10/11-12/10 are currently being blocked. I’m not overly concerned, it’ll work itself out. But Tesla has gotten a little over excited with only letting you order certain things. You used to be able to buy anything for any model. Gifts for friends aren’t a thing anymore?

Just as an FYI, if you like the XPEL Armor plastic protection offered by Abstract Ocean, they now sell an add on kit just for the new Tesla armor packages top plastic entry guards (top portion of the rock sliders). I scuffed mine in the first week after they were installed by Tesla. So I reached out to Abstract Ocean, Pete (the actual owner), contacted me directly about my inquiry. Long story short, he made me a set and their now installed on my truck. The XPEL has completely eliminated the scuffing issue, and it actually (IMO) looks way better than stock now. The rough texture of the EXPEL is a near perfect match to the coating Tesla uses for the metal portion of their rock sliders. I found out Pete actually makes/sizes the templates for all the armor kits he sells, and he also actually cuts all his EXPEL armor kits himself with his company’s cutter/plotter. He’s a really nice guy, and was super responsive to my request.

And steps are dumb anyway for CT’s, given the Entry squat function - even my 5’1” wife is happy there are no running boards to dirty her pants - and she loved the automatic running boards on our former super duty trucks.

Interesting. My 5'2" wife has to hop up a little to get in. I was planning to get some running boards to help her.

I won't be needing mine anymore after the install. I was going to put them up for sale. Lmk you're interested.
