Has anyone seen anything on overhead or A-pillar grab handles for our shorter passengers, or garment hanger/ grab handle combo for the back?

Oops. Was trying to ask about impact on ground clearance and access to jack/lift points.
It’s probably one of the best for not losing any ground clearance. I believe the video they have says less than .25” of clearance lost.

Just installed the Tesla Cybertruck Side Step and Lower Rocker Cladding Armor by Tsportline. I lucked out. Purchased the blemished model but due to a shipping delay they upgraded them to new. Only one small little chip on the side but I had already ordered touch up paint with the order and might apply Xpel armor on the sides. I really like the look of these. They hug well but don’t stick out enough to make it awkward stepping out. Easy to install, but I had to stand on them while my son put in the bolts.

Overall, these look the best from anything else I've seen in the aftermarket. While they appear to provide a good purchase for your foot getting in an out of the truck, but since they are higher up, how much "assist" do they provide?

I'd be interested in the "d" in the picture below, the difference between the Cybertruck sill plate and the top of the step. My aging father has a hard time getting in my F-150, and I have running boards and a decent built in grab handle. While I prefer not to add any running boards, I may have to go with something lower.

For any of those who have taken delivery of your truck. I had a slight creaking noise when going into some turns from my driver seat. I reported it and Tesla put in an entire new driver seat. The ticket said issue was caused by the left hand first row seat assembly. It's fixed now! :)

Very rough measurement but it's close. I'd say easy 5" - 5.25".

I would pay $750 (Maybe). As @Alpine said, I don’t see myself using an L-Track or the smugglers bay. Would I use it if it came standard, probably. We are in Oklahoma, we hardly tie anything down while driving down the road. 😜😜
Have you watched CT59 on YouTube? He was a bid from Tesla for the Smugglers bay at $1700ish. He also ordered the L-Track for $250. He is super tech and started frequent videos the day he got his CT. Lots of good ones like comparing sound systems.

My biggest mod just came in today. I’m so excited! My Cybertruck SAWD will be our 4th Tesla. We have an XP, YP, and 3 currently. Today I got home and saw my biggest mod delivered to my driveway. 64 solar panels, and #2 20 kWh batteries. Luckily I’m only buying the power all this stuff produces, and it’s $0.06/ kW cheaper than my utility. So this should actually save me money!! Plus I’ll have power to charge my fleet, even during outages! I had considered an NG standby generator, but those can cost $17-$20k installed after permitting according to the generator guy that stands at the exit isle at Costco.

I can't wait to show these pics to my "F-350 or die" Texas Rancher hubby who complains about hauling all the CT59 accessories arriving daily to his "wife who has lost her mind's" She Shed awaiting the CT59's arrival someday. . . . .
