The Cybertruck is the Swiss
Army knife of vehicles. I live in upstate NY and need a way to remove snow from my extremely long driveway. I'm replacing my 1990 GMC plow truck. Losing the ability to plow snow sucks and the cybertruck needs this function. A large snowblower would be the best option, but any means to remove snow would be a great benefit. Please make this capability happen for the most versatile truck on the planet !

Agreed. I am also replacing a plow vehicle. A solution would be excellent. Like a giant heat gun attachment with laser like precision to melt snow in seconds

I like your idea ! Maybe we could get Elon to make some more "not a flamethrower" and mount like 4 of them to the bumper . That will melt some snow !

I quit plowing (upstate ny too) pushing against ever riding banks of snow . Went with a snow blower with treads ( for driveway incline) super powerful throws rocks and debris occasional shear pin snap but love it heated grips and now snow banks falling back onto the road., pros go plow, brains go blow

Agreed.. and I'm sure with the big brains at Tesla they could make an awesome attachment that would blow the snow better than a Vega's stripper ! Maybe even control it from center screen and be able to change direction and maybe have a cam for those epic snow throw shots ! What do you think?

And maybe Bluetooth drive up quick connect. But then again with the warm winters we are getting it’s irrelevant

I would think a PTO option would be the best. Tesla while I love them, they don't know snow or cold the best. Nor do I see a product like this in the long term goal of sustainable transportation for Tesla.

I am not familiar with any OEM car/truck manufacturer that makes its own snow throw equipment. Not saying it can't be done, but seems like this is for way less than half of the population, and something left to the real snow folks. Maybe Tesla could work with a few manufacturers to come up with good attachment points and screen based connections and interface.

Hitch mounted drag plow from Boss. That is what I am leaning towards for my business. If I sell the business before the snow flies I’ll have no worries. But the Boss backdrag plow looks good.
