I got my invitation to purchase a couple of months ago, but my only available choices are the Foundation Editions. Still. and no word on when the standard versions will be available. and no way to communicate with anyone at tesla about availability and no news.

Snowplowsdirect.com sells most of the snow plow brands, has videos and pricing for several brands designed for easy mounting on SUV's and lighter vehicles. Range from very simple small blade bumper mounts with manually adjustable height and angle to heavier powered units with reasonably tall...

There are some interesting snow plow setups for pickups, ranging from light weight manual adjustment to stainless steel vee blade with class 4 hitch mount to frame mount, Wireless controls, electric, not hydraulic actuators, and clutches and springs to limit impact forces and limit shock to the...

looks like front underbelly cutouts to mount front accessories like winch mount or snow plow... :)

That is a bummer. :poop::poop::poop:
Maybe the top secret accessory team will create a kit....

Tesla superchargers could be smart about allowing short cars to charge in long truck/trailer accommodating charger spaces.
Simple message- "Please charge at an available single car space and leave this space for a longer vehicle!" this could even use the car's own vision and parking space...
got it! sorry about my defensive reaction, I was indeed thinking "here on this forum."
Good question- what percent of the population lives in significantly snowy states? icE pickup trucks do not have specialized plow mounts, but their underbody frames easily accept kinda universal bracket...
ummm.... how do you know "nobody cares about a snow plow connection here"? I am here. That's my prime use of pickup in the winter. I count too...

IF elon is going to emphasize Cybertruck as a working mans truck, it needs three things:
