story lacks details, it’s written in PAST tense, and it’s a story about a WSJ story that is paywalled and likely won’t cite sources. As an investor, I highly doubt they replace Elon unless he does something so awful they have no choice. The day he leaves, the stock plummets way more. Tesla is a...

My two bolts were there. Just not screwed in! Both were sitting on part of the plastic bumper. Whatever machine was supposed to screw them in, dropped them instead! I’m amazed they stayed there for over a year!

Newly Installed CTX bumper.

Plenty of responses already, but here is another… I have had my truck for 1 year. I like it more now than when I got it. I have seen all the popular negative YouTube videos out there, and pretty much all of them try to pass off opinions as facts. There are so many things to love about the...

Ok, I finished install today (all but light wiring as I don’t have the harness yet.) I said earlier it took me 8 hours, it was more like 10, plus another 2-3 hours for final figment of all the under panels. That part was tough, as I couldn’t get things lined up and I had to do a lot of work to...

That’s correct, I went with the WARN winch. I honestly didn’t do a lot of research. In hindsight, I should have gone synthetic. The WARN steel roller bars are going to stick out like a sore thumb on the front. I was somehow thinking the rollers might be partially hidden behind the bumper, but...

I installed my CTX bumper today. Mostly went well… except… I don’t have an extension cable for the winch control box as shown in the image below. I was able to skip it and get the bumper on, but can’t finish without it. I’m trying to figure out if I didn’t get one, or if I’m missing something...

Thanks, this all makes sense now. I found more info on their website on a different page right before I saw your post. This is the last time I preorder something that lacks all the details. I should have waited to buy, paid about the same price, had more details to make a better buying...

Really? Weird. In their videos, they discuss connecting the voltage regulator (which connects to lights) to the 48v frunk power so you can turn them on and off from the screen. The lights just plug into the voltage regulator and run when you power it. Having a separate key Fob is janky, would...

I may be confused, but it doesn’t seem right. - The winch has an on/off switch. The frunk power can be on and the battery can be charged/charging, but the winch won’t be on unless you activate it. - Lights do not have an on/off switch. If they are connected to the battery, they will be ON until...

Did anyone else order the winch and battery but not the lights? I was going to get my own lights. I selected lights on the product page and put power unit only. The kit came with a battery charger, but I was also expecting a 48v to 12v step down box. I assume this would power the lights and go...

Thanks! I might have missed that in the videos. I was working while watching them. Will update post.

For others going to install this bumper soon. Here is a list of all the tools required for each step of the CTX bumper compiled from all the install videos. (Combined Master List at the end). Bumper Removal Torx T25, T20, T8 (T-handle preferred) ¼ drive ratchet w/ 3” extension Sockets...

Going to install mine soon. A few Questions for install if you can help: - Is there anything you can prep ahead of time to save time on install? I have parts out, tools set aside, but without watching full videos and taking summary notes, not sure what order things have to be done in. - I...

Agree on it sticking out, I have the CTX sitting in my garage for install. Hoping I can deal with its looks since it’s too late! I am putting on a winch. If I was not using a winch, I might have skipped this bumper because I like the flush look better. that said, other than it sticking out...

Does anyone know if any current recalls require work on the bumper area? I need to get all that done and may take it in before I install this just in case they don’t want to work on it. Is Tesla good about working around mods for service?

“…Please plan for the installation to take 1-2 full days.” Well, my finished install may be a while. The last time I had that long was…. Hmmm…. Maybe…. Nope! ?

that’s correct. As far as I understand, there are a few reasons the Lidar went away. 1. Cost, LiDAR has gotten cheaper, but it’s still costly compared to cameras. 2. LiDAR provides a specific sort of data, but I believe it made it harder to train the FSD models. If the LiDAR says there is an...

Nice Butt though… this could have been a lot worse. You could have seen a butt so ugly it would have haunted your dreams!

I got out of my truck to walk into Lowe’s and a guy who saw me get out asked “Is that your Tesla?” I said “The truck. Yes”… he said “Fascist” and walked away. I said “Thanks.” I was a little worried he would do something to my truck, but not because of the truck, but because my family was in...
