Why would an aftermarket company want stock parts, even the pretenders?
Sounds about right for every after market manufacturer... And I've done a lot of aftermarket junk on my wrangler lol
I think I'm sharp enough to get the point they are trying to sell you parts that make your vehicle perform worse...but cost the most amount of money possible.I think you are missing the point
Most of the post I quoted of yours was about areo ... and to that you missed the point.I think I'm sharp enough to get the point they are trying to sell you parts that make your vehicle perform worse...but cost the most amount of money possible.
Most "real" ICE truckers around here won't get how adding them will stop you from getting far enough away from a Supercharger, so you can even get offroad to use them.
Sure the upper suspension arms look like it will melt if you look at it to hard, but there are more pressing mods required to this thing than an external molly rack cheese grater called the aero Moby Dick.
1) detatchable stabilser bar linkage front and rear - this trumps a stupid 2.5" lift kit that requires a complete suspension rebuild. Should cost about $100 a pop for a manual version, $3-500 for electric. The CT will forever suck at the articulation limits without them
2) Air suspension cross link valve - also for load balancing across the wheels at full articulation for better all wheel traction (this is 20 year old Landrover tech btw)
3) Spare tyre rack that improves aero in the rear - there are luggage boxes that do this already for M3/MY
4) Front bull bar that still lets you use the frunk and also improves aero and protects the undeath of the radiator from impact...you will be going no where fast if that takes a hit. Just like an ICE radiator. Of all the places it needs protection its not the empty frunk 3ft off the ground, and that costs a fraction to replace in comparison to the radiator etc.
5) Roof rack bars that minimises, not increases rear airflow separation off the rear roof and vault... might as well ditch the vault cover overboard otherwise
6) deployable rear diffuser built into rear bumper, for both good aero and best possible departure angles
7) Those wheels and lift kit alone will rob anywhere between 10-20% range...good job tesla is making the range extender.
8) can't beat the placement of the hood light bar, and to take the opportunity to replace the whole frunking hood to install it there...aero say "hi" to you third airflow separation parachute...and you haven't even left the front bonnet yet
Honestly though, the only good idea is the clip adapter to mount the Starlink pole in the bed rail. Bad luck that idea is shafted now with the latest dishy not requiring a dancy pole any more at all.
Talk about being "unplugged"... from reality.
I'm not sure what point you mean now.
Sorry for the confusion. At a high level, some will add these parts to look cool/rugged and don't care as much about areo/efficiency. HTH
There is a small segment of douchebags who are buying a Cybertruck because they think a truck, especially one like the Cybertruck, will make them look cool or invincible, people trying to pretend to be something they are not, and never will be. They will be the primary customers of these kinds of mods. To them I say, "Mod away", it will provide a quick visual give-away as to who the real fakers are. I didn't see a single product, with the possible exception of the beadlock wheel/tires, that will increase the off-road capabilities in any meaningful way (and many products that would meaningfully handicap the Cybertruck when compared to an unmodified Cybertruck).
