If wind / aerodynamics and towing are real factors of battery usage. . . Then PUSHING should produce some real scary numbers. ?

Does anyone know that the vertical and horizontal compression and tension loads are on the front of the Cybertruck?

It won’t be good for the CT if the snowplow setup exceeds that during use.

At those points? Pretty much zero. Tow hooks only expect to see pulling/ tension loads, not compression (other than crash), not vertical, and definitely not long lever arm torques.

(Unless Tesla preplanned for accessories)

Ya, my thoughts too. Snow plow IMO is a bad idea.

I LOVE it
Come rain come snow
Let that truck work ???

I'm not familiar with snow plow attachments. The pictures make it seem like the plow is attached to a hitch, which is attached to a bracket that is attached to the front tow hooks. Is this the normal way of attaching a snow plow or is it jerry-rigged? My assumption is more attachment points can lead to more potential issues outside of the horizontal compression forces other have mentioned.

It would be cool to see a stainless steel V snowplow engineered properly through Tesla. I’m sure they can engineer and streamline a V plow.?

I'd love a smaller and lighter version to clear the driveway. Hopefully a more refined versions comes out before winter hits.

Ok, I know how people can be, so please refrain from any highly strung emotional outburst as it might endanger your health.

Sitting comfortably, so for over ten years I've been successfully plowing my driveway with a relatively inexpensive light weight plow by DR. Power; it's made with aluminum and rubber.
All I need on the Cybertruck is a front end hitch receiver which enable to continue this practice.
I keep the ATV for "tidy up" and getting into tighter places

A ladder frame truck with a front mounted engine has slightly different design margins and mount points than a cast EV...

Presumably a truck expected to travel off road would have tow hooks built for vertical as well as side loading. If you get stuck you can't always count on being pulled straight ahead. That said, repeated plow use seems like a good way to introduce stress cracks into the casting unless you go very easy.
