Anyone found snowplow info?

Anyone have any news about snow plow mounting? Partner companies? Software code they found?

I am thinking that an aftermarket heavy duty from bumper with a lockable angle fairly light plow would do a good job, just using the 10 inches of air lift the truck already has.
Thoughts?

Mechanically might work, but my concern is front sensors must be shut off to plow...vehicles won't move if sensors read an object is 16 inches in front of truck.

Those are good questions, Rick b. I sure hope there's a way to put a snow plow on it.
I've been wondering about attachment points for a plow frame, but never even thought to consider the sensors. The only sensor my 2003 Tacoma has is me!
Does anyone know the answers? Even an educated guess could be helpful.

I have a feeling a plow could be added, but it will be exceptionally difficult to make happen if there isn't OEM support.

As a comparison, Lightning isn't setup for plowing. One guy on YouTube posted a video for how you can make it work. It looks like a real pain to make happen.

Maybe a relatively light plow for personal use makes sense but wouldn’t anything heavy duty for commercial purposes have the same battery issues as heavy towing?Short life in the cold.

K2 has snow plows. mounts on front hitch and tow hook points. Like they all do. Tesla Truck would be easy to install. Need to install a front mount hitch point bolted from tow hook points only. Simple. Also need to put a 12 volt battery in the Frunk and done. The winch on plow works off wireless controller to raise and lower which again is normal for any plow these days. So no need at all to hook up to the CT. I have one I use on my Hummer H2 and 1952 Willys M38 Jeep. the plow is about 5 feet in front of vehicle so plenty of room to tilt as well.

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 blade, winch or hydraulic operated lift and tilt and wireless controls so, as suggested, a 12 volt battery mount box mounted to the plow somehow or in frunk and simple power and charging wiring is all thats needed. No connection need to cybertruck at all.
Snow Bear, DK2, SnowSport, etc. $1200 to $3000 price range.
You want one with springs that will let it fold forward if you hit a curb or ledge....
the variable height air suspension should come in handy for installation and maybe even for plowing....
Figuring out how to add a 2 inch receiver to the front of the truck or other affixing points via costom brackets or adding an aftermarket heavy duty front bumper are options. It would be useful to be able to push something with that truck too...
The serious heavy duty pickup truck frame mounted plows are just stinking heavy and cumbersome and hard to mount and wire.
As long as you can plow heavier or deeper snow in stages and early before it freezes hard or drifts too deep, these should be quite useful.
Figuring out how to get the truck to ignore the forward camera obstruction and the shocks from pushing snow and hitting ledges etc. Don't want to deploy those airbags!!!! or have too much horizontal shock hitting the frame and hammering the batteries.

This is a light setup I copied on my model x. works well but backing up to plow is a headache. i just hope for an easy 2" receiver mount upfront on CT. that's all you need for this setup. perfect for home use. https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...will-be-the-best-truck-for-plowing-snow.5992/
