Now if the bumpers, hood light and light bar would just hit shipping. Its been a loooooong wait.

Rear bumpers have started shipping to backorders.
When yours is ready, we are being asked to verify shipping addresses, so you will be contacted.

Items with 48v LED lights will be in Q1.
Thank you for being so patient as we ramp up production.
It was a huge undertaking to produce so many products of this nature.

Working through backorders. If you have an order in place, you will be contacted before shipping for any balance due and to verify the shipping address.

If you don't have an order in place we can take a deposit to get you into the order queue.

How long does it take to attach the bars and panels?

How much of a hit to range does that do?

-Crissa
We allocate 5 hrs for installation.
Don't know about range impact, there are just too many variables.
You have to determine the need for the utility vs. a minor range hit.

Soap Box Talk follows:
I've been driving a Tesla since 2015 when charging infrastructure was 1/10 of what it is today.
Been on many road trips all over CA, NV, UT, AZ, and NM. I don't even plan anymore about charging.
Tesla charging is fast if you stay within the sweet spot of 10-80% SOC and use the Tesla Route Planner.
Tesla has been ramping up CT charging speeds with OTA updates, which is amazing. If you can charge at home, range should even be less of a factor for daily driving.

Ironically, I see ICE trucks & 4x4's that drive around with excessive lift, massive rims & tires that stick way out, carrying spares on top of roof racks and they don't care about the huge hit on MPG.

Well, I do calculate that stuff out and have set up my bars and cargo pod to be added or subtracted in about 15 minutes.

I just don't like using energy I don't have to. Other people are allowed to burn their money on the highway if they want to. ^-^

You want to see my car with and without cargo bars?

Tesla Cybertruck Customer install of UP Roof Racks and MOLLE Sails IMAG0095_Original
During the CZU fire, right before I put the rack on to evacuate;

in the Mountains east of Alturas, hopping between obsidian mines with just the pod for quick overnight camping;

Black Rock City, 2019; with full camp setup lashed to bars instead of a pod.

I don't have a picture of the hanger for it because I put it away somewhere when I rebuilt our car port, but I used something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/2004-Cycle-Products-Bike-Hoist/dp/B003TFOPJA/

As long as you have it all the pieces connected (I have lightweight bike rails atop the bars) to keep the spacing intact, once it's all together, popping a rack on and off is a breeze. The Mazda uses smaller/fewer bolts, but it's otherwise similar. Much easier and quicker than swapping tires and can have a bigger impact upon range

-Crissa

(And yeah, I have $50k saved up for the truck. I can be patient.)

It's good you're still hanging in there. I'm a flip flopping fish out of water regarding the Cybertruck. Drove one and liked it a lot but unfortunately I had to look at it entering/exiting. I know that's a really superficial take but then, I'm a superficial guy so true to my nature. /s
