If wind / aerodynamics and towing are real factors of battery usage. . . Then PUSHING should produce some real scary numbers. ?
Saw this custom snowplow install on a Cybertruck online. No other info yet.

I think this is a good idea, but instead of pushing the snow how about a snowblower front attachment ? This would eliminate heavy snow loads on the gigacastings and just toss that snow to the side! Let's design this . Needed for my heavy upstate NY winters !

Trucks have been pushing snow plows for decades without issue. There are good reasons why you almost never see a truck mounted snow blower.

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.
I have a plow on my Dodge. It uses this type of bracket attached to the frame. I’m assuming the attachment points on CT used are on the frame .. so should be fine. I’m pretty sure Tesla said plows would be fine .. but afaik no formal communication on this point lately.
