So I’m genuinely curious even though I understand your opinion may be colored by the fact that it’s a piece of your business, how much of a pain in the ass is dearmoring?
Not bad. The exterior trim was no issue at all (all the smooth trim; flares, bumpers, rockers, frunk etc) - 20 mins to get it all off. The bed took the most time, since that's a more abrasive and weirdly absorbent surface, so tends to hold on to it a bit more. The main trick is to pull it off at a right-angle, and when it's not too warm; that leaves minimal residue. I did have to use some 3M adhesive remover in the bed to get it looking 'perfect', as I wasn't sure how fussy Tesla would be with the return. They say to remove all third-party accessories, but also accept 'reasonable wear and tear'. In that context, this was one of the most babied Cybertrucks out there, and had only done 6k miles, so relatively speaking it was a very clean return!

Looks like this will be an uphill battle. Anyone know how to find the part number or should I just get the Amazon version?

Just take a CT for a "test drive" and if the demo model happens to come back with those pieces missing then you tell them you haven't seen anything like that come from Tesla and don't know what they are talking about..

Nah. @AO-Pete came through in the clutch and the rest of that text conversation ended in a part number.
I like the way you think but maybe our friend @ABILISK….I’m not so sure.

Damn doc if anything it might’ve pushed me over the edge to leave. I think it’s time to transfer what “skills” I can be considered to have to contributing to future development. I’ll protect and serve those either accelerating the worlds transition to sustainable abundance or those making humanity multiplanetary.
