Don’t care too much about a plough. But I do hope Tesla’s front and rear bumpers are somewhat modular or replaceable so you can support things like this. Similarly, a big pusher bumper. Winch mounts, hooks. Cow catchers, you name it.

No plow, no deal. Gotta have a snow plow capability, and NOT attached to rear hitch (can't imagine plowing my driveway backwards). All I need is a 2" hitch receiver on the front and a 12v hookup.

I know that there are some light-duty plows with aluminum blades (i.e. snowsport).

However, I do I run a stainless wear-edge on the small plow I use on my compact tractor. I don't want the plow-scrape shavings that rust and turn into brown scrape marks on my new concrete driveway, Also I don't have to worry about leaving a rust stain line on my garage floor where I park it.
Polyurethane edge solves that and wear less

I am going to need to attach a snow plow. Stainless steel, of course, V plow. Do you think this will be a one-off or standard procedure?
This will be a one-off (custom).

You will need to get a custom mount for it done if you want a V-Plow (I am assuming Sno-Way, Boss, or Western).

Some of the dealers I have worked with in the past in Colorado can make them.

I started a thread on this subject a while ago. As more user experience and reviews come out, it’s apparent that this truck is not purpose built for work. The main focus seems to be attention getting appearance, new technology showcase and sporty, off road capability. I am looking forward to getting ours although I’m not really the “How do you like me now? Range Rover type”. Perhaps there will be some as yet undiscovered utility uses. Also, without any apparent undercarraige mounting points a typical plow would be difficult to install securely.

An underbody frame is not 'work'. It's just how you're used to working.

That doesn't disagree with me. It's not just the air dam that's in the way.

Well you said "Nope" to his question when he asked if you can attach a plow to a F150 Lightening. The proper response was "It would require modification"... not "Nope". I was disagreeing with the "Nope".

I think it is going to come down to the attachment kit you use and plow manufacturer. Most plows have various attachment kits to fit the frame of different models. You would really need to check with the manufacturer of the plow you are considering or a third-party mounting kit provider. If they are not going to make a kit, then it might be a one-off if you are not willing to wait.

Of course, the other consideration is, what is the front-axle weight rating for the CT. I have not seen that, but it is something to validate before you put up to 1000 pounds hanging on the front. I know the frunk is limited to somewhere between 400 and 500 pounds.

Others may have more information or better information.
