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?

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.

Stainless steel snow plows seem to be a thing around here. My nephew had one and all the big boys do too. Center pivot is the most fun type, called a V plow. Probably around $5,500 installed on a “normal” truck. I hope those clever California engineers make a provision for us North Easterners.

I need a snowplow on mine also. I sent a question to Tesla about two months ago and haven't heard anything back. If it can't have a plow mounted then It will be only 50% value to me because I do plow about 65 customers with our current trucks. We would use this for local driveways and small businesses close to home. KDN

Mine needs to plow.
Plow and Sand.

Otherwise this dog don't hunt.

I couldn't care less what it looks like.

And I am certainly not interested in any status symbol.

I also need a snow plow on the Cyber truck. It would replace our Ram 3500. It’s a deal breaker if no plow.

I will put a drag plow on the hitch if I can't put one on the front. Even a light duty plow on the front will do. Too bad there isn't more info on what it will be able to do.

I would think someone could device a glove like apparatus that would transfer the forces evenly to the exoskeleton. You could put neoprene to protect the metal from scratches. The whole thing could be held on with straps. Blue tooth controls and a power tap.
