Can we talk about this CT winch bumper?

@EV Sportline - We will buy for our R1 rigs. We must be just as large an accessory market as the CT; was there more requests for a winch capable bumper for that chassis compared to our Rivians?

Sure solving the power issue is one thing; but being able to actually mount a winch securely is a much larger problem. And yes, just setting a 12 V battery in the frunk is an option

Ya I was also surprised one came out for the city fridge before the adventure vehicles.

My guess is that it is a reflection of expected demand.

The cybertruck may look dumb but Tesla is producing a ton of them. Tesla built 30,000 cybertrucks last quarter. Rivian built 50,000 vehicles last YEAR. And Tesla may still be ramping up.

It may be an objectively worse vehicle but it is a lot more profitable to build parts for higher volume vehicles.

Can you cross post this into the Cybertruck Laugh of the Day thread? Thanks!

I’m sure you’re correct - all due to volume. And sadly expected. The CT will be far more of a BroDozer than the basic mall crawler an R1 will likely end up as.

Quick buy a second Rivian everyone - pump those numbers…. kidding.

I would bet that the install is less demanding on the Cybertruck than it would be on a Rivian. Cybertruck seems to have gone the traditional separate bumper vs Rivian's that combines with other features of the vehicle.
