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.

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.

It is a bit easier to develop and install an aftermarket bumper for the CT than the Rivians, but we're listening! If the demand is there, our engineers will work on a solution. Let me talk to Brian...

In the meantime, anyone with a "city fridge" need a heavy duty bumper? 😜

Hey I hope the Cybertruck bumpers sell for you guys - means more possibilities for the under supported rigs ;) like our R1 series.
