I'm disappointed they are doing driving tests. Looking forward to the teardown.

Any ideas why the magnetic attachment for the front piece? I don’t see why they’d do that — it isn’t something I’d think will be removed often.

At least for me, I think it's a great idea, as the plastic snap-rivets are notorious for breaking even with careful removal. If I was DIYing a fix under that plastic, I would appreciate being able to work under there and not be scrambling for a spare part when trying to put it all back together.

Someone mentioned that it could be for when the winch bumper is available.

I've never had a winch, is it something that needs frequent access? If so, the magnets make sense?

I've never had one either. Just saw it mentioned as a potential reason.
