FYI: Tesbros launches a striking mirror delete kit for the Tesla Cybertruck, catering to select U.S. states where minimalistic designs thrive.
The Tesla Cybertruck has become a canvas for personalization, and the latest accessory from Tesbros takes it a step further. Known for their innovative approach, Tesbros has introduced a delete kit designed to streamline the Cybertruck’s appearance by removing its mirrors—though this is only feasible in select American states.
Simplifying the Cybertruck’s Look
Driven by aesthetics and functionality, Tesbros has crafted a solution to conceal any unsightly gaps left by the removal of the mirrors. This streamlined cover employs a bracket similar to that of the original mirror, ensuring a seamless finish.
Legal Landscape Across States
Remarkably, some states, such as Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, and Montana, allow vehicles to operate without the need for two side mirrors. This legal ambiguity opens the door for owners who prefer the Cybertruck’s original mirrorless concept, as initially envisioned by Tesla before regulatory constraints forced modifications.
Limited Edition and High Demand
Tesbros has approached the design with precision, using recycled steel from a Cybertruck door to achieve color matching perfection. Offering a limited run of just 80 units priced at $299 each, the kits sold out swiftly—demonstrating significant consumer interest despite the premium cost.
Adapting to User Feedback
However, feedback from users on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum suggests that initial designs might require enhancements. One owner experienced adhesive issues but found that their replacement kit functioned effectively. This indicates an ongoing process of refinement and adaptation based on real-world use.
Conclusion
The appeal of Tesbros’ mirror delete kit underscores a growing desire for customization in the electric vehicle market. Should legal requirements shift over time, demand could further increase, motivating additional production runs.
