Sell me on the OEM crossbars

[petercyber]

I bought two sets and until I got my rack from Mars I had them on and they’re the only crossbars I would put on my truck. They’re very easy to put on and take off. Quick release is fantastic and I think they look fantastic as well. Highly recommend and I’ve got an UNopened box that I could be convinced to sell you

Ditto that, they are the easiest to install AND lock, any other brand they use screws and bolts and it is bulky and a whole project to remove them. The OEM you just unlock it with a key and that's it. Same to put them on, unlock the end of the cross bars, and push it in, "click" and it's locked.

Nah, don't go with this, look at the gymastics you have to do to install it or uninstal it.

"Heavy duty" it's just a verbage so you think they are better than the OEM. But they are not.

Don’t entirely disagree with you here but different strokes for different folks you know? If you’re looking to put something REALLY heavy and flat on there and building an off-road “rig” maybe it is better for your application? That said, for my truck, I wouldn’t consider any crossbars other than the oem ones. They are unmatched by the aftermarket currently.
Generally speaking , Cybertruckco is a pretty solid and trustworthy source in my experience though. I’ve done business with him. He’s also pretty easy to get a hold of just to address an earlier comment about unresponsiveness.
I’m not saying you should buy the crossbars he posted, I didn’t either, just that he’s a standup dude and that Cybertruckco has historically been very important for the development of the CT aftermarket and I feel compelled to stand up for him in the face of some of these comments.
Save your Ire (yes @mongo, Ire)for the crooks overseas who are stealing everyone’s products, making them for dirt cheap and screwing over owners with pricing strategies and marketing lies.

I agree with you, however, it doesn't seat well with me when they are trying to piggy back riding when someone is talking about the OEM ones. It would be a better approach to show it as an alternative, not a desperate way of pushing their product diminishing the OEM quality as not as "heavy duty " as theirs.

Absolutely. I agree. Poor form, but from prior interactions an overall good dude.

I know that, I have some of their products and no complain here, it just look as an oportunist , trying to make a sale. The conversation was about OEM, stay away from it, customers are not dumb. Also, let customers recommend your product, not yourself. Shitty strategy.

And speaking of not dumb, I can’t honestly think of any way at all the Tesla engineers could have made those crossbars better.
They are indeed awesome. Worth every penny I spent on them.
I have two of them and have considered getting another two.
Does anyone know if they can be rekeyed to use the same key for all 4?

I purchased 4, and the keys works on both sets, they come in sets of 2, so I am assuming the keys are universal to Tesla. Double check with customer service.

Mine were keyed with a Yakima SKS key A137. I suspect they all use the same lock cylinder.
