The Ultimate Cybertruck Accessories and Mods Guide for 2026: What Actually Works | Taha Abbasi

Modifying the Unmodifiable

Taha Abbasi shares his hands-on experience with the growing Cybertruck aftermarket ecosystem. When the Cybertruck launched, skeptics questioned whether its unconventional design would attract the modification culture that defines truck ownership in America. A year later, the answer is emphatic: the Cybertruck aftermarket is thriving, with hundreds of accessories and modifications available from dozens of suppliers.

As the owner of a Cybertruck he has named Kemosabe, Taha has tested many of these products firsthand. This guide focuses on the modifications that actually work — improving functionality, capability, or aesthetics — versus those that are overpriced, poorly designed, or unnecessary.

Essential Accessories Every Owner Needs

The Cybertruck ships surprisingly complete from the factory, but several accessories address genuine gaps. A bed cover or tonneau cover is arguably the most important addition — the open bed collects rain, snow, and dust. The powered tonneau cover available from Tesla works well but is expensive. Third-party options from companies like Bakflip and UnderCover offer solid alternatives at lower price points.

Taha Abbasi also recommends all-weather floor mats (the stock carpets stain easily), a tailgate step (the bed floor is high), and protective film for the stainless steel body panels in high-impact areas. The stainless steel is durable but shows scratches more visibly than painted surfaces, making protection in vulnerable areas worthwhile.

Off-Road Modifications

For overlanding and off-road use, the Cybertruck’s factory ground clearance and approach angles are already excellent. However, dedicated off-road enthusiasts will want to consider several upgrades. As Taha Abbasi has documented in his previous coverage, aftermarket wheels and tires make the biggest difference in off-road capability. Moving from the factory all-season tires to dedicated all-terrain tires like the BF Goodrich KO2 transforms the truck’s grip on loose surfaces.

Roof racks from companies like Uptop Overland and CBI Offroad enable rooftop tent mounting, additional storage, and lighting. Rock sliders protect the battery pack and lower body panels on technical trails. And recovery boards and a winch — while hopefully never needed — are essential safety equipment for serious off-roading.

Technology and Interior Upgrades

The Cybertruck’s technology suite is comprehensive from the factory, but several upgrades enhance the experience. A wireless charging pad replacement from Jeda or Taptes improves the stock pad’s reliability. Screen protectors prevent scratches on the massive 18.5-inch display. And premium sound deadening material can be added to reduce road noise, which is more noticeable in the stainless steel cabin than in traditional vehicles.

Taha Abbasi particularly recommends investing in the PowerShare home integration kit, which enables the Cybertruck’s vehicle-to-home capability. During power outages, the Cybertruck can power your entire home from its massive battery — a capability that justifies the cost of the integration kit many times over in areas prone to outages.

What to Avoid

Not every aftermarket product is worth the investment. Taha Abbasi warns against cheap stainless steel wraps and covers that trap moisture and accelerate corrosion. Avoid aftermarket lighting that draws excessive power from the 48V system without proper load management. And be cautious with suspension modifications that void Tesla’s warranty without providing meaningful improvement over the factory air suspension.

The Cybertruck aftermarket is still maturing, and quality varies significantly between suppliers. Taha Abbasi recommends sticking with established companies that have engineering expertise and warranty support, even if their products cost more. Your Cybertruck is a significant investment — protect it with accessories that match its quality rather than cutting corners with untested alternatives.
