Yeah, I have exactly THREE tools in my shop that use 220. The table saw (had to reconfigure it), the dust collector, and the spindle on my CNC.

all of them are BIG and STATIONARY..... they don't leave the shop.

What job site tools use 220? A welder?

Me thinks 99% of us will use the 110v only (if that).

for me, In the frunk, yes 110v is sufficient! In the bed I'll use 220v for electric dirt bike, charge my RV batteries, etc

Could be leasing?

RV. Imagine going camping and no having to listen (or smell) your nieghbor's generator.

RVs really only use 120v. They bring power in through a 240v plug, but only use it as two 120v legs. Even the A/C units are 120v.

It could be bigger for sure, but how many family members to you grocery shop for? It's the width of the truck so I'd say at least 4.5' wide by 1.x' deep x 2.x' tall....ok, maybe not a Costco run....

I make Costco runs in my 'Vette. Did it yesterday, including their ginormous bales of paper towels and bath tissues, a case of cat litter and two cases of water, plus the smaller stuff. You just have to know how to pack

IMO, the frunk is disappointingly small for such a massive vehicle. I feel like this wouldn't even fit a full load of groceries.

Frunkster......

Several Lightnings have helped other EVs out of a jam by using their 220 to charge out of juice stranded folks. I just use one extension cord out of my 220 during outage and use 5 120s at the other end of the cord in the house to feed other extension cords. I am really glad I have the 220V in my truck.

 

[HaulingAss]

Iam sure it will be added later.

Are you predicting Cybertruck initially won't come with a 240V outlet?

I predict you will be wrong.

My response is not to debate with you. You seem like a negative Nellie. But, to all others on here. 3mm stainless is pretty thick. Awhile back one the members on this forum made CT shaped bottle openers. I have one on my keyring and I've taken through security checks probably 50 times without a problem.

You are correct, the 3mm thickness makes it less dangerous than point of a knife. But it is more dangerous than a rounded corner. Since I started this, I should say where I come from. I was a bit active on Rivian Forum when I was seriously considering one. There was an edge similar to these corners on R1T gear tunnel door that has caused several injuries, one of which looked very bad with a ton of stitches. If you weld the piece you are showing to a 7000 lb truck (it is going nowhere upon impact) and if I trip and bang my temple to it, approximately half the weight of my body multiplied by the speed of my head on that small edge can take me out for good. Give the same edge a small radius and I may survive.

Ah, that's nothing. We made it through the 60's and the 80's with many more dangerous sharp objects to worry about.

I know, right? This "too sharp" mindset is the same kind of mindset that outlawed Erector Sets (and is probably why the US fell behind other countries in engineering and manufacturing). This same mindset would outlaw pointy surfboards, if they could, because you might hit your head on that.

Scissors with blunt tips, they might not cut as well, but at least you won't poke yourself with them! Anyone notice how forks in restaurants have flat tips these days, so you can't poke your tongue? Well, you also can't stab your food as well, either, which is why forks used to have pointy tips. Good thing the fork tines are not made from 3mm thick stainless steel, you would crush an olive before the tine would even penetrate it!

We will know society is about to fail when they make needles dull, so nurses and seamstresses don't poke themselves!

 

[CYBRSMTH]

Does it close all the way?

Thickness doesn’t matter. If it’s a pointed edge and you move your head with a certain velocity (not even that fast), it’s going to break skin and leave a bad mark.

That's it!!!
No Cybertruck for you Ralphie. You'll poke your eye out!

I hit my head like that once..... only I didn't say... FUDGE!
