Chevy 10.2 kW & Ford 9.6 kW -- "The Silverado EV offers up to 10.2 kilowatts of energy, a skosh more than the Ford's 9.6 kilowatts."
Generally the plug type determines amperage. That is a 50amp plug generally used for 240V. P=AV so it’s likely a 12kW outlet.

yearly production rate is no doubt an interesting metric - but I don't know that I'm following its relevance here, now?

CT's production rate is currently zero?

And whatever it's production rate may be, say, 6 months from now, I'm still not certain of the relevance?
Used more for a metric when it comes to price after the announcement. If the price is north of $70k, I suspect we'll know what the first 6 months production number looks like. Same for any number south of $60k. If they expect 200k/yr, they'll need a very low cost, IMO. At least after 6 months. Just my opinion

I wish. It looks like the anchor point.
It’s an anchor point. It’s very likely that there will be no on board air port. Allowing a connection to the compressed air system could compromise the suspension which is a a critical operating feature on the vehicle. I doubt they would be allowed to if they wanted to. It would be like tying your hydraulic brake line to an auxiliary port so you could open something with the hydraulic pressure.

I’m seriously wondering if the Ramcharger is going to end up as the best all around EV-ish work truck.
Depends how one defines "work."

1. tow 7k dump trailer around town for work (my current use case)
2. tow horse trailer state to state
3. kiddo school errands
4. camping - near or far from home (my current use case)
5...

Cybertruk "works" for me!

Towing with a 120-140 kWh battery might not get you far, even with SC locations.

Earlier today, a $TSLA simp (whole mars) was lambasting a story for saying the new Ram with generator had "infinite" range. The take-down involved some xwtitter quip like, "is there no integrity to these ICE companies anymore?"

I was *nearly* bothered to reply a screenshot of "tow infinite mass"

It's easily done in an isolation tank way with back up valving if a leak in system is found. Like in air brakes, etc. Will see though. Can't wait to get mine 2023!!! I'll let you know.

14,000 supposedly for the RamCharger.

Hybrid seems to be besides the point, will towing require the generator?
So now you have to go to both stations to "recharge" and "refuel"?
This doesn't seem practical or worth the effort.
You're also converting chemical to mechanical to electrical energy right?

The range is impressive but this doesn't seem like a good solution.

This is an ev with an onboard generator.

Simply: because it doesn't exit

The "WT" if fleet only. And, they appear to have sold a few to date to a strategic partner (like Tesla's Semi "sales" to Pepsi). Irrelevant to me.

Meanwhile, the only retail version we have any data on is the flagship, with a $107K MSRP. That model's stats, and pricing, may change materially between now and 2025 when they (now) say they'll re-attempt launch. Irrelevant to me.

Besides, when 6 months ago people would try and compare the Lightning to the CT, I was pretty principled and vocal that there's no relevant comparison to make unless/until the CT is actually released, and with the release information.

Consistency
For those curious, here is where the Interior Numbers Fall for the Silverado EV RTS.

You know this is a forum for a Tesla vehicle right?
This is where expectations come to grow and flourish regardless of evidence, sensibility or practicality.
It's where the echo chamber amplifies them and encourages even further expectations to build and build.

Quick history snippet. Remembering back to the Model 3 prior to the reveal. The TMC forum took a single tweet from EM about the interior where he said "its like a spaceship"
The echo chamber there eventually got to - its going to have a huge heads up display and the other screen was just a backup. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
I guarantee we will see youtubers trying to go fishing in their Cybertrucks all to watch them sink.

Its been a wild journey for sure. I just hope the specs and pricing do in fact outperform the competition otherwise the wait will have mostly been for a stainless name brand. I do think Tesla will impress us.

Rivian has a separate compressor from the air suspension system, so totally practical/ doable, although it clearly won't be an option in the initial Cybertruck model

Worth noting nothing was leaked. This is a list someone compiled using other things people have said/guessed.

Also,Tow rating might be 11,000 on dual but more power comes more ability, thus rating for tri would increase.

Nov 30 can’t come fast enough.
