Personally, it’s looking more like the R1T is the better truck for adventure/lifestyle purposes

It's a rumor ... of course I'm doubtful ... why wouldn't you be?
Common for EV’s. Rivian is 8500lbs and smaller than a full size.Curb weight is at Ram 2500 class?
I think you are confusing this with how a series hybrid works. 92 kWh would be plenty of energy to drive those motors in battery-only towing (until some cutoff of something like 10-20% SOC).As far as range goes, it's pretty impressive and probably beats most gas trucks too. The problem is this: The generator can also increase the power to the motor and gearbox when serious power is needed. If I'm towing something closer to the limits, won't it mean that the generator will likely need to always be on?
I guess it was necessary in order to fit in std. garage. I'd be satisfied if the rear gate folded down and a retaining lip flipped up so it could securely carry a full sheet of plywood, like the Silverado.Pretty disappointed with the 72.8” bed length..........

I very very very strongly believe the info shown today is accurate
In a digital world, why would they need to update service manuals with these specs included? The manuals could be updated within a few minutes. As much as these specs seem realistic, I wonder if 100% of them are real. The best disinformation is mixed in with real information. Mix in some towing, max tongue weight and frunk weight capacity at 420 with the real dimensions. lolI 100% believe you're convinced it's true
Some nuance, the Ford ProPower is divided between three inverters, a pair of 3.6kW per phase that adds up to the L14-30r 220-240@30Amps is 7.2kW from the bed. and then a 2.4kW inverter that services the cab and frunk.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."
Yes, the 120v outlets are the 20amp version versus the more normal 15amp outlets. The extra cross hatch pin gives it away. As such, 120v*20a is 2.4kW (2kW if you round downn) per each of those outlets. They are very likely each on a different phase which when combined yields the 240vac plug. This is how the Ford ProPower works, the bed has a single L14-30r 240vac outlet and a pair of 120vac 20a plugs on each of those two 240vac phases, four total 120vac outlets.Maybe the 120v outlets are 2kw each?
Can we laugh at this too?I loved that meme of the Rivian and Cybertruck - Get in if you want live
[edit]
knew I'd find it if I hunted for it
No worries. Normally I use this better distinguishing quote from a good article I found some time ago:Some nuance, the Ford ProPower is divided between three inverters, a pair of 3.6kW per phase that adds up to the L14-30r 220-240@30Amps is 7.2kW from the bed. and then a 2.4kW inverter that services the cab and frunk.
Sorry if this has already been pointed out, I'm on page 2/19 thus far. I have used the Lightning ProPower to charge three other BEVs at a car show, it's one of my favorite features. If the CyberTruck is truly a 14-50r with 12kW that will be awesome, only wish the plug and socket were a twist lock type to prevent accidental unplugging under load which would be "exciting" and undesirable.
