A great looking chart

but some corrections that cause me to caution the content isn’t exactly unbiased (intentionally or unintentionally):

• bi-directional charging is plenty possible with a Lightning absent Ford Charge Starion Pro

• Lightning total cargo is way off (he’s listing only the bed plus Frunk, while the CT numbers include rear seat cargo with seats up, while Rivian’s number is to me pure fiction - it includes every drink holder, cubby, and possible place you can fit a coin in edgewise) - lightning has more main cargo (Frunk, bed, and rear seat) than either the CT or the Rivian (including their sub-bed storage and gear th tunnel

• I don’t know why he lists Rivian as “unibody/BOF hybrid” then doesn’t know that applies ~equally to the CyberTruck

• Lightning bed width he lists only the between-wheel-wells figure (rest of bed is 65” wide)

• CyberTruck ground clearance listed is to me a partial fiction - 17” is only in extract mode, which is a limited use case ~emergency setting with special handling instructions - list the real world “very high” setting of 14.4”

• maybe the biggest, he claims the CT is FSD ready - it’s not been mentioned in the event, website, or pricing configurations



All-in-all, this compare feels like a Tesla enthusiast who did their best to buy in to Tesla’s marketing (or in case of FSD, even make it up), and did their least effort (or most biased take) on the competition


@Old Spice feel free to share above corrections with whomever/wherever this is from

probably others, but above on first pass

?

CT is entirely unibody, Rivian has a traditional frame.

• maybe the biggest, he claims the CT is FSD ready - it’s not been mentioned in the event, website, or pricing configurations

Hardware is there? They'll have to do some retraining for CT specifically but I don't think it's controversial to say it will have it. The problem is not so much that CT isn't FSD ready but that FSD itself isn't ready ...

If you're going to list 'full self driving ready' you should add in 'hands off mode' for Ford, which is something they do have, if limited, like the flashlight.

Looking at this as objectively as I can, I walk away with the following impression.

The new kids on the block, that are dedicated to electric only, are the leaders in every category. The legacy OEMs are in a world of hurt (in this market). Kinda reminds me of the 80's, when the US made garbage and the japanese auto invasion began in full force. And in my opinion, we have NEVER caught up...

Dimension wise, Lightning has much larger Frunk, much larger cabin, much larger bed. The only weak point is shorter (67" vs 72") bed.

If you just want a full size electric truck, Lightning is the one. It has larger battery and real world range is no less than CT.

Can't wait to get my Cyber Truck. Can someone update the stats on the chart. CT is getting a biased review, still the best truck of the 3.

CT is good for quads and snowmobiles, things of that nature. A stack of 5 sheets does better. And more room if you camp in the bed of the CT. Both great and fun trucks.
