Great payload, totally predicted that they wouldn't get the 3500lb payload from the reveal. So many in this forum insisted that the payload would be 3500 plus.

Also SMC = sheet moulding compound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_moulding_compound

EXO!

Does it specify which version that is?

This is the first time since reveal we have seen anything about the glass. I am glad to see the "Shatter-Resistant Glass" as I had fears that was one of the things we might not see.

Does it specify which version that is?

3 motor will have lower payload
Same tow rating for both

For comparison:

F150 Lightning– 10,000lb max tow capacity, 2235lb payload
Rivian R1T- 11,000lb may tow capacity, 1764lb payload
Silverado EV WT- 10,000lb max tow capacity, 1400lb payload

Is it not ALON glass?

Does it specify which version that is?

VIN has it a dual

3 motor will have lower payload
Same tow rating for both

thus the language on the sign

“11k towing” (unqualified, invariable)

“up to 2500lb payload” (qualified, variable max)

Yet nothing on tech and mileage... At first I bit the hook and thought "this is the future" now I'm beginning to suspect this may be the next Ford Edsel. Fingers crossed he comes out on stage and hits a grand slam because it's the bottom of the ninth bases loaded and I feel like our team is behind. Lol I need a truck (I have an 08 chevy 3/4 ton) but I could use my $$$ for a mid life crisis buy just as easy and keep my old "S" box!

The difference is likely just the weight difference between the default Two Motor version and what options/trim you choose.

So for example if you choose a Tri-Motor Performance version the difference in weight for the motors/wheels/options would be subtracted from the 2500 lb payload to get your new payload number.

So if the motors plus wheels add another 250 lbs it would be 2250, ect.
