The more I think about Cybertruck AC charging, the more I am inclined to think that cybertruck will support 3 phase (480V) industrial charging on top of single phase 240V support. If you take a look at SAE-J3068, the proposed North American standard, it is an evolution from single phase like J1772 protocol (currently used by Tesla) to 3 phase + higher voltages.
If this is correct and if the buck-boost converters are bi-directional, it will also mean that Cybertruck can power serious industrial equipment such as 3 phase motors and V2G.
Also, if cleverly configured, a tri-phase converter can become a higher current single phase converter, can easily achieve 80A.
Perhaps the in-bed connector will be the one that supports 3 phases, while the outside connector is for Regular Suppercharing + single phase AC.
I am surprised to see that Ford is still using J1772 type connectors, I guess they have no other choice.

P.S. The number of 3 phase industrial transformers is humongous and they are readily available, as a result, such chargers can be installed at little cost (when compared with Supercharger costs of $100-150K).
