~1500lb payload 'while staying under 10GVWR' -- LT tires at ~65 PSI. That's one heavy pig!

I bet it's just a derivative of that...

I watched kyle's review on it. They're only letting the 'pro' model, aka fleet only work truck reviews today. Peak power on acceleration was 350kW indicated. That's weaker than both the Lightning and MME GT trims (but still a ton of power). Battery size on fleet unit was same as hummer's large batt (2x0 kWh)

Takeaways that made clear sense. The Pro Power onboard works w/ truck on or off, but looked like it had a max of 8hr time limit. 7.2kW output like PB/Lightning when optioned. 2 in-cab outlets (sounded like hidden though), single in frunk, clunkier version of ford's in the tailgate.

The frunk appeared to only have a single 20a plug which seems rather short sighted. 4 is an easy no-brainer for multiple things one may want plugged in for tailgating / work, particularly since tools are likely to be carried in the front -- an no, you shouldn't need a surge strip on a $80k+ truck given the ~ $10 worth of parts to put multiple receptacles in it. It's also significantly smaller than the lightnings at 10cuft vs 14cuft. The $80k fleet only version (as in no you can't buy it) has no rear steering, but a sharp steering angle (likely at the cost of the front CVs long term).

V2x can charge another EV but only at 6kW (faster to use 30a charger w/ beds 30a plug). Charge port can also connect some kind of breakout box for another 3kW worth of 120v plugs (this doesn't make sense to me). They're also working on a home backup like the lightning, zero details provided (probably put on hold due to charging port changing over next year)

On the RST trim that was only a brief over-view on another video, the fold down rear wall had massively obtrusive protrusions.

This is the rear seat of a $100k+ truck -- talk about some cheap shit

Lightning extended range = 580 hp/433kW is my crayon math correct?

Crayon meaning I looked up the specs and googled hp/kW conversion...
