Tesla Cybertruck leak confirms 220 V, dual 110 V outlets while sketchy spec sheet reveals tiny frunk that lags Rivian and Ford ^↺

Ever since Tesla announced the Cybertruck, fans have been clamouring for more information about the stainless steel-clad pickup truck. As it crawls through development, leaks and footage of the Cybertruck are painting an ever-clearer picture of what we can expect when the November 30 delivery event rolls around.

This time around, TFLEV on YouTube has shared some insider spy shots and a dubious specifications sheet that proclaims to divulge many of the Cybertruck's measurements, including the frunk volume. Perhaps the most important information in this round of leaks is the confirmation that the Cybertruck will indeed feature three power outlets in the bed.

The three outlets in the bed consist of two 110 V grounded household outlets alongside what appears to be a NEMA 14-50 outlet. It's unclear what sort of power output we can expect from the 110 V outlet, but a regular NEMA 14-50 outlet is rated for 50 Amps and 240 V. Curiously, the spec sheet accompanying the image of the outlets claims that the NEMA 14-50 outlet in the Cybertruck is only 220 V, falling short of the standard 240 V rating. 

Regardless of this discrepancy, having high-voltage and high-amperage outlets in the back of the Cybertruck legitimise its claims of being a truck for “real work.” They may even allow the Cybertruck to charge other EVs with a Level 2 AC charger in a pinch, or act as a sort of household battery backup using V2L (vehicle to load) functionality.

Along with confirmation of the bed-mounted outlets, TFLEV shared a list of specifications from the same inside source, lending the information it contains some legitimacy. This spec sheet confirms Notebookcheck's previous calculations of a roughly 51-inch bed width — assuming that's at its narrowest point — and finally gives us an idea of the Cybertruck's frunk volume. 

The claimed frunk volume is a rather scant 7.1 cu ft (201 l), putting it far behind the Ford F-150 Lightning's 14.1 cu ft (~400 l) and the Rivian R1T's 11.1 cu ft (314 l). Given that the rest of the measurements — 143 inch (3.63 m) wheelbase and 18.6 ft (5.67 m) overall length — listed on the spec sheet put it much closer to a full-size truck than the mid-size Rivian R1T, the small frunk is rather puzzling.

Tesla has announced that it will hold a Cybertruck delivery event to celebrate the first customer deliveries on November 30, 2023. After that, the electric pickup truck will go into production, with an annual production target of over 200,000 units.
