The 11,000 may be limited by the suspension system.

So in terms of comparisons I don't think you're wrong, but it might be better to compare it to the F-150 Lightning for more of an apples to apples comparison. The F-150 Lightning Platinum vs Cybetruck AWD is probably the most fair comparison in terms of specs, but the CT is ~$20,000 cheaper

If we compare the F-150 Lightning Lariat with XR Battery to the Cybertruck AWD, because of price:

F-150:

Range: 320mi

Towing: 7,700lbs

Curb Weight: 6,361lbs

---

CT:

Range: 340mi

Towing: 11,000lbs

Curb Weight: 6,603lbs

---

F-150 Lighting Platinum to CT Cyberbeast, because of price:

F-150:

Range: 300mi

Towing: 8,500lbs

Curb Weight: 6,893lbs

---

CT:

Range: 320mi

Towing: 11,000lbs

Curb Weight: 6,843lbs

I considered the Lightning and I really wanted to like it, but for a truck, I’d still rather have a diesel. I have a 36 gal tank, I can tow 20k+lbs, and I can beat the hell out of it and get it fixed anywhere.

I would love a PHEV truck though. Give me a 30 mile range for just driving it around unloaded and I’ll happily go into diesel mode whenever I have to do real work.

A different comparison would be the following (from the manufacturers sites)

----

  Ford Lightning Pro: $50K
    240 Mile EPA-Est. Range – Standard-Range Battery and RWD171
    0-60 MPH in 4.1 seconds - Standard Range Battery\*
    Wireless Integration with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
    12-inch Touchscreen
    Mega Power Frunk

  CT Rear-Wheel Drive: $61k
    Available in 2025
    250 MI. Range (EST.)
    6.5 sec. 0-60 mph

very similar ranges and specs, but and CT is 10k more. Also, ships in 2 years.

Interior of a F-150 Platinum is way nicer than anything Tesla has ever made and that's where nearly all the $20,000 goes to (along with Ford's nice margin for a luxury truck).

Trim-to-trim equivalency hard to get since Tesla interiors are so spartan and each company is putting their money in difference places, but it's probably Lariat. Lariat big battery comes to about 76K compared to the true purchase price of 100K for cyberbeast.
