Inferred payload of Cybertruck

Already bent:

That just does not look right or make sense at all to me.

One thing is probable - @TFLTruck will get banned from X for posting that. ?

Depending how the weight is distributed front and rear, it could have a max capacity of 2756 * 4 = 11024 pounds. (Hmm, maybe that's what that number is on the other leak, the total payload capacity, not the towing capacity.) That doesn't seem like good math to me though. For comparison, the Rivian could get away with 113 load index tires for the rear, and less for the front, because the GAVR is higher on the rear. It seems likely that the Tesla would have higher load capacity in the rear as well, but who knows.

Also, it looks like these tires are just barely bigger than the 20" Rivian OEM tires 285 vs 275. So, maybe there will be more tire options in the 20" range soon.

As you said yourself, our Rivian's are "over-spec'd" as far as tire load index goes. Not everything will be completely matched.

Unless you don't believe the document Tesla submitted to the NHTSA, the GVWR spec's I posted on the first page are correct, and now with the new thread of apparent CT specs showing curb weight, we can see that the payload is going to be pretty close to what I inferred on page 1.

It seems like the rumored specs shared today match up with your assessment on the first page.
