Is that 2500lb payload capacity and 11.000lb towing capacity the same for both the dual and tri motors no matter what tire size you choose?

Here we go ... another "Debbie Downer" thread ... wow ... you guys aren't changing anyone's minds ... who's paying you?
How am I a Debbie Downer for asking a question?
No. Probably not at launch.
I don't think that matters right away. They will sell all they can build, but I hope they eventually release a 500 mile version.
We'll see.
That is a ridiculous talking point to potential buyers who buy larger fuel tanks specifically for towing, buy tow packages to tow more weight, etc.
The 500+ mile range was the 2nd (some have it first) most desirable aspect on the release date.
500 miles turns into 200-250 while towing or less...add in the fact that most super chargers would require people to unhook a trailer, it's even more important. The towing distance is the most criticized aspect of the F150L.
Highly doubtful.
Between ~350 miles being adequate for the first wave (first year?) of status-car buyers, and Tesla's ongoing problems producing 4680 batteries in adequate volume, the battery capacity will be constrained.
Should grow in the future, but so will the vehicle price.
Here is a very optimistic take on Tesla's latest 4680 production progress, still only adding up to maybe 600 vehicles per week rate:
Tesla announces 4680 battery cell production breakthrough
Today, Tesla has confirmed a significant breakthrough in 4680 battery cell production at Gigafactory Texas as it produced its 20...

That's only relevant for "look at me" status-car buyers.
For working trucks that carry or tow significant loads, range is everything.
Read above, and the same to you!
Who is paying you to be a Musk suck-up all the time?
Or just another pump-and-dump TSLA stock fraudster?
Cheers!
The same people that think they can get a dual motor version for only 49,900. That's a good one too.

There is a reason that the specs are no longer listed on the Tesla web site. Good thing some people saved them so that we can compare to actual numbers some day. It will be good for a laugh and not much else.

I still want range. In 2012, I didn't buy a Nissan Leaf, but instead, I purchased Tesla because of the range.
I now bought Lucid with a 516-mile range EV, and I drove 396.6 miles before I stopped at a charging station, and I still have 11% or 60 miles left.
Even 516 doesn't give me 516. It means I could drive 396.6+60= 456.6 miles only instead. That's almost 60 miles less!
Thus, even with a 500-mile Cybertruck. It's not actually 500 even when it's listed so.
The problem with Tesla and Ford is instead of advertising their trucks as Sports trucks they tried to advertise them as something they are not...... Work/Off-Road/Towing Trucks.
Range would not have been an issue in these cases and 300 miles would have been understandable. I suppose Tesla could still pivot and deliver these as Sports trucks with capability.

I was looking for more range. Roadster would be rated for 600+ miles but start at a quarter of a million dollars.
Instead, I reserved the Cybertruck because, for $69,900.00, it would have a range of 500 miles. It's a step down from Roadster but a good compromise.

My FJ can't even go 250 miles on Super Unleaded... if it does better than that I will be happy.

Not of it takes Forever to charge, or you can’t find a charging station, or they are full of vehicles not Tesla’s, and now you will charged an idle fee too? Range is King.
my position is, if we say things that "the media" will rip apart.... like expecting the cybertruck to have 500 miles or even 400.. and having the real numbers come out to maybe 320-350 ... everyone that rips on Tesla will use this against us... so maybe the YouTubers should stop expecting the impossible so general consumers have more realistic expectations?

Making what up? We don't know the range or all the specs. Now even that marketing poster may be fake. There's a lot of folks playing the "Jumping to Conclusions(tm)" game.
... and, there's absolutely a few small armchair warriors with pointless empty lives that just hate Telsa and want to tear down anything they can to feel like they have power ... or possibly on somebody's payroll ...
How about some positive uplifting posts instead of the constant whining and complaining?
I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of readers knew that the features of the concept truck weren't going to make it to production, it's naive to think that every lofty goal would translate into an affordable production vehicle.
feelings != facts
You're a Debbie Downer because you never show any positivity, and your questions are almost always "Can it do <difficult edge case>?"
