Right.
You typically don't print the overall power rating on a receptacle either, but rather voltage and current rating... so that saying anything about "KW" would seem odd.

Um, yes you can. You can use a 40A circuit breaker and 40A wiring connected to a NEMA 14-50 since North America has no 40A receptacles. But at any rate, that would still be 9.6 kW (at 40A, 240V) which is still better than the 30A/240V that most portable generators top out at, and what the F150 Lighting currently has (which is the current power offload EV leader).
I'm a little concerned with the recessed arrangement of the NEMA 14-50 outlet. It looks like some plugs would need some sort of extender to get the prongs seeded properly.
But surely Tesla has thought of this? Or maybe the picture makes it look like the outlet has too much depth?
It also looks like a plug in the 14-50 outlet could block what appears to be an anchor point below (not fully shown in this pic).
It does look kinda mickey mouseish. 14-50 plugs are normally right angled so it would block the above plugs or not sit properly. Maybe Tesla includes a straight out 1' extension cord or something. That's one the "nice" things about the 30A L14-30 that the F150 Lighting has - all those cord and plugs are straight since it is a locking plug (you need to rotate the plug when plugging in). BTW, having a locking plug is also nice.

Maybe this is a pre-production?
Incidentally, if those specs are accurate, the CT frunk volume is 1/2 the size of the Ford F150 Lighting's and the Rivian, and it is just a little bit bigger than the Model X frunk volume.
It definitely looks like a very weird frunk as well, it looks as though things could fall out on the ground everytime you open it.
BTW, if anyone is interested in the battery minerals space, there's a good mini virtual conference this Friday, and its free to stream. More info:

The Resource Angle
Potential issues with deep sea mining Meh. Humans have ravaged the Earth for thousands of years, but woah, let's step back because it's ocean. We should at least try this option. Things are not moving fast enough for us to keep all our eggs in one basic by just using land. And it's not like...

You mean pay protection money to the media mafia?
See post above. How exactly would one do it? Pay?
Which part of Tesla will never pay corrupt media don't you people get?
Or let hitmen from oil companies do the opposite. Still say this is the sort of advertisements needed. Not an advertisement showing CT being shot by a machine gun.

I sure hope and expect the Cybertruck frunk to be 1/2 the size of that from a Rivian RT1 or Ford F150 Lightning. If one really wants a beluga nose with far inferior aerodynamics and far inferior front visibility than Cybertruck, then those are their options.
This definitely has a "rugged" / DIY look to it. Hopefully this is pre-production and it's more user-friendly than this indicates.

The "trim" piece pulling away from the bed vertical face tailgate area (behind the latch point), looks particularly prototypish....

I have a strong feeling that 'prototypish' will be the main theme of CT, especially with panels and trim pieces.
Will make it an easy target for panel gap police.

If that's the front casting in that picture, then that's a Quad-motor version too!

More info on India market entry on moneycontrol.com, does anyone know that site? Says that it is likely that cars for India will come from Giga Berlin first because they don´t want made in China ones. Seems plausible but would treat it as rumor as of now. Hopefully we´ll know more after the meeting of Elon and the Indian commerce minister.
MC Exclusive: Tesla likely to import completely built up EVs from German facility to India
Reports are that Tesla will have to import from Germany because the Indian government is not keen on imports from the company’s China plant. Tesla also plans to launch a Rs 20 lakh EV in India. Importing from Germany is expected to benefit Tesla in terms of import duties too
