Originally I read that the inverter is part of the truck and would not be included in the lowest "pro" trim model. After further research, it sounds like the bidirectional charging comes as part of the extended range battery upgrade, which you can apply to any trim model (starts at $10,000 and goes down in price at higher trim levels).

Whoa, thanks! My data was based on the initial announcement.

Judging by this article [1], the bidirectional charging is maybe part of the $1000 "Pro Power" add on.

Either way, sounds like we can get a 100-ish kWh battery backup for $50k.
