Tesla Cybertruck Range Extender: Delayed Release and Reduced Specs

Tesla’s latest update on the Cybertruck Range Extender brings significant changes to both specifications and availability, affecting potential buyers’ expectations and wallets. The highly anticipated add-on now requires a $2,000 reservation fee through the non-Foundation Series configurator.

Initial projections for the dual-motor Cybertruck with Range Extender suggested an impressive 470-mile range capability. However, Tesla has revised these figures downward, now promising 445 miles – a 25-mile reduction from original estimates. The baseline range without the extension remains at 325 miles.

The Range Extender’s installation presents practical considerations for Cybertruck owners. The unit occupies substantial bed space, potentially limiting the vehicle’s utility. Additionally, installation requirements specify professional fitting at Tesla service centers.

Tesla has pushed the availability window to mid-2025, moving back from the initial early 2025 target. The $16,000 price tag positions this upgrade as a premium option, raising questions about value proposition for potential buyers.

When it comes to range anxiety, Tesla’s latest extension of timelines might leave some buyers running on empty.
