The range extender was designed to occupy approximately half of the Cybertruck’s rear bed and was initially touted to extend the range of the dual-motor Cybertruck to 470 miles. However, this estimate was later revised to 445 miles in 2024, with the original “early 2025” release date postponed to “mid-2025.”

This battery pack aimed to compensate for dissatisfaction regarding the production models of the electric pickup. The tri-motor Cybertruck, unveiled in 2019, was priced around $70,000 with a promised range exceeding 500 miles. The final model’s price of $99,990 and 301-mile range didn’t meet those expectations, nor did the $79,990 dual-motor AWD variant with a 325-mile range. Tesla’s $69,990 Long Range Cybertruck offers a 362-mile range per charge.
