The Cybertruck Vary Extender was announced at the vehicle’s delivery event as a $16,000 add-on that seems to take up about half of the truck’s usable rear mattress house. Tesla initially promised in 2019 that the tri-motor Cybertruck would go more than 500 miles on a cost for about $70,000 — and that’s with none point out of an add-on battery.
Now, the very best vary Cybertruck out there for order is the 325-mile dual-motor AWD mannequin for $79,990, and the tri-motor “Cyberbeast” goes 301 miles for $99,990. Beforehand, Tesla promised the battery would stretch the Cybertruck’s vary to 470 miles, however the estimation was downgraded in 2024.
As of this writing, the battery extender continues to be talked about within the Cybertruck specs part of the location, and there’s no indication that it has been cancelled altogether. However it’s not trying good for the accent, because it was initially purported to turn out to be out there in “early 2025,” after which was delayed to “mid 2025,” and now appears to be lacking in motion.
Tesla has been accumulating a $2,000 non-refundable price from prospects to order the battery extender, and it’s unclear what Tesla will do with the cash if the battery doesn’t come to market.
