US EditionTesla just scrapped the Cybertruck range extender
- Tesla has officially scrapped the Cybertruck range extender as of May 2025, discontinuing the $16,000 add-on battery pack option.

- Tesla announced it has discontinued the sale of the Cybertruck Range Extender and will provide full refunds to customers who placed deposits.
- This cancellation highlights Tesla's challenges meeting earlier range promises and suggests limited future support for add-ons on the underperforming Cybertruck.
