US EditionTesla just scrapped the Cybertruck range extender
- Tesla confirmed on May 7, 2025, that it will no longer sell the $16,000 Cybertruck range extender and will refund all deposits.
- The cancellation followed production delays, limited Cybertruck sales, a high price, and the requirement for service center installation.
- The range extender would have added about 120 miles to the truck’s range, aiming to address Tesla's failure to deliver the originally promised 500 miles.
- The highest-range dual-motor Cybertruck costs $79,990 with 325 miles, while the $99,990 tri-motor 'Cyberbeast' reaches 301 miles per charge.
- Tesla’s decision to scrap the extender reflects challenges in meeting range promises and boosting Cybertruck sales amid repeated recalls and modest deliveries since 2023.
