Tesla initially promised impressive range numbers of more than 500 miles for the Cybertruck, but the automaker recently decided to kill off the range-extending battery it needed to deliver those numbers.

Tesla has officially scrapped plans for the Cybertruck's Range Extender battery, designed to boost its real-world driving range. The optional add-on, meant to fit in the vehicle's bed, was canceled just before its scheduled release,

Tesla originally stated that the range extender would bump the dual motor Cybertruck's range up from 325 to 470 miles, but was later revised to 445 miles. Elon Musk's EV company also originally slated the range extender release for early 2025, but moved it to mid-2025. Now it appears there will be no release at all.
