Overview

• Tesla confirmed the cancellation of the Cybertruck Range Extender and began refunding $2,000 deposits to reservation holders.
• The accessory, originally planned for a mid-2025 release, was intended to increase the Cybertruck’s range by up to 120 miles.
• The decision follows repeated delays, a reduction in the promised range from 470 to 445 miles, and the accessory’s quiet removal from Tesla’s configurator last month.
• Cybertruck sales have fallen far short of expectations, with fewer than 50,000 units delivered over 15 months compared to projections of 250,000–500,000 annually.
• The cancellation highlights broader struggles with the Cybertruck program, including downgraded specifications, elevated pricing, and production challenges.
