Range Extender Battery Pack increases range to 470+ miles and costs $16K 🔋

I feel bad for all those people that flew out there and thought it was going to be a massive event. It was very disappointing to say the least.

It'd be nice if the "range extender" was usable as a PowerWall when it isn't in your truck.

That's what I said!

Power wall would be interesting when not needed. It would be heavy to load.

While the broadcast portion was over fairly quickly, they did get to have a tour of the Cybertruck production line and you can bet there's going to be after parties!!!

Is this the range extender?

I sure hope not!!!

Good find / callback. I forgot about that.

But yes that's my number one guess, something like that but probably flatter so it can actually hold some cargo too. If it can V2L / V2H to the home when not otherwise in use, I bet it would be pretty popular.

Why such ambiguity about this range extender almost everyone is going to want?

One of Tesla's secret 48v accessories might be a jib crane

@cvalue13 put a theory that it goes in the frunk instead. I'll call that plausible.

It would have been nice to see it at the event. Unless it’s not built yet. I was also wondering about the solar option. No mention of that anywhere.

Cause it's probably not a longer range battery. It's more than likely an accessory that goes in the bed and takes up valuable space. I'm hoping I'm wrong though.

I think that is less likely due to weight distribution... If I were designing it I would either make it a brick that into the front of the bed that makes the bed a little shorter OR make it relatively thin and flat and same dimensions as the bed, so when you put it on the bottom it just makes bed shallower
