Extra weight vs range.

[Cyber111]

Has anybody installed the heavy duty bumpers or the rocks sliders or the skid plate
to their CT? I’m thinking about installing all three of these upgrades, but the installers haven’t been able to tell me exactly how much weight this would add to the truck. If I know the weight, then I can calculate how much this might affect the range per charge and that’ll help me decide if I want to get these items or not.

Aero is more important than weight.

Average tire have a rolling resistance of 0.01. So 100 pounds of cargo adds 1 pound of resistance which is then 2 Wh/mile.
Like @SCTesla said, aero will probably be a larger impact.
