Places the Cybertruck needs a range extender

[DJAlan2000]

I am a huge EV electrify everything fan so when I get lectures about how more range is not required I get annoyed. I am not trying to tow a home on wheels either. I don't want a 9000 lb vehicle 95% of the time either.

Everyone has different criteria, but road trips that I dream about and are constrained by time (due to work/limited vacation) 3 hours extra charging or backtracking time or not taking the route I want to take on a weekend make these area off limits for me. And I don't want the hassle of renting an ICE for 3-4 trips per year that I couldn't use my main vehicle for.

I drew 100 mile radius and 50 radius circles assuming these are in and out trip areas. Yellow circles miles for unladen CT (no bike racks or anything) and orange circles with a bigger trailer. I would contend that any trip into these areas without very reliable destination charger near the center would be sketchy. Every destination is different. My point being that many circles can be drawn that are either difficult or impossible. I am not talking about 1-2 extra 20 minutes stops either.

Additional considerations
These areas are often mountainous.
10% remaining is probably a good rule to follow for planning.
Degradation will happen - your 300 mile CT could easily be 280 in 5 years.
Superchargers are fairly reliable , but should 100% rely in all 5? on a long day trip?
Destination chargers are less likely to be on a network and may be down or busy at a particular hotel/campground

Energy density will increase over time, cost per kWhr will improve, and charging infrastructure will improve, but right now 300 miles of BEV range will not cut it

If you don't venture 50 miles from a supercharge you don't have a problem, but people like me have a problem. I am stuck and not happy about waiting for the perpetuals 2 more years.

The harvester range extender concept that can be removed is what I want and need now until things improve.

You should get/use Plugshare.com...

It will show you many, many more chargers (non-Tesla branded) and you can put in paramerters for various plug adapters/types... Like using NEMA 14/50, J1772, CCS1, etc... It will fill in those area's a bit more...

BUT, I have to wonder, how is it that you just happened to pick those particular area's? It's almost like you were looking for places without electricity! Oh, BTW, you won't find many gas stations within those area's either and the ones that are will likely charge you a fortune for gas!
