Tesla Cybertruck’s range extender takes up bed space, needs service center

Tesla's Cybertruck has been making waves since its unveiling, boasting futuristic design and cutting-edge technology. However, one feature is raising eyebrows: the range extender battery. This add-on takes up a whopping one-third of the truck's bed space and requires a service center for installation and removal.

While the range extender significantly boosts the Cybertruck's range, the trade-off is substantial. Losing one-third of your truck bed means less room for gear, tools, or whatever you plan to haul. This might be a deal-breaker for those who need every inch of their truck bed for work or recreation.

Installing and removing the range extender isn't a DIY job. You'll need to visit a Tesla service center, which could be inconvenient if you're on the go or far from the nearest location. This dependency adds an extra layer of complexity and potential downtime.

If this compromise isn't your cup of tea, you might consider trading in your Cybertruck for a more practical option. The Motorist app makes it easy to sell your car and get a free car valuation. Plus, you can explore other vehicles that might better suit your needs.

The Tesla Cybertruck's range extender battery is a game-changer in terms of extending range, but it comes with significant downsides. If space and convenience are your top priorities, using the Motorist app to find a better-suited vehicle might be the perfect solution.
