Tesla has officially scrapped its plans for a $16,000 range extender for the Cybertruck, notifying customers of refunds for their deposits. This decision follows prior changes to the projected range the extender was supposed to provide. Initially promised to extend the Cybertruck's range significantly, these figures were revised down before the add-on was entirely canceled. The Cybertruck has faced slow sales since its late 2023 launch, underscoring challenges in meeting production and delivery targets set by CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla's abandonment of the $16,000 range extender for the Cybertruck signifies the company's struggles to meet customer expectations and fulfill original promises.
Despite launching with a base range of 320 to 350 miles, Tesla has faced ongoing challenges with the Cybertruck, leading to dwindling sales.
Symbolically, by canning the add-on entirely, Tesla has admitted defeat on ever fulfilling its original pledge, as sales continue to disappoint.
The range extender's cancellation reflects broader issues within Tesla regarding the Cybertruck's market performance and Elon Musk's ambitious projections.
