If Tesla wanted to save weight they would have made the battery smaller and not big with half of it empty.Just my opinion but the only reason I could see Tesla doing that was to save weight.

Or maybe to screw is 500 mile demanders.Just my opinion but the only reason I could see Tesla doing that was to save weight.
It seems odd that they have the bed extender when they could offer a “max range” option for more $$$ and not take up additional bed space.If Tesla wanted to save weight they would have made the battery smaller and not big with half of it empty.
Supposedly those are just venting channels. Not room for more batteries.It seems odd that they have the bed extender when they could offer a “max range” option for more $$$ and not take up additional bed space.
That does seem shortsighted. Wanting to carry motorcycles and such in the bed, the range extender makes it a non-starter for our use case. 500 mile range with maybe 250 towing and the full bed available, and we might be back in the market for one.It seems odd that they have the bed extender when they could offer a “max range” option for more $$$ and not take up additional bed space.
It's actually just an air vent channel
Typical media click bait. Read Christisn Agatie's whole article (there's a 14sec Munro teaser video) where he can only speculate what Sandy Munro's will conclude. Better yet, wait for Sandy's full video.

No thanks.But why when the Silverado EV already does all of the things that you appear to want? The bed space, the battery capacity, the charging, not to mention the fit & finish, dealer support and even a lower price, etc.
It may or may not be justified, but I have a very low opinion of GM quality and reliability. And our new-to-us Toyota Tundra is serving us quite well..But why when the Silverado EV already does all of the things that you appear to want?

As opposed to Tesla?It may or may not be justified, but I have a very low opinion of GM quality and reliability
I didn’t mention Tesla, did I?As opposed to Tesla?
I wouldn't buy any car (besides a Tesla) that wasn't a Toyota, Honda, or Mazda. It's amazing that after 100 years of automobile technology that a car can't be built to last a few 100,000 miles without major issues.It may or may not be justified, but I have a very low opinion of GM quality and reliability.

I mean you’re on the cybertruck subsection of a Tesla forum arguing against one of the main alternative products… there’s also clearly a model 3 or y in your avatar.I didn’t mention Tesla, did I?

I couldn’t agree more! If Cybertruck is the answer, what was the question?Cybertruck is such a scam. Tesla bypassing early reservation holders to see who will pony up an extra $20K ON TOP of a ~50% price increase on all models from reveal. Terrible ~320 mile range that will be like 250 miles in real life and 200 in winter. No spare tire. If you get a spare tire it will take up most of the bed.
"Range Extender" is never coming out and is complete Tesla BS vaporware. That would take up the remaining bed space. Not even a way to connect it in the bed. So a Cybertruck with spare and range extender isn't even a pickup truck anymore. Tesla's idiotic fixed headrest seats that give you neck pain after an hour.
Stupid white interior on a truck. No opening moonroof or rear window are huge misses. No HVAC in the bed as promised. Towing is going to be laughable with that tiny 123 kWh battery. The sales of this truck will tank once Tesla scams all of the "gotta have it now" Tesla fan-bois out of an extra $20K while pissing off the rest of their customers by putting them to the end of the line.
The REAL price of the Cybertruck is dual motor $100K and Tri-motor $120K. Only "Founders Editions" will be made for 2024/2025. The RWD is also vaporware and not coming out for many many many years if at all. Neither is the "$80K AWD" or "$100K Beast".
