The range extender is a bit of an odd product considering both the range added (limited) and the form factor (taking up a lot of space in the back).
While the range drop is disappointing, it's still plenty of range. More than enough for normal drivers that aren't anxiety ridden about range. Most people only drive about 12000 miles per year. And rarely over 300 in a single day. And when you do go on a long trip: relax, have a break (you'll need it) and charge up the car and yourself. It's not healthy to be on the road non stop regularly. You can charge the car up plenty over a nice lunch break. If you need a second stop after nine hours of driving or so, you need a break as well. And no, you aren't super human.
The product itself seems popular. Tesla now is starting to dominate the truck market. And they only barely started ramping up production. It's going to be interesting to see how they'll do when they reach their production volume targets. It's of course a divisive product with its styling and features. But it's arguably performing well in sales. Despite the currently high price.
>Tesla now is starting to dominate the truck market.
Do you mean “dominate” in some sort of philosophical way unrelated to numbers?
That statement is spoken by people who only look at the us second quarter ev pickup truck sales and see the cyber truck at even with all others combined. Forgetting that is a tiny niche market, the time window is favourable for the cybertruck and forget the many of petrol versions.

No, as in it's the #3 EV in the US after the other two Teslas and in front of all other EV trucks combined. Based on the numbers.
If you meant the "EV truck market" you should have said that rather than completely moving the goalposts when someone called you on your false claims.
I hope that with that small caveat, you agree that the Cybertruck completely and utterly dominates the EV truck market now. Which is a notion that seems to upset a lot of people here.
As for my other "false" claims? Which are you referring to? You used the plural here. And since we're being pedantic ...
> I hope that with that small caveat…
This makes sense. Similarly, General Mills now is starting to dominate the bacon* market with their Cinnamon Toast Crunch Bacon.
