Guessing a battery extension pack somewhere - likely in the bed best guess.
My biggest question is - do those of us who put down $100 deposits now have to actually order?
Getting up close to 500 miles with the range extender on the dual-motor variant - but I bet that range extender costs a really pretty penny - whatever it turns out to be:

On the order page, the longest range is 340 miles.
Looks like the Range Extender is after-delivery option.

You don't have to if you want to pass on to the next person.

Something you have to pay for that won’t work anyways
It'll be released the same time Tesla fixes tesla vision and gets FSD working. In other words, 2 weeks

The "order" is misleading. Instead of letting us design the options, it only allows us to "reserve."
It should not be labeled as "order." It should be labeled as "Additional Reservation."

As long as it isn't the same range extender that was used in the BMW i3,
it shouldn't take too long to release. It's either a battery pack that fits on the CT's bed or it's a small towable pack with another hitch. I vote for the former. It's really not that big a pack as it adds ~130 mi. of range and is probably around half the size and weight of the CT AWD pack. I'm actually surprised that no one has thought of doing this before, since some electric semis (not Tesla though to my knowledge) have an auxiliary battery in their trailer. Most truck owners don't tow that often, so the idea of an add-on pack for towing makes sense.

They might be still debating the logistics: Software enabling or actual different battery packs.
don't worry... they'll think about it for a few years and then just cancel that option as "not needed"

That happened in the past as the 520-mile Tesla Model S Plaid+ was canceled even before it was born.
