They should make the Range Extender for into the rear under bed storage, so we don’t have to compromise the full length bed utility.

What was meant (I think) was REAR under bed, where it is maximally far from anything useful, maximizes the moment of inertia of the truck, and is maximally exposed in a collision. Hard to imagine a better spot.
No, because it's a non-factory add on, just like every other aftermarket/ dealer installed accessory.
Plus, the GVWR/ axle limits set the max, and payload is derived from that.
I'm interested in how the repair centers will tap into the Battery cooling and the HV Battery electrical system. Are the Trucks already setup from the Factory with plug and play connectors? If you ever want it removed will Tesla plug the mounting holes, coolant Hose holes and electrical cable Holes? Or will you have to replace the center floor of the Bed? Will there be two ports to charge? if not which Battery will charge first or will they charge at the same time from a single charge point? Will you be able to get the Battery extender swapped from one Cybertruck to another or will you have to spend another 16k on a new one?

One charge port.
Range extender will likely be two 400V bricks and connect in parallel with the main pack halves. Either four HV cables, four contactors, and no series/parallel switch or two cables, two contactors, and an internal mode switch.
May get plumbed inline after the main pack, but they might also add an active valve since they live in different environments.
What will be the lowest the Main Battery will get before the Aux. Battery kicks in? Will it be an automatic transfer or will it have an automatic/manual transfer to the Aux. Battery so you control the switch over from the Screen or just have it automatically switchover once it reaches a certain level? Will you be able to set the level at which the Aux. Battery will kick in?
They are idiots*.
That is the second rear power port for the tri-motor Beast.
Theoretically, the inductive port might be sufficient, but I expect extender requires a different penthouse cover.
*I mean seriously, they must have pulled the inductive charge port info from X because if they had used the publicly available service manual, they would have known this...
It won't be a switchover from one pack to the other. It will always be in the loop.
It will be like having a 170 kWh pack instead of the 123 kWh pack that the truck ships with from the factory.
Theoretically the same as it is now if the charge station can supply 50% more power.
