The range extender was always magic trick for the desperately hopeful cool-aid drinkers. They could pretend the truck was capable of what was originally promised, because this simple accessory would make it so. Tesla was never going to put a several thousand pound basically permanent battery taking up 3/4 of the bed in their truck, and no one but the thirstiest was ever going to pay real money for that stupidity.
This was always inevitable, but the lack of CT sales and potential market for it were the justification to whoever inside the company still hung on to the dumb idea. Yes, referring to Elon.
