It seems like dual motor EVs have significantly less range. Can’t dual motor EVs run in single motor mode to save range and only use the 2nd motor when absolutely necessary? The motor can’t weigh that much that it contributes to often 50mi difference in range.

It’s the battery that will increase range, not more motors.
You can actually compare them directly to regular gas cars in this instance. Imagine two cars with the same 10 gallon fuel tank (in an EV this would be a battery). If one of those was an inline 4 ( think single motor EV), and the other was a V8 (think dual motor), while still having that same fuel capacity, the V8 using significantly more power, will burn though it faster.
