I wonder if they’ll put more battery in the Model X to greatly extend the range, since they have a lot more space to work with. Imagine a 6000lb Model X tank that can go 500 miles. I think I’ll be totally interested in that.

To go 500 miles, you probably need a 150 KWH Battery pack. WIth head room for life cycle and protection from “Bricking”, you probably need some 220 KWH.
at $700/KWH, thats a 150K in Battery alone.
a $300/KWH, that’s a 70K battery, plus motors, car, etc. it’s probably a 120K vehicle.
Teslas strategy has been to aim for about 200 Miles range, then stick Superchargers around at nodes and to cut up 400 mile legs.
I have to say Tesla’s strategy has been apparently sound.
