I assume they're going to need a while lot more than 100 or 110kwh might be enough to get 250 miles of range out of that thing, but the top end one is supposed to get 500+ miles. I'm guessing that's going to be more like a 200kwh battery pack. It's gotta be a whole lot heavier than a Model 3 or a Model S.
