Here is a pretty good mansplanation as to why batteries as we know them can't hit 10× more capacity.
But 2 or maybe 3 times more capacity seems reasonable.

It would have to be radically different to get any where near 10× the capacity.
I haven't seen that yet.The atomic scientists mentioned a theoretical energy density cap,but I don't remember the specifics.
Doubling the current state-of-the-art would put a Model 3 Long Range at around 800-miles on a charge,and the top-tier Cybertruck at 1,000.
