The next question is what do you with all that battery heat?
A ten minute refuel is probably unobtanium, so different schemas are necessary. Do you REALLY need to drive from Reno to Seattle on one tank/charge?

No I think huge batteries are a bad idea, but that's the trend, that's what sells. Also putting them in real full size 4wd trucks and SUVs us going to be what it takes to get people out of real gas full size trucks and SUVs. I like the Model X but it's not realistically a 3 row SUV, putting 3 rows in any other Tesla is just a waste of maybe otherwise useful hatchback space. Then as far as range you should be able to at least drive 4 hours straight at 70 mph and then get a short 10-20 min recharge. So that 280 mile range should fall in the 20-80% battery capacity.
