One thing that Tesla may have up its sleeve is the possibility by the time the Gigafactory opens, it may be producing a new generation of dry-electrode lithium-ion batteries that use graphene sheets are part of the battery material. That could effectively triple the storage density of the battery pack, and the very idea of going 900 km (559 miles) on a single charge on a future production Tesla Model S or X may not be ridiculously far-fetched.

Musk has already advanced the concept of electric vehicles dramatically. Still pretty pricey but getting better. The horseless carriage was a playground for the rich when it started also.
