There is still a gaping hole on I-64 between Mt Vernon IL and the Louisville Ky SC. That's 194 miles and on a major east/west highway. Why that hasn't been addressed is odd?

Georgia and Alabama don’t sound like places where you have to worry about sub-zero temperatures.Not true there are plenty of 120 mile plus spacings. For example Savanna to Atlanta, large portions of West Virginia, north west from Birmingham
There is an even larger gap in ND (NONE) and part of MT and part of MN, along the I 94 corridor There are NONE yet. Quite possibly 800 miles!There is still a gaping hole on I-64 between Mt Vernon IL and the Louisville Ky SC. That's 194 miles and on a major east/west highway. Why that hasn't been addressed is odd?
I doubt it. I think the Model S will get 400 miles first.
i'm sure 90% tesla owners would really love a battery to last 400-500 miles no matter what the cost and time to recharge is

I'm quite sure you're wrong - most of us would not prefer 400-500 "no matter what the cost and time to recharge."
I have a Model 3 with 300 range. I recently took a 1000 mile trip.
The battery charges faster when it's low. Topping up past 150 takes longer and longer. I found I preferred to drive 60 to 90 miles and take a short break at a charger (when I first plug in, it's getting 500 miles per hour, 8.3 miles per minute. In ten or eleven minutes, I'm refilled those 90 miles and can drive another hour and a half. It's just enough time to get a coffee and /or rest break.)
I don't want to drive 3 hours per leg... And if I did, the break to refill would not be double the 11 minutes. It would be more than that, because the rate of charge slows down as the battery gets full.
The current battery is close to perfect for me. I would not pay an extra dime for a bigger battery out of any necessity. If the bigger battery is slower to charge, or costs me more to charge, there's no way I buy it unless it's discounted relative to my current fast-charging battery, regardless the extra range.
Actually from New York to London is about 200 miles, land based, but you should try the trip you are suggesting to see how well it works.That's nothing. Have you seen the gap between New York City and London? That's 3500 miles with no charging station! Until they address that, no Tesla Shorter should buy a car.
Go Tesla, they have what nobody has, batteries.
Yes, if it can be charged in 5-10 minutes.LOL that's funny do you actually think 200 mile range is satisfactory i'm sure 90% tesla owners would really love a battery to last 400-500 miles no matter what the cost and time to recharge is
Yes, if it can be charged in 5-10 minutes.

When would we see a Tesla model 3 with 400+ miles range? 2020?
If the government were to end the subsidies to fossil fuels, gasoline would be so expensive that people would realize that 300 miles of range is plenty.
