Does line up with M3 and Gigafactory though."According to media reports, Musk said he plans to increase the range of his flagship model S to 1000 km or 621 miles. And not some time in the distant future, but “within a year or two”. He added that a reliable range of some 600 miles will “definitely be possible in 2017, or earlier”. With his statement he referred to a recent record drive with a Tesla model S covering 729 km without recharging. In this drive however, the drivers achieved an average speed of just 39 kmph which cannot be considered realistic for everyday driving conditions.  Musk also said that by 2020, a range of 1,200 km would be achievable."<a href="http://www.smart2zero.com/en/tesla-promises-1000-km-range-for-e-cars-soon.html?cmp_id=7&news_id=10006240&vID=44#.VhJXt2eD6zk" target="_blank">http://www.smart2zero.com/en/tesla-promises-1000-km-range-for-e-cars-soon.html?cmp_id=7&news_id=10006240&vID=44#.VhJXt2eD6zk</a></blockquote>
