Yup, best on the market today is like <100 miles of range. Best vapor ware is the class 8 Daimler owned Fuso that is reported to be 200 miles. 500 is a magic number because with 30 minute charging there are very few limitations and many of those are things companies will adjust to because is the savings, safety and reliability. A lot of big claims but I own a model X and it's pretty much unreal itself so I expect that Tesla is not over promising on specs but will probably be late like they always are. Or as I like to call it, several years early, but late based on Elon time. I'm just going to assume 2020 and 2021 for the roadster and will be happily surprised when they are early based on my expectations.
Nikola One is probably the closest competition.
