Volkswagen knows. They'll sell you a Porsche Taycan. Then they'll sell you an Audi e-tron GT:

And then they'll sell you a Porsche Macan:

Better planning, bigger scale.

Meanwhile Tesla is still losing money. They were down $1 billion in 2018:

When will Tesla's technology be profitable? The closure of the retail stores doesn't inspire confidence.

Researched each of those models -- none of them are actually available for purchase currently as best I can tell.

you can make a 1000KWH car, and still be much less efficient than a 250KWH car. Range and speed is what matters not KWH. Aerodynamic, efficiency of enerygy conversion, etc.. comes into play.
