That's actually pretty significant. I doubt anyone would want to drive more than 400 miles in a day. You can almost get between any two points in England with that range.

400 miles wouldn't even get me to my brother's place in the next state over.
More than 400 miles in a day is common in US roadtripping. On the other hand, breaking up those long driving days with a reasonable recharging period would be more than OK.
I think for many Europeans it's easy to forget just how big USA and Canada are. I've been on vacation (we just call it holiday) where we've driven SF -> Yosemite -> Las Vegas -> Arizona -> LA, and on another trip DC -> Virginia -> Charleston -> Savannah -> DC, and both times I've forgotten just how long it takes to get anywhere. I suspect this is why so many people fly domestic?
Every summer I drive my family home 928 miles in a single day from our vacation house in Florida.
I think this is super awesome. The fact that range is up from 265 miles to 400 is a great accomplishment. I look forward to seeing what the Tesla team will be doing in the upcoming years.
