Range is easy: just add more battery. It’s expensive, but this is an expensive car.
But space and weight are limited on a supercar. So you have to choose one.
The convertible roof STORES IN THE TRUNK? That is just an absurdly non-luxurious design decision.
Wait you even have to physically remove it ???
If that top speed ("Over 250 mph") is accurate wouldn't it put it in contention for "Production car speed record" per: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_car_speed_record Additionally I hope nobody ever tries to "red line" it on a public road for their own and everyone else's safety. 4.2 sec 0-100 and a 250+ mph max is a very temping but potentially deadly combination. Does anyone who owns a Tesla know if you c…
Yes it has both options however they're profile settings that can be changed by the operator. There's not parental profile or anything like that.
There's a valet mode which just nerfs the car all around but that's independent from the speedlimit and acceleration characteristics settings.
What's the mile range at 250mph? Also, that picture look cartoon-ish... I wonder if it was modified in any way?
Of course there are many other factors at play here.
For comparison: a Bugatti Chiron/Veyron is known to empty its 100L fuel tank in about 12 minutes at full power.

Electric batteries are power-limited as well as energy-limited. So if you want more power, you need a bigger battery. (Alternate chemistries are also possible, but even then you reach a practical limit.)
The naive approach is to think of a battery like a gasoline tank, whose size and capacity you want to minimize if you’re going for performance records. But really it’s part of of the powertrain, and having a larger battery brings a bunch of other benefits like longer lifetime (in miles driven), charge & discharge speed (in kilowatts), higher thermal mass (can handle those big spurts of power that might temporarily exceed the cooling system’s capacity), and higher electrical efficiency at a given discharge speed (a larger battery at a given voltage has lower internal resistance, thus less resistive losses and less heat generation).
I call bullshit on this. 1000km range and 400km/h top speed? Obviously you can't have both but each of this is unrealistic enough on its own. You can't even go 400km/h on the Autobahn, which roads are they building this for? And fully loaded SUVs like the Hyundai Kona get somewhat about 500km in normal crusing mode. 1000km is either a breakthrough in battery technology or measured/calculated when going 50km/h at best…
400 km/s is possible on the Autobahn ... but it is an exception. 1000km range at 100km/h maybe :D
Voyager 1 hardly achieves 16.49 km/s. It seems strange that German engineering can achieve better from tarmac & ICE.

In my Model 3, dual motor, I can do both: Limit acceleration and limit the top speed.
620 Miles range?! that's huge! for an all electric car, and beats even a lot of gas-powered cars
Otherwise, if you do lots of hard starts and stops, you'll probably get about 400ish.
