I hope the range on the sedan is that high, but I'm not going to set any expectations until I hear official specs from Tesla Motors.

I was great to hear Elon say that the < 30k EV will be available "sooner than anyone is expecting" and within 4 years. It's been their plan all along to use the Roadster and the sport sedan to jumpstart their goal of producing lots of affordable EVs, so it means a lot to know they think they are still on target to deliver on that goal in the 40-year time frame.
