So you have something, now, with does cost a bomb, but gives 275-310

But not at the same time. You can only get that sort of range by driving
it like a Pious. With a very timid driver.

Try starting with a Ferrari with a full tank of petrol and a fully charged
Tesla. Now get the Tesla to try and keep up with an enthusiastically
driven one. And see what the range actually is. I've heard under 30 miles.
