What might solve the range issue and at the same time let Tesla keep their initial announcement would be 2 different modes like the Karma has. In sport mode the Whitestar does the 0-60 in 6 secs and is very aggressive, but the range suffers. In long-range mode you do get the 225miles range but acceleration is limited and possibly top speed. That way you can offer both and satisfy both the hypermilers and racers. I at least would love a feature like that. It's same kind of thinking a laptop maker uses to get the best battery performance they can get.
