According to their website - 300 miles is the correct answer. -The OP's post I corrected, was incorrect.
I don't have garage-size storage problems. If I did, I'd build a bigger one.
They're dirt cheap to drive. Damn near free for 8-years and unlimited miles. Would easily beat most any gas or diesel burners in those parameters. The best deal going if it works for you. I could easily plug one into my driving style needs. Definitely worth considering versus continuing to shovel-out $$$ in the expense to run almost anything else. Depends on how many miles are driven in 8-years, and how much expense the next battery is in 8-years. The miles are free - outside the personal charging out of pocket costs. There's so many free sites to recharge, more coming too in all likelyhood. Entities, private and Gov't. are wanting to look green and hip by providing free charge stations. I saw one out in the Middle of West Tennessee off I-40 for example.
Definitely a very exciting vehicle. The savings are there for the right planning individuals.

Model S also weighs 4500 pounds and is the size of an S-class Mercedes. It would be big for my garage, not to mention my checkbook.
