Not really since two batteries (or twice as many batteries actually because each car has thousands of batteries, 7000 or so cells for the 85kWh I think it was) since you have to carry around and move all those batteries.

On the site's range calculator at the default settings the 60kWh Model S says 386km range, or 6km / kWh. The 85kWh Model S says 485km range, or 5km / kWh.
