for comparison, I can easily do it on one tank of gas in the x5 with at least 150 miles of residual.

Probably not. And certainly not in colder weather.
I've never driven a Model S LR, so take my answer with a grain of salt. But cruising at 90 burns a lot of watts, and hills can hurt, too. And cold weather/rain takes a toll, as well.
Do you really drive 290 miles without stopping? You've got more endurance than I do.
