1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once

I've done it several times. It happens.

the rest of the time you waste energy and money just carrying around thousands of pounds of batteries.

It would certainly be interesting if EV's had a means to load or unload batteries for more or less capacity. If the majority of the time you're driving local it would certainly be better having a smaller battery pack loaded and then load more when you need the range. We're a long way from being able to do that unfortunately
