Current capacity, safety and power delivery are fine for most purposes, really.

LFP batteries really solved battery fires - they can't produce their own oxygen like older NMC batteries, so they just get really hot and die instead of going off like fireworks.

Once you get past 300 miles, you're pushing the limits of the average bladder and you need to stop before the car does.

With current electric trucks, if you're doing some city driving and plug the truck in when you take a break, a truck driver will run out of hours before the truck runs out of range.
