1.3kW/m^2 * 20% efficiency = 260w/m^2
260w/m^2 * 5m^2 = 1.3kW
1.3kW * 4 hours daily sun = 5.2kW/day
265 miles range / 85kW full charge capacity = 3.1 miles/kW
5.2kW/day * 3.1 miles/kW = 16.12 miles / day
Still sounds too good, what did I miss?

16 miles would hardly even cover most American's one-way commute, let alone any other errands or trips.

Regardless, even your drastically lower 16 miles a day isn't going to satisfy the needs of the average driver.
You don't get 1.3kW per square meter for 4 hours a day. 42,339 MW of PV installations produced 39,401 GWh of energy in 2017 in Germany[1], so on average you get peak power for just two hours a day with panels that are angled appropriately.
