For fun, let's just say those are evenly distributed amongst the states and there are 26,000 snowmobiles available in Virginia at DoorDash's disposal. I'd wager snowmobiles wouldn't be the limiting factor in this operation.

- mannerheim 5y agoThere are probably not very many snowmobiles in Florida.
- daveevad 5y agoThat is a good point that I had anticipated, but severely under appreciated. I had presumed a somewhat more normal distribution of snowmobiles. https://www.statista.com/statistics/420693/us-snowmobile-registrations-by-state/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/420693/us-snowmobile-reg... I'm adjusting my mental model to the reality that Virginia likely has less than 1000 registered snowmobiles.

- daveevad 5y agoThis is a remarkable video (there's a helicopter and a snowmobile) but is that really in Florida?
