They need to have a true 500 mile range, even at low ambient temperatures. I live in MN; winters are fucking brutal on EVs and their already inflated estimated ranges.

No; plus, it's illegal under state and church separation in the United States. Also, this isn't 500 BCE; we live in 2025. Humanity no longer needs to learn the basics of common decency, morality, and legality through the mythical

Boats here cost the same as a car and more, but because they are used far less and have a high resale value (Minnesota has a lot of lakes and a culture centered around water and boating) it might make sense. I bought a 20yo pontoon for $10K
