It's already here.

"The first commercially produced electric PWC, and the first commercially produced carbon PWC, the 160-horsepower carbon Orca can hit 65 mph."

Amazing! I wonder how much it weighs? Apparently they did protect its battery from getting wet at least.

The PWCs do not generally need that much range (except for some touring models) and the carbon body might have been an attempt to reduce weight also.

Really, waterproofing a watercraft is probably easier than sealing a land vehicle because the hull had better be sealed anyway!

Its 100% immaterial to the story.

We’d say the same thing if they said, Bob amd Ellen Ross, a straight couple,...

Nothing to do with the focus of the story at all.

Is that irony or Alanis Morissette irony?

Only on your wedding day. So, what happens to the heap once the gay guys say no? Tesla gets to chuck in a few double A's and resell it?

My paternal grandparents emigrated to America in 1912 from Pontefract. Guess it’s still around.

I am thinking there has to be more to the story than this....

Ditto. I would think insurance would cover the battery replacement.

So the Tesla was disabled by Climate Change? Did I get that right?

I always suspected a connection between fags and EVs

It rains in Scotland? Must be global warming. We only have 7.1232093 years left.

“Be sure to purchase the large Tesla Umbrella attachment accessory”

That’s funny! I suppose someone will come up with a meme for that.

Because the story is about a car, not about a couple of fags. Mentioning it is pure propaganda, an attempt to push an agenda and “normalize” a very abnormal situation. News should be news not propaganda.

Why do you need this explained to you, are you simple? Also, how long have you been a rectal ingress enthusiast?

“Why does it bother you that they did ?”

Why does it NOT bother you? Subtly mainstreaming a perverted lifestyle should, at LEAST, “bother” or offend people when they notice it.
