100 miles range for an aircraft is a joke.
If we could all just shrink ourselves, we wouldnt need better batteries...

You bet it’s a joke. I’d have to ‘two-hop’ just to get to the nearest Amtrak station (185 miles away).

Or, jump in the car and start driving in the general direction you plan to travel, plug in the destination in a GPS while driving and in 90 minutes, you are there and haven’t maxed out the entire possible flight range of the plane.
The Caravan is not a super small puddle jumper. I’ll be there don’t do all that many sub 100 mile flights
People mocked the Wright Flyer too........

In 1903, the Wright brothers flew 200 feet. Sixty years later we had this:
