Wonder how they will do in a thunderstorm...........................
Electric planes? What could possibly go wrong?
Aaaand they just lost another customer.
No food but you do have to peddle the generator
250 miles? By the time you drive to the airport, park your car, shuttle to the terminal, check your bags, stand in the TSA line, wait at the gate, get on the plane, taxi to the runway, take-off, fly, land, collect your bags, shuttle to the car lot... you’d be better off driving.
Reason #549 not to fly.
The extension cords must be super long!
(satire)
and that’s if they don’t lose your bags.
only skinny people allowed
Power required must be enormous. Better not have to land at an airport without a generating station.

Great idea...you go first!
The ES-19 won’t be ready for flight testing until 2026, according to Heart Aerospace website. But its OK if you lie, exaggerate and bullshit for leftist-green causes. You still get praised for it.

Actually the plan is to have several lightning rods on it, to get a free battery charge when possible. (Sarc. I think)
Go Wrong, Go Wrong, Go Wrong, Go Wrong
Best to avoid any holding pattern delays. 🧐
How long does it take to charge it after the flight , sounds like a money losing dream
Those Lithium fires are a real killer in flight.
and if the motor quits, are the planes so heavy that you’ll drop like a rock? Batteries do weigh a bit.
Can you imagine a fire in one, mid air? They don’t even know how to put out a Tesla that catches and they burn really hot with deadly fumes.
