yes, but also stuff that's much more efficient on energy consumption. couple that with the electric boats trend, and that's shaping up to be pretty handy, even if to you only by proxy (emissions)

never said it wasnt energy efficient (though even that isnt certain as theres the manufacturing process to be considered)

Im just saying its expensive useless shit that most of us will never see.

yes, i can read. i'm saying it's replacing the expensive useless shit that rich people that aren't you would buy either way, so compared to that, this is better for everyone

Lets be real here. Rich people will buy this and stuff it in the garage of one of their 35 vacation homes and go back to buying other shit. This changes nothing except being one more piece of crap added to the landfill of our planet.

I don't see that scenario more realistic than the one I typed out, but if that's the one you want to believe in, you do you.

Useful tech though, especially in cities with waterways. While 12k is a lot, it is still cheaper, lower emissions, and more practical for water commenting than a regular boat. I could see a lot of practical usage for something like this in Europe, where most of the cities are built on waterways
