Wish Tesla would consider a high performance Ski boat. I have a Supra an base on the torque of my Model S I think a ski boat would be easy for Tesla to get market share in nothing flat.

Thanks for posting his. Ev ski boat would be perfect for many like me that live on a lake. We hit the skis for about an hour in the evening and we are back in the dock.
Great video. Unfortunately I feel as if theres a huge difference in the SKI Nautique and the G series.
Tremendous amount of weight difference not to mention adding an extra 5000 lbs to surf. That would absolutely destroy the battery range. Hopefully in the future though.
The idea of charging on the water is also a little scary.
Saw this awhile back. We have a Cobalt open bow, loved seeing some take a Cobalt and convert it.
Range is another issue as previously stated. Once someone can get a boat that offers similar performance and range to current gas/diesel they'll have something, similar to how Tesla has kicked off the EV revolution. Our boat has a 502 big block, it'll burn 34 gallons per hour wide open and 12-ish at it's most efficient cruise speed. A car that gets 20mpg at 80mph is burning 4 gph for comparison.
Boats come in all sizes and shapes. I don't think a 502 big block is the best first target for an EB. I expect the battery and motor from a standard model 3 would do the job just fine in a 19 foot ski boat. Even better than the gas boat, I'd never have to make the trip for gas again!
