Ted’s Take:
So, Taiga Motors has developed an electric jet ski that doesn’t make you want to throw it off a cliff? That’s a refreshing change. I mean, who wants to listen to the buzz of a gas-powered jet ski when you can glide across the water in peace and quiet? Plus, think about all the fish and ducks you won’t scare away with that obnoxious noise. The Orca jet ski offers a thrilling ride with its instant power and rapid acceleration, and it’s eco-friendly too! It’s like killing two birds with one stone, but without actually killing any birds because, you know, we’re all about being eco-friendly here. The only downside? The price. At almost $20,000, you better really love jet skiing to invest in one of these bad boys. But hey, if cost isn’t an issue, go ahead and splurge. Just make sure to invite me out on the water so I can experience the blissful silence firsthand while you zip by on your expensive toy.
