All-electric Cessna Grand Caravan makes maiden flight

Same.

The Model X gets pretty close, but is way too gimmicky with it's touchscreen everything and cutesy doors.

A modern minivan is already the most sophisticated vehicle on the road. I just want one in electric.

The Model X sadly does not have nearly the versatility of my Honda Odyssey.

And it costs an extra $100K. :)

The model X is more expensive, but it’s not $100K more than a new Honda Odyssey. Heck, it’s not $100K more than your current Odssey! The X starts at $80k, while the Oddysey costs somewhere between $30k and $45k.

It’s only the top of the line performance trim that costs $100K.

Maybe I’m misremembering but in 2017 I think the maxed out Model X was $138,000 and my Honda was $45,000, so almost $100K difference.

I believe you’re right, prices appear to have dropped.
