Five bucks on the meter is great press until you mention the X1 is just the demo and the actual product is a hybrid that still burns jet fuel for anything past 125 miles. You don't lead with all-electric cost savings and then bury the turboprop engines three graphs down unless the play was always United orders battery headlines and the fine print ships kerosene.

The first flight of the largest battery-electric aircraft to take to the skies lasted nearly half an hour while costing just $5 of electricity. That aviation feat comes at a time when jet fuel prices have skyrocketed because of the US war with Iran.
