But, the sexy "all-electric" 28-foot, 6-inch Dasher is unlike anything the company has ever built before. This 21st century design is aptly called Dasher after the original, game-changing, Hinckley Picnic Boat that created a whole new genre of yachts in the 1990's—and are still incredibly popular today. It sports a carbon-epoxy composite hull designed by Michael Peters to provide superior performance and handling. And it sports amazingly realistic hand-painted "teak" brightwork that never needs to be oiled and saves power-sapping weight. Titanium hardware and iPad-like controls are elegantly modern. Dasher's twin 80 horsepower electric motors and dual BMW i3 lithium ion batteries provide Tesla-like electric performance. And according to Hinckley CEO Peter O'Connell, “The Hinckley Whisper Drive silent propulsion system combines the latest hydrodynamics, electric power and digital control systems to achieve the performance handling and maneuverability that discerning clients will expect.” According to the company, Dasher is a zero emissions boat that requires zero time at the fuel dock. It can be charged with dual 50 amp charging cables that are standard in most marinas, and charge twice as fast as the most popular plug-in electric cars. Since its cruising speed is a modest 10 MPH with fast cruising at 18-27 MPH, and its range on a single charge is limited to 40 miles or less, Dasher is not intended to be an offshore boat. But, when it comes touring Nantucket Harbor on a sunny Summer afternoon aboard a truly American original, there's nothing else like it.

But what if it made a yacht? That’s the question which Aziz Belkharmoudi sought to answer with this design project. Shared on Behance, the concept is called the Tesla E-Vision Granturismo. In short, it’s a nearly 60-foot- (18-meter-) long motor yacht. But instead of conventional seagoing engines, it (theoretically) uses the powertrain from the Model S. With two of them on board, the vessel is envisioned to produce a massive 1,800 horsepower (or 1,350 kW). That’d be enough, according to the designer, to give it a cruising speed of 30 knots, and a top end of over 40 knots. Or in landlubber terms, 35 and 46 mph, respectively. Belkharmoudi envisions using carbon-Kevlar construction, and decking the interior out in wood. It even has photovoltaic cells (read: solar panels) on the front deck to help keep those lithium-ion batteries topped up out on the open water. Despite its rather large size, it’s said to have ample room for eight passengers. And it’d be operated by touchscreen displays instead of conventional instruments and controls, just like Tesla’s electric road cars. That is, it would, if Tesla were to build such a vessel. But we doubt it would. Elon Musk’s idea is to help move the masses (who can afford it, at any rate) along the earth’s surface. And as expensive as some of Tesla’s vehicles can be, a yacht of this size would be worth a good million dollars or so. And we just can’t see Musk and Tesla going after that elite a market.
