The "rules" don't list the infinite scenarios of eVTOL aircraft and how far they're allowed to fly, given their stated limited
distance they can fly.
There are equations for each type of aircraft, and that too, is not "listed" per se, but the "rules" are there.

No pivot.
YOU pivoted, because YOU had no argument for the FACT, that there will never be "electric, battery-powered" aircraft as large as an
A333E.
We might get there, some century, but it will NOT be powered solely by battery technology, unless we can harness dilithium
crystals, some day!
LOL
The rules that govern these requirements for electric air taxis are found in the FAA's new Special Federal Aviation Regulation
(SFAR) titled "Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations." This SFAR updates and clarifies existing Part 135
regulations to accommodate the unique characteristics of this new class of aircraft.

You probably won't find the equation or rule about how far an eVTOL can travel under FAA flight rules. Maybe those are a "given",
seeing how there will me too many different types OF eVTOLs being developed to make such rules and them be "binding" or in general
terms.
I'm sure there's something pertaining to flight distance rules, but quite frankly...

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
