No, thanks, I’d crash it. Most people would crash it. I think K-Mag is probably the only driver at Haas who wouldn’t crash it...

It’s your next rental car with orange stitching.
Darn I had hoped you actually found an electric Mustang II given the asking price. I guess if you never touch or drive it is fine. I remember these things from new. they were always junk.
Who would want this? Why would a factory want to introduce a fuckton of complexity into their production line? Why would a tesla owner want to spend a bunch of money to have a refreshed version of their old car? Why would a jalop want to constrain the supply of junkyard tesla parts?
I definitely don’t watch reality tv. Get better.
Racing is a drop in the bucket compared to commuter cars, shipping, airliners, factories, and power plants. The amount of pollution put out by her car in less than 4 seconds is negligible in the grand scheme of things. Lighten up.
I wish Formula E would step out of its spec series comfort zone and go all out with a series that simply tests which BEV is the fastest for 50 laps.
It's really too bed this self important, condescending douchebag didn't get caught up in the Splinter axing. His takes are typically hot garbage that belonged on that extreme left hack blog anyways.
Actually, holiday travel is when planes are at their most efficient. During holiday travel, they beat half-full cars by almost 2:1 for greenhouse gasses.
Aaron rarely thinks outside his little NYC leftist bubble. It’s an ongoing problem for Jalopnik. His post history is basically just a giant public relations arm for anyone spouting union rhetoric or some kind of vendetta against a rich boogeyman.
Aaron isn’t exactly qualified to speak on much of anything and that’s he writes for a blog...
Hope you never want to go to another continent or an island like Hawaii. It’s gonna be a hell of a drive.
Aero engineer here. The simple answer is power density and weight of batteries. Keep in mind that you have to generate enough lift to carry them, in addition to the plane, cargo, and passengers. Given a relatively fixed speed, that means somehow dramatically increasing the coefficient of lift. You can do it for…
<It’s a total unnecessary thing for a holiday to take a plane>
Opinions like this make some good populist kindling, but never addresses a) how money currently collected is being wasted and how to fix that and b) what exactly would this money be used for and c) who are we punishing and to what ends?
I’ll expand on this—*MOST* frequent fliers are business travelers. As Mr. Party said, the tax won’t reduce their travel, it will increase their employers’ expenses. So what it will reduce is their salary, potential for raises, and even likelihood of being hired into a travel-required job in the first place.
Not everyone who logs miles in an airplane is a billionaire jet-setter. A fair number of frequent fliers (myself included) are having their travel paid for by their employer. Increasing the cost of those flights isn’t going to reduce the amount that I travel, it’ll just increase the amount my company pays for that…
