No - that was per seat with the assumption that most cars are not full.
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.
You’re assuming that the break point at which people will stop flying is within the realm of a tax. I highly doubt that without making the tax unreasonable or downright illegal in it’s restrictions of movement.
At that point, you’re circumcising a mosquito. You’ll have a tiny little overall environmental impact with a big fat effect on the lives of a bunch of people. Well done.
Let me get this straight: the people who are all in on global mobility want take the side of a nation going through an isolationist rebellion and levy a tax on people who are globally mobile?
I approve this decision. Now gib!
I think you’re okay here. If it was more than 3 rows, I think the etiquette is to let the row across get out, then slide into the empty row and wait for an opportunity to frogger your way back when the inevitable old lady takes too long and leaves a gap in traffic. This is also why I often toss my bag a couple rows…
Honestly, I feel like elevated walking paths are the right-in-front-of-your-face answer to pedestrian deaths. Just move all the sidewalks up 1 level in downtown like Seattle did when it raised the streets.
This may sound radical, but it is a common-sense solution to a basic problem. There are too many

With speed runs you have to run both directions. Given the low speed on the first run, good second (reverse) run, they would be going the third run in the forward direction to hopefully secure the higher average.
I have taken 3 planes in the last week and have another 2 this week. They are Petri dishes full of germs, screaming kids, and pushy people. I even got ringworm from a British airways flight.
Haha. That’s some kind of weird fantasy world. Greenies never would go for that type of thinking. By that this thinking, more efficient ships would justify less efficient planes. In a recent comment here I mentioned that Carnival cruise line alone emits more greenhouse gasses than all the cars in Europe and people…
I will not, for any reason, feel guilty because I’m being shoved in an uncomfortable flying tube. I don’t care if it poops out 10 tons of CO2 per passenger, flying is one of the worst forms of travel in existence regardless of it’s environmental impact. It’s the textbook definition of a necessary evil.
If you put the exhaust in loud mode, let off the throttle quickly over 5000rpm, then gently tap tap tap the throttle (but not enough to move the car) - does it still crack and pop pretty much indefinitely?
When do you think we’re going to find out that Tesla’s own insurance company is asking it’s repair shops to cut corners in the name of profits?
They are wonderful cars. I had the Coupe as well. It’s more enjoyable as a convertible but looks better as a coupe. The Coupe is actually TOO insulated. It makes a nice daily if you don’t have speed bumps but you don’t get to enjoy the full sound of the exhaust without the windows down.
Haha, this just made my morning. I WISH it was too slow. I unloaded that thing maybe twice in 300 miles. It’s so fast that you can’t even use it. I put my foot in it and let go. My brother looked at me and was like: why did you let off? “Because that was 120". He didn’t even believe me.
