Fly or Tesla? — Two Seats, One Trip
A trip-comparison tool that weighs flying against driving a Tesla by cost, door-to-door time, stress, and carbon.
Field notes
The tool accepts a pair of cities and a party size, then sets estimated airfare beside Tesla charging costs while accounting for the full journey rather than flight time alone. Its comparison model explicitly includes airport runs, bags, delays, departure flexibility, and the value of hours spent driving. Example routes are sorted into “Tesla wins,” “Just fly it,” and “Toss-ups,” while international totals are converted to US dollars at fixed published rates.
