Elon Musk's JetLanded in London, England, GB. Apx flt. time 9 Hours : 28 Mins
Flight Fuel Info
~ 4,731 gallons (21,481 liters).
~ 32,052 lbs (14,424 kg) of jet fuel used.
~ $28,389 cost of fuel.
~ 51 tons of CO2 emissions.
Reed Hampton@elonjet petition that you add number of teslas these flights negated in CO2 emissions as a metric 😂
JayBlue@reed_hampton @elonjet Using the numbers I see, it would look something like this (US stats):
- Average miles driven per year: 14k
- Average MPG: 25
- Equates to 560 gallons of gas per year
- 20 lbs of CO2 per gallon, so 11,200 lbs of CO2 per year of driving a gas car
- Average consumption of a Tesla Model 3 (being generous and using the most efficient model): 3.9 miles per kWh
- 14k miles consumes 3589 kWh of electricity
- Average CO2 per kWh of US electric production is 0.855 lbs
- So average Tesla produces 3069 lbs of CO2 per year
- Putting it together, a Tesla produces 8131 lbs LESS CO2 per year than an average gas car.
- So take the flight data and divide it by 8131 lbs to determine how many Teslas Elon needs to sell to counter that flight's emissions this year.
Feel free to double check my math.
@reed_hampton @elonjet Adding to say that's 3.7 metric tons of CO2.
So in this specific example, Elon needs to sell 13.8 Teslas to negate the 51 tons of CO2 he used for this one flight.
Helmar Dürrlein@JayBlue @reed_hampton @elonjet Multiply it buy the number of flights he does per year, add the CO2 produced by his excessive lifestyle in general and the consumption of his entourage.
