1000 miles one way takes about 15 hours at highway speeds. It's not that different from a transcontinental flight plus the time it takes to travel to and from the airport, wait at the airport, etc. You're also free to bring as much luggage as your vehicle will allow, stop and rest at any time, or go sightseeing along the way. On top of that, the seats are more comfortable, and it might even be cheaper for a family of four. The only downside is that someone has to drive the car for all those hours. As soon as that problem is fixed, I don't see myself traveling by air at all unless I have to cross an ocean.
