So some things I'd like to add (after just watching the relevant parts) Although the Semi truck batteries are heavy, you do have to remember they're replacing fuel tanks, and that the motors and powertrains on EVs are lighter. Given that Tesla bodies tend to be lighter as well, and that there's an extra weight allowance for EV semis, and everything largely cancels out in terms of payload loss. This only changes the comparison in regards to diesel semis though, not to trains. In regards to Starship, there might be ways to integrate security and such onto the boat ride itself, and use a fast boat, to try and shave off some effective time. In terms of the G force limits, you'd have to be capable of handling a roller coaster. Outside of space tourism or very situational applications, I find Earth to Earth to largely be a non-starter.
another thing about railway shipping in us of a is that you can basically cut the price in two for fair theoretical comparisons, as about half of munny railroad companies take is pure profit
tesla trucks in a convoy? what if we just couple them to each other so you need only one driver and nobody can get in-between of them, also no need to space them out that way which decreases air friction even more and makes them take up less space on a road also could make one big engine for more efficient operation and just connect trailers to each other and put it on steel road with steel wheels for less friction and more efficiency, but making just that will be very expensive and steering will be insane, so we could make small guideways on which this thing can drive, that all also mean no need for steering and finally, can remove batteries which take pollution and rare metals to produce and replace it with reliativly simple wires over road for power supply and how convinent we already have steel wheels which are grounded, can use that as neutral wire, so we only need to put live wire over road you could use one of the guideways as live wire, or as third guideway, but that would be an active hazard to anyone who might try to cross such road TRANSPORT REVOLUTIONZIED
I think it is worth analyzing why American mind accepts "Teslas in tunnels", but not trams in tunnels. Perhaps the trams need some upgrades to become appealing for upper class Americans, even in places like Vegas Convention Center that general public can not access. Is it comfy seats? Somebody to take care of them while on board (ie conductor)? The line goes somewhere, but I somehow think trams would not work there even if they were Swiss.
hmm, I think it's just the people being so used to cars that they can't imagine anything else +, Elon Musk is a car maker billionaire, of course he's gonna fill those tunnel with his own cars
Not related at all to public transportation, however, if you want to see Musk idiocy at peak level, check the row he has just picked up with Brazil's Supreme Court. Brazilian media outlets are better to understand the issue, use Google Translator to read if your Portuguese is lacking.
I was at a festival recently and there was a hyperloop stand (not the Elon Musk one, the TUM one). The audacity they had to tell me how the cost of building the track per km would be similar to high speed rail. I am no expert, but more stuff and less flexibility => higher costs.
I don’t want to comment on the man, or the ideas, I think everyone has its own quirks, obsessions and desires. The thing that upsets me the most is that a normal person satisfies it’s own itches with their own money which has already been taxed at a corporate level and individual level and for any purchase in goods or services is taxed again with the VAT tax. Those filthy rich individuals instead use their companies resources lowering the taxable base of their companies, claim tax breaks and incentives, when something goes wrong because …of course… they got to claim additional tax ride offs. Maybe the only good thing is that they create some employment but often create a lot on jobs with zero overall value for the society.
@@TheTramly There is thought a thing that I don't quite get. I can understand Elon, and the experience that he might have with the South African trains and the people hanging and holding on it to ride it and I understand that with that experience and with the state of American railways and homelessness in California might seem like a recipe for disaster. I don't understand how come that transport technicians from the different institutions, which should have a knowledge of their field of competence can consider a projects like hyper loop feasible, and decide to invest tax money to explore the feasibility of those project while they transport agency will clearly have better uses for it. The only way I can explain to myself is that all of those technicians have not been in Uk, Germany where railways work, or of course Switzerland. They not take transit for work, it's the only possible thing because I can bet that all "senior commuters" on my line are able to indicate where to improve the line and have certainly in mind a rough figure how much would cost an additional train coach or a km of track and will consider a hyper loop garbage.
This was sort of cathartic to watch. Just watching someone rip Musk a new one, just what I need after work lol. I do like how you didn't crap on SpaceX and the Boring Company more broadly because the workers are great here just Musk is an idiot grifter.
I mean, yeah, i have turned into the dead sea 2.0 by making this video, haha I'm just tired of these stupid bullshit projects taking away attention and funding from real, working transit initiatives
IDK. IMO the FSD play is the most likely to see the light of day. That said he wouldn’t see my money until Tesla assumes all liability and I could actually crawl in the back and sleep until I reached my destination. The deployment strategy could have several variants, the most likely to meet the aggressive timetable would be subcontracted services to clean and charge the vehicles and retrieve them when the general public runs them too far from the nearest charger. They would be better served to take the one time profit on the vehicle and the recurring revenue of the monthly software rental. A fully vertically integrated service would require far more work than the slightly less challenging deployment of the worldwide charging network. The other possibility if the FSD is good enough is built atop the public infrastructure of the interstate highway system here in the United States. Even then you need at least one driver and a cohort manager for your slipstreaming gaggle of trucks which eventually have their own destinations. This will not expand without induction charging if FSD is meant to drive these vehicles from point to point. To replicate the convenience of fueled vehicles, I estimate you will eventually need somewhat less than a billion induction chargers to make all the existing parking spaces more useful. There are more than a billion parking spaces in the USA already. At best Tesla has installed something like 20,000 individual chargers in the USA. That’s at least 3 orders of magnitude from what is needed and that means he would also have to build his own transformers unless he is generating power independently. I’m dubious but it would be fun to see.
Maybe also, he compared the semi to diesel freight trains (since that's the default in the us). But yeah, no way semis are better than normal electric trains
hmm, that's possible, but I still believe that a Tesla Semi convoy would be worse (in multiple ways, such as environmental destruction from mining lithium, cobalt, nickel, etc..) than diesel trains
Another day, another Tramly banger
My words
Thank you!
The way to go! I love to see, that more channels are talking about that crazy man now. Vegas loop is seriously a joke. Great video as always ❤
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it🥰

10:15 taxis need to be underground because you cannot use teslas in rain
tesla trucks in a convoy?
what if we just couple them to each other so you need only one driver and nobody can get in-between of them, also no need to space them out that way which decreases air friction even more and makes them take up less space on a road
also could make one big engine for more efficient operation and just connect trailers to each other

and how convinent
we already have steel wheels which are grounded, can use that as neutral wire, so we only need to put live wire over road
you could use one of the guideways as live wire, or as third guideway, but that would be an active hazard to anyone who might try to cross such road

I never heard him say he owned tesla
He didn't say that he owned Tesla outright, however, he claimed and still claims that he founded Tesla, which simply isn't true

Dont talk about elon musk
Check out Thunderfoot for detailed analyses; also Common Sense Skeptic. You have a good idea of what a weasel Musk actually is! Good work.
