It revolutionized transit and solved traffic congestion? Subways do that, not this. This is a working Tesla ad, and nothing more. He promised 18 passenger pods at 150mph, not driver operated Teslas in a tunnel of death (if one catches fire). This is an expensive fleecing that doesn't do what Musk promised, not by a long shot.
@@ryccoh They are 30 years behind current tunnelling technology. So if the rest of us stand still they will only be 10 years behind in 20 years time! I'm waiting for them to build a bifurcation and show a plan of the how the on-off ramps will operated. With that they can do some passenger flow modelling to see how many parking bays they need at each station to handle peak flow. Without that I wouldn't let them start. Nobody else does. But the Musk fairy dust still seems to convince a lot of people and governments to part with their money.
Ahh, another impatient fool who thinks completed systems magically spring out of nowhere. p.s. a subway has to stop at every station, and costs 5x more to build and maintain.
@@kelaarin Subways have been around for 118 years. Powered flight has been around for 119 years. Yeah, so Musk offers a regressive mass transit technology to a problem that has been solved for over a century. It's not really a problem that he offers a stupid idea; as people propose indefensible ideas all the time. The problem really is with large numbers of people that find those ideas compelling. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Congratulations for defending a con artist.
I was riding my skateboard to work at resorts world yesterday. Skated adjacent to their setup . I saw the camera crew, I saw the lights, i saw this dude speaking into the mic and camera and I was this close 👌🏻 to riding up behind him and yelling something at the camera but couldn’t do it. I regret it very much so

Maybe in 20 years, things take a long time to iterate to where you want it to be

My Hemi would sound great in that tunnel 🤘🤘
Grow up

A hemi-powered Golf cart would be fun.
