This new Leonardo da Vinci reinvented the Paris Métro a hundred years later, with just no rails, no trains, no passengers, no Paris and no sense.

"alright it's like a subway but this is more like a highway underground" it is also called "tunnel"

[NmoNco]

RGB makes things faster, it's a well known fact

Genius

"It's like a subway"
Except it's absolute wank.

[Fopenplop]

it's gonna be awesome to trespass in these things in 3 years when they're abandoned

It's 2021, and Elon Musk has created a smaller, less sophisticated, crappier version of the tunnel that Brunel created under the Thames river in 1843

if one car malfunctions in the tunnel, wouldn't that cause a lockdown?

[someguy]

Its a 45 min walk, but with the hyper loop its only 2 mins, here's how! A car. You get in a car and drive there.

One crash and your stuck in a traffic jam 40ft under ground..

Alright, so it's like a subway, only more primitive, slower, lower capacity, with higher overhead for boarding, no wheelchair accessibility and still requiring drivers.
All of that with an hourly capacity that's equivalent to 4 subway trains, i.e. what a decent subway line transports in 8 minutes at rush hour.

[martyryan]

How much does a ride cost? It looks like a less effecient subway, or a privatized tunnel only available for what is essentially a really expensive taxi.

[frankyforest]

Wouldn't a subway station be better? I mean, i like the idea that Tesla wants to transport people to different popular places in the city, but an underground subway train can do it much better.

[kenp]

How about just connecting the Monorail to the Airport, which is long overdue.

[Kruemel]

Wow a tunnel with rgb and slow cars, reminds me to the monorail Simpsons episode.

[Thaiworldnews]

I see only simply tunnels decorated with much LED bling bling. What is special?

Streets for rich people who don't want to see the growing homelessness
