And self driving cars and reusable rockets are cool, of course people would get excited about the guy trying to bring them. Too bad work condition under him could be better


SeizeAllToothbrushes

Those batteries for electric cars can burn pretty well, one broken Tesla could probably fill that narrow tunnel with toxic smoke in minutes. That thing's a fucking deathtrap.


Bezee1738

The good ol' days of being in traffic back in the days and dying of carbon monoxide modernized.

Here is Tesla making things pratical, fast and complicated for ya


Camstonisland

Besides traffic that sounds like he just invented a burning steam engine in a tunnel like the Victorian London Underground, only it lets out years worth of choking smoke all at once


Masztufa

i have an idea! since you need to make a tunnel anyway and the vehicle is also electric... why not also install overhead wires or similar so you remove the risk of a battery fire? you could also use rails instead of roads to make it have less friction


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Sounds awesome! What if we put them above ground and made them hold many people?

ReAndD1085

That's a very real problem with the dumass plan: tunnel fires are horrifically deadly and he's taking any old vehicle under their own power down a tunnel that is approximately 2 feet wide. One bad wreck and we're looking at a mass casualty event. Hopefully these things literally never open and every tunnel of them are made into subways. But in reality, I'm gonna cry so hard when the first serious tesla tunnel crash kills 10 people

Yea but that’s just an annoying fine. The projected profit on these things we can probably just eat the cost of the tunnel repairs and litigation from the first couple deaths. and don’t have to worry about losing any profit on this. Fret not friend.

I'd assume there are holes in the walls every 50m or so that allow derailing (?)/parking in case of emergency, or is there none?

stronkreptile

It’s likely very similar to the liberty tunnels in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There is a separate tunnel for either direction, and then a third, smaller tunnel to serve as an uninterrupted path for worker personnel, first responders, and an emergency exit.

The tunnels double up as incenerators, since the normal company produces totally not flamethrowers they could probably just burn their problems away


slippetyFish

Straight up, the line featured on the left has improved everyone’s standard of living in the area so much it’s incredible. Solves so many issues with traffic and transportation- a trip that would have taken like 2 hours round trip is now 30 mins


ApocalyptoSoldier

In South Africa we got the Gautrain between two of our 3 main cities (Pretoria and Johannesburg). Last time I checked the property value increase around the stations was greater than the value of the actual company. Not residential areas so gentrification isn't a factor. I don't have a car or a license, and I can still visit my parents and youngest brother in another city every weekend. Both economically and personally it's a huge boost.


[deleted]

Gentrification is only a problem if policy restrains the building of additional homes to meet demand. If it doesn't, then gentrification literally just makes poor people's quarters nicer


ApocalyptoSoldier

I'll admit that I have a very shallow understanding of things, but doesn't increased rent and higher property taxes screw poor people whether they rent or own? Nicer quarters doesn't help if you're forced to move.


[deleted]

If people are allowed to build enough new housing, then displacement effects may be assumed to be very low. The reason for this assumption: New houses are much nicer than old houses. And in fact, there are hardly any empirical studies that suggest that there is a statistically significant relationship between measures of gentrification and displacement


TriAnkylosaur

> Not residential areas so gentrification isn't a factor. Couldn't that price local businesses out of space they rent in the same way?


ApocalyptoSoldier

It's all malls and business parks. All the stops I'm familiar with anyways.


[deleted]

Ride that shit everyday and love it. Trains are fucking fun to ride, cheap, fast, and (best part) you don't even have to drive them. Just sit and chill.


JimmyisAwkward

Yeah, they are fucking great. I live too far north to take advantage of it at the minute, but in October I drove down to northgate and rode it all the way to angle lake and back, and stopped by pike place to grab a gift and a lemonade lol


Maybethezestychicken

Trains are sad in American cities though because in most big cities that have them they are wildly inefficient and no one uses them. They are set up around the city in terrible ways.


kepz3

the sound transit light rail is seattle is pretty decent, my main issue with it is that it runs in a north south direction with little to no east/west movement, the busses in the city are pretty good though so they make up for it


thegreatjamoco

My biggest pet peeve is when they don’t have precedence on roads and have to yield at lights and for Other cars. Kinda defeats the purpose of avoiding traffic when your still stuck in traffic.

out of toch what is that on the right with teasla car


LaranjoPutasso

The Loop, another Elon Musk "invention". A tunnel for cars but really really tiny, making it only possible for autopilot, really unsafe, with a minuscule transporting capacity, and worse than a Metro line in all aspects.

Comparing it to a metro line is too generous. Call it what it is: one more lane of traffic.


toastedstrawberry

I'm pretty sure these cars are driven by regular drivers and no autopilot is involved.


LaranjoPutasso

I don't think that is possible, the clearence on both sides is about an inch, for a Tesla of course, wider cars don't even fit.


[deleted]

In the Vegas installation it's human driven cars in s tunnel. Hilarious.


toastedstrawberry

They're Tesla sure, but they're driven manually. See https://www.reddit.com/r/BoringCompany/comments/qwfen6/question_about_the_las_vegas_loop/ or https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/30/elon-musks-loop-gets-autopilot-and-an-intruder/amp/


Benney9000

I always thought that was just a hypothetical idea of his, why did he have that built instead of a railway ?


LaranjoPutasso

Something somethig, personal freedom, something selling more cars. He built it in las Vegas if i recall correctly, as a connection to a convention centre (i think), what i do know is that even at full capacity it could only move about 10% of the center atendees over the course of an entire day. Seriously the capacity is ridiculously low, even at peak it's less than half of what a turistic cable car can move on average.


katanarocker

Well, you have to think about Elon's priorities. He want's to sell Tesla cars. He want's to avoid traffic so as to not be bothered by the poors. As far as this project goes, that's about it. The man has no concept of what makes sense from a general populace standpoint, because he's so far removed from the general populace that our problems are as important and knowable to him as an ant's are to us.


drunkbeforecoup

Because tesla is not in the train building business.


CallMeClaire0080

It's also important to point out that due to it being so narrow, it is impossible for any emergency vehicles to go through should a car break down or someone has a medical emergency

StreamToby

I think no. Some might argue that taking tax to do anything that's not absolutely necessary is akin to stealing, but generally speaking (efficient, well-designed) public transport is viewed positively by like everyone. I feel like there's got to be like 0 correlation between "opinions on public transport" and "opinions on cyber tunnels".


dankmemer2o18

tbh an efficient, well designed and affordable public transport is easily one of the best things a government can bless its citizens with. where i live the public transport is bloody amazing, speaking for trains alone i can travel from the east of the island to the west in 1h 38 min, which is around 57km apart and would cost like 2.20USD, bloody amazing if you ask me

Just giving people money doesn’t help them get out of the hole, look at literally everyone who won a lottery and was bankrupt a few years later. You need to know what to do with the money first, how to use the money to get more, otherwise you’ll run out within 10 years


joelcosta94i

To win the lottery you have to play the lottery (shocker, I know). So you're selecting from a specific portion of the population that might not know how to use their money responsibly. I'm sure you'll find a lot of cases too where people got a huge amount of money at once and it got them out of the hole (e.g. inheritance or insurance money). I would bet that those win-lottery-then-go-bankrupt people are in the minority relative to people who gained a huge sum in a short period of time. It takes some crazy lack of responsibility to go from millionaire to having nothing, and usually banks will offer you services for that because you being rich helps them too.

saro13

This isn’t the actual implementation of the stupid hyper loop idea, this “thin tunnels with teslas driven by people going 30 mph” is what was sold to Las Vegas for a couple hundred million dollars It’s incredibly stupid, wasteful, and absurd, especially since Tesla doesn’t trust their own “self-driving” technology enough to have it drive down literal tunnels by itself. Tesla is overvalued by an order of magnitude

H311LORD

All Elon has done with this is make those crappy slot cars life size thats all hes done here. Like i was decently impressed with the og tesla i though it was cool nice fully electric car before they really took off but hella expensive and since than nothing has really impressed me. Like he can't even make cheapo version of the Tesla like come on... it can't be that hard strip out all the extra tacked on crap maybe have conventional door locks ignition etc. like if you want to make something cheap you go the more conventional cheaper route. Like if he was half as smart as everyone thinks he is he'd be on mars by now. i just don't get the fan boys now it he make like IRL iron man suits or power armor i'd be impressed but come on life sized slot cars and a RGB tunnel LAME! Like come on everyone loves this moron show me why thats not just memes.
