Literally a far far better technology exists and has been running at Pittsburgh International Airport for over 20 years lol. Or hell any airport. I remember seeing one at Miami airport. Probably a little slower, around 40mph? But jesus christ it's just a mile.

Look, I haven't seen you build any car tunnels, which means you have no right to criticize this.

Read my lips - PROTOTYPE. Have you traveled to the future? No? Then LAST I CHECKED you have no way of knowing that a revolutionary hyperloop that lets you travel Mach 4 won't be derived from this tunnel.

someone on my block bought a tesla but doesn't charge it at home since its street parking, so I guess he just drives to the supercharger once a week, sits there for 30 minutes to charge up (while damaging his battery), and then congratulates himself for beating the system? I don't understand this, at all. isn't home charging like 75% of the appeal of this dumb car?

Nah redditors who currently drive a 1998 Civic are all convinced that the free supercharging will save them enough to offset their $60,000 purchase price over their old car that had no payment and $40/mo liability insurance.

I loved it when they started asking honestly, "Why are people still buying Corollas and Civics!? Its only like $20,000 more for a Tesla Model 3 and you'll save that much in fuel somehow!"

Back during the recession Dodge had some gimmick where they promised to pay you back the difference for whatever you paid over $3 or $4 a gallon for gas. I laughed hard knowing that it would work on people when even the the quickest napkin math could tell you if it was worth it or not

But I guess this was the time when people were buying brand new cars specifically to save money on gas

Only the obvious catastrophes like WeWork fail.

The hidden catastrophes will never fail because, and most people can't comprehend, of how many billions of investment dollars are sloshing around with nothing better to do that prop up the repulsive ideas of the 1%

serious question is there any agency that is reviewing and approving tesla's self driving bullshit? because he keeps saying poo poo like

quote:

Yeah, feature-complete, I mean, it’s the car able to drive from one’s house to work, most likely without interventions. So it will still be supervised, but it will be able to drive — it will fill in the gap from low-speed autonomy with Summon. You’ve got high-speed autonomy on the highway, and intermediate speed autonomy, which really just means traffic lights and stop signs.


is he just gonna push that out as an update? with no supervision?

America has insanely weak regulation after years of starvation by governments beholden to the interests of capital, which is what the 737 MAX8 story should also tell you. So uhh good luck? Because a billionaire or huge corporation can literally kill you and get away scot-free.
