when the tunnel gets too congested, they will continue to build new driving levels below it. rich tesla owners on top, all others have to dodge magma

Are the Tesla Tunnels active yet? I’m morbidly excited for the ensuing carnage

Just remembered I had this photo of when I rode my velomobile to the local shops. That's a normal sized space on the side of the road, which highlights how much space cars take up when parking.

Hell, they used to do my left arm too, and I’m a leftie!” it’s really sad either way and poor people tend to have longer commutes & often have more than one job they need to go to, potentially spaced very far apart.

hahahahaha i've seen a lot of videos on this stupid thing but I still cracked up again when the elevator goes down to reveal the big new tech is... more roads but now underground and shittier. how is no one driving in the tube the car goes down? seems like cars would all have to brake constantly as you wait for 20 different elevators to each slowly deliver a single car carrying a single occupant. it's difficult to concisely describe exactly how bad this idea is because it's bad in so many ways that you'd have to write an essay to cover them all. it can't even work in some ideal world that doesn't exist. the basic premise is flawed right from the start, and then the actual implementation would be a disaster i mean what the gently caress lol. im sick of roads and cars so lets create a complicated network of thousands of elevators and tubes so i can continue to get stuck in traffic, its just underground now. love queuing up at elevators and dying in inescapable fires. they need to make a promo video where it shows all the people that would be using a busy highway, instead entering elon's tubes. each waiting 2 minutes for their 1 at a time trip down an elevator. 100 cars show up every minute so there will be 200 elevators and also 200 tubes and also nothing goes wrong during any of this.

Imagine the logistics and cost of that poo poo compared to a straightforward rail network. We can barely build simple infrastructure here, much less a fantasy underground highway network.

I thought the initial pitch was "trains..but for cars" and the second big idea about it was that the trains would carry some cargo as well

It's just a subway but 100x stupider and 10000x more expensive lol We've become a nation of finance and ideas guys but nobody has any ideas that arent just doing what we did 100 years ago but worse. If you've got an idea or possible new process for something boring like an advance in materials science what do you even do? Book a flight to Shenzen and hope some US multinational profiting off the old material doesnt kill you on the way?

100 cars per minute would require four whole city blocks with their curbsides devoted entirely to these stupid Tesla elevators going up and down constantly, just to serve the equivalent of three lanes of traffic, or half of one subway line.

The point is not to be efficient it is to provide a separate private infrastructure system for rich people. This is the whole business model that's it.

The car tunnel thing is staggeringly, mind blowingly stupid if you take it at face value. I honestly don't know how people who believe in the stated concept function in society but then I realise that society doesn't really function and it all makes a lot more sense. Was there ever a definitive theory as to why the boring company actually exists again? Clearly it's not to replace millions of above-ground roads with millions of sewer tunnels, as far as I know the options are: - Pure scam to bilk local governments out of money promising outlandish solutions, delivering garbage and pocketing the cash (e.g. las vegas). Also in support of keeping the Tesla bubble inflated by making personal vehicles seem feasible into the future when the road system is clearly in crisis. - The actual plan is to make personal car tunnels for the mega-wealthy so that they can avoid ever having to deal with the collapsing road system and surface traffic consisting of poor people - Drug smuggling tunnels under the US/Mexico border

On paperwork, owned by people who have "authority," is a text that is said to be owned by a person. The picture itself is just a certificate. All other scams, and forms of government just have extra things like, other uses, or a monopoly on violence.

https://twitter.com/shannonrwatts/status/1463525634919964672 armed driver intentionally hits someone else, later gets into a shootout with them and dies. speaking of platonic scams, here's the platonic ideal of an american story i was going to say it's amazing that a pregnant woman - even one with terminal car brain - would instigate a pointless death battle like this, but looking at it from her perspective she was always the one wielding lethal force- in her car, where she could kill a motorcyclist with impunity, and then later with a gun, where she could stand her ground and murder someone. it just turns out the motorcyclist was a better shot
