BalloonFish posted:So, as I see it, they're either suggesting that stations will have through-ways or bypasses so cars don't have to stop (although it raises the question of how you board a Tesla if no one is stopping at the station where you are). If that's the case then it's just another "we'll done, you've invented the railway, but not as good". You’re thinking too hard about it. It’s gonna be tunnels connecting hotels together with maybe some places where they come together to change routes or whatever. It will definitely stop at the stations and stop because the tunnels are backed up by other cars in front of you (there are videos of this happening with their current tunnel). But unlike a subway where you gotta “waste all that time” for other people to get on and get off it’s gonna be like a personal taxi that drives in underground death traps that you can’t escape from when the batteries inevitably catch fire.

A personal taxi between subway stops seems way less efficient than a normal rear end subway.

Hopefully Elon will get bored and let a company like Zoox use the tunnels with self-driving shuttles to actually achieve decent throughput

BalloonFish posted:Or are they saying that (as per Elon's previous "infinite tunnels, just keep digging down") ideas, that every casino will be connected by a direct route to every other casino? In which case, that's spectacularly dumb and they're basically just doing "a road network, but underground and no poors". Las Vegas car/death tunnel map:

Vintersorg posted:So this truck has next to no storage? To be fair, most people buying a F150 also don't need the storage, so they seem somewhat perspicacious as far their target market goes. "Looks like a truck, but has the utility of a SUV" is far from the worst positioning.

I know this is the dunk on Elon thread but come on guys saying a truck has no storage because it has additional front hood storage and a covered truck bed in the back is loving dumb. There are like a thousand legitimate things you can make fun of on this stupid thing.

I think the picture shows the “frunk”. There should be a larger truck bed in the back too.
