>>536279552I think the idea of a high-speed autonomous freeway is cool but why did it need to be a tunnel?
>>536279633Easiest to tunnel from point A to point B.
>>536279633>but why did it need to be a tunnel?They were originally going to be underground beneath roads and buildings but musk is a massive retard and didn't realize that idea would be logistically impossible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegas_Loop>The transportation system consists of tunnels and surface roads which are used by Tesla cars, driven by employees, to shuttle passengers to stops at the Las Vegas Convention Center complex and Las Vegas transportation connections.[36] >traveling at about 35 miles per hour (56 km/h)Yeah that sounds silly. I thought it'd be cooler but also >The Boring Company won a $48.7 million contract in May 2019 from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).50M is literally nothing in infrastructure terms. If they actually built a 3.5km tunnel for that much I'd say that's incredibly cheap.
>>536279552Rich dumb tech people trying to re-invent trains for the thousanths time.If something already works why complicate it?
Because trains are like 10 thousand times more efficient.
>>536279552If you look at it as a test run for mars rover/drone tunnels its a success.Everything Elon does should be put through a filter of>how does this help with his mars colonyIt will literally explain why he does anything, why he went from electric vehicles to rockets to sattelite internet. All his side projects are the building blocks for a mars colony. Even the politics.The title of future rulers of Mars is: The Elon
>>536279552you will never be a woman
>>536279552Shocking that someone with a "sold my cybertruck yesterday" flair would have a scathing opinion about that.
>>536280472Why do you like centralized infrastructure. Do you want your country to succeed? Do you not want profits to go to rentierism? What are you Chinese? No hacemos eso en América.
>>536279552>Why wasn't Elon Musk 's tunnel a success?it's a technology demonstrator for government black projects and off world colony construction. this wasn't for normal people
>>536280357They dumped used drill fluid straight into the sewer system that gets reclaimed into tap water for Las Vegas pretty hilarious someone saw the 'not my problem' memes

>>536279552Because it's retarded
>>536279552I hear his son successfully built a tunnel.
>>536279769>t. never dealt with doing anything under ground
>>536280357>which are used by Tesla cars, driven by employeeswhats the point I thought you are supposed to use your own car. Just take a train at that point. No wonder its that cheap.

>SFGATE managing editor Katie Dowd takes a trip on the ...I despise musk but feminist are fucking worse
>>536279552Because 75% of everything he says is bullshit
>>536279552It's not a very effective mass transit system but it's fine for its niche use. Far FAR away from being the worst in the world, though it might get the title for the silliest.
>>536281043kek
>>536279552Because he's an idiot who knows nothing about anything, who happened to fail upwards using mommy's emerald money, allowing him to take over companies founded by actual smart people, only to pretend like he invented everything those companies produce and slowly run those companies into the ground when they actually start listening to his ideas.
>>536279633It was supposed to be an underground tram where you would pull into a parking space that was an elevator that would deposit you and your car on the tram in the tunnel and the tram would take you to your destination where an elevator would put you back on street level. It was supposed to extend outside the city like a commuter rail.The end result is basically a cuck tunnel.
>>536279552It was always meant to waste money and sabotage high speed rail projects
>>536281043Yes, but it leaks and is in constant danger of collapse.
>>536279552TL;DR
>>536279608you won't be so negative when 300 niggers an beaners an jews die in an unstoppable lithium ion fire. just do not ride.
>>536281193Turns out California was able to waste money and sabotage their high speed rail project without Musk's help.
>>536279552>Elon Musk>Builds tunnel>Proven to rape children, his tranh son is proof>Children trafficked through tunnel>People don't like pedosThat's why
>>536281230imagine keeping that costume on, after you'd looked in a mirror. mind-boggling.
>>536279633>>536281183I listened to Elon talk about it, his primary reasoning was that on the surface you can only build road in 2 dimensions but underground you can build in 3 since you can build further down as well. He figured it would be a solution to the traffic.Of course he hadn't learned the first lesson of civic design around cars; when you add one more lane, you get maybe a year or two of traffic relief, then the new lane fills with more cars. You can't fix traffic by adding more lanes, you can only fix it by reducing the number of cars.
>>536281230give him a break, he was just going through a phase
>>536279552The problem isn't the tunnel. It is the man who made it happen.
>>536281230The trash on the floor is a nice touch, probably just threw if there for the maid to clean up later
>>536281208kek. this is almost as funny as that time Elon's hat was wearing a hat!
>>536281291Yeah they should’ve just eminent domained land for the right-of-way instead of having to buy parcels all along the route and cater to NIMBYs
>>536280665Are you retarded? Trains are more efficient and no amount of mumbo jumbo can undo this reality.
>>536281058What if the driver was like the robot taxi driver from Total Recall?
>>536279552One of Musk's most utterly failed concepts next to the hyperloop. The only success Musk has had is in buying up other people's visions.
>y-y-y-yea>s-s-s-s-so l-like>we need a tunnel>heh>so you can press the floor pedal down>right?>so you can go really fast and this would solve all transit problems>mhm
>>536279552>dude>what if we just tunneled under traffic and sent them real quick like>duuuuuuude no wonder you're a billionare
Car culture is actually *opens envelope* BASED AND REDPILLED! *applause* Subways are for brown people and we ALL hate that. So instead we need self-driving cars hitched front to back, underground, with stations and stops. That’ll show the communist brown libtards. I bet Indians dug the original subways in the 1800s. SAAR!
>>536279552Because no space for emergency units if an accident happens.
>>536281350>You can't fix traffic by adding more lanes, you can only fix it by reducing the number of cars.That causes other problems, mainly poor people getting fucked. It's far better to limit population density.If you force cities to stay small, everyone can drive cars. If you let cities get too large, only rich people can drive cars.
>>536280827The toll road that goes to Laguna off the i5 is great. 6 bucks and keeps trash away from the nice areas. Also the mexican toll ways are pretty good. Keeps you away from the plebes.

>>536281850US is full of low-density large area cities/towns where walking and public transit are not viable and all infrastructure is for cars. And then they increase population density when they run out of room, so there’s more people competing for the car infrastructure
>>536279608Build Your Death (BYD)
>>5362795529/10 of Elon musk's ventures have been complete failures. The only one actually making any money is Starlink.
>>536279552It’s a worse version of a subway
>>536281208It's in danger of prolapse too
>>536279608>>536279552>I took a seat on a bench, stunned. What happened when a car drove up?the dude writing this article is such a faggot, he used the system, it worked, but he couldn't get clicks without his quirky reddit hate humor so he added a few hundred useless words to get clicks
>>536280940Why are you laughing? I know French cars can't go more than 5 km/h but surely you recognize that isn't the case everywhere.
>>536282728expressing hatred of elon is all it takes
>>536279552i like how this retard makes a tunnel and redditors clapped like seals thinking hes some kind of a genius
It was success. The problem is people think elon's pork projects are for us instead of for pocketing money for himself.
>>536280472>Because trains are like 10 thousand times more efficient.Yet they bought out the bankrupt monorail to add to the vegas loop. curious. https://www.frommers.com/tips/news/las-vegas-monorail-to-be-repurposed-as-above-ground-track-for-elon-musks-vegas-loop/
>>536279552 then don't ride it, faggot.. enjoy your traffic in 150F weather on the surface
>>536279552Hint: He didn't expect it to catch on....on Earth. There are other places where tunnel boring will be essential. Have you noticed the coincidental width of the tunnel borer and certain spacecraft?It's like the shills aren't even trying anymore. /pol/ deserves better.
I live in Las Vegas and didn’t know about this.
>>536280792this. dubai and those arab state monarch already investing full speed into making tunnels for themselves to avoid goy. I guarantee there will be those tunnels running into underground parking of Baalroom at White House to all other important sites if not already.
>>536283122>taxi driving underground in tunnels and then catching the monorail. >intermediary timetablesintermodal public transportation only works in high density cities like NYC
>>536281628What if my farts smelled like rainbow sherbet? I’m not trying to be a dick. Imagine if my farts smelled like rainbow sherbet? Brrrraaaaaaapppp aaaahhhhhh ssssnnniiiifffff yeah that’s rainbow sherbet. Get a big wiifff!
Far too ambitious for 21st century Americans. It was basically a gimmick and he knew that.
>>536279552The original design involved building vacuum-sealed tunnels with trains traveling at 500+ mph. It was crackpot sci-fi retardation that would obviously never happen, so the implementation of his idea eventually became underground tunnels with Teslas driving at 40mph. Putting trains in the tunnels would work a lot better, but Elon doesn't sell trains, so Teslas were used instead even though it makes the thing utterly pointless.
>>536279633Spacex has drug smuggling tunnels across the Mexican border, these tunnels are just a distraction. How do you think Elon is worth so much even though his companies constantly lose money? Its an open secret in Mexico, the narcos all get Tesla tattoos to show their affiliation with the tunnel system
>>536280472Only aerodynamically and by the watt/kg, they are not and have never been more economically efficient
>>536281145He's a brilliant engineer and entrepreneur, but his strategy is basically to take moonshot bets trying to invent technology that most people would think is impossible. He wants to turn science fiction into reality. Most of the time it doesn't work, but his companies have had a few notable successes. Self-driving cars and rockets that land themselves back on the launch pad are pretty crazy concepts that seemed pretty far out there, but his companies made them happen.
>>536281818Just seal both ends off and bore a new tunnel
>>536279552what are the oxygen levels in this tunnel? how are they ventilated?
>>536281350>you can only build road in 2 dimensions
>>536280017
>>536284856This one was always just advertising Teslas. The hyperloop was in California.
>>536279624Germans prefer bigger holes?
>>536279552Because none of musk's projects were successful. He's only good at selling projects to investors. He's probably the best salesman in the world. The same applies to trump.
>>536279552He reinvented a subway.
One of the purposes for that company was cucking commiefornians out of their public transport infra rework and to boost sales for his Teslas.The main one is ((([REDACTED]))).
>>536279552It is a success, they are building this shit in Tennessee and Miami, and planing to in Saudi Arabia.
reminds me of the chabad tunnels. why do rightoids feel the need to scurry underground like talmudic rodents?
>>536285121>He's a brilliant engineer He doesn't engineer shit, he hires other people to make his dumb ideas work
>>536279552It would be so funny if someone just dropped a boulder in the middle of the highway and clog the entire tunnel
>>536279552It was a big successIt’s just not for the goyim
>>536284315mine that, I'm very self conscious about farts, especially in public. I used to shove scented toilet paper up my anus but that quickly became clumpy and shit covered. so now I use scented baby powder and shove about 3 table spoon worth before leaving home which gives me about 2-3 hours of nice smelling farts. When I go out for more than 3 hours I bring a little baggie of powder with me so I can resupply
>>536288411i believe this. if you mixed the scented fart powder with vaseline and squeezed that up your ass with a turkey baster, you could enjoy nice smell flatulence and also be ready for buttsex at a moments notice.
>>536285484self ventilated, retard. as long as they aren't leveled on both ends then it will create natural suction from cooler area to warm area. (what is chimney effect, google)
>>536288535Musk should grab a 9mm and self ventilate
>>536280357>If they actually built a 3.5km tunnel for that much I'd say that's incredibly cheap.Lower quality than a cartel tunnel under the US-Mexico border.
>>536279552all of Elon's companies are dogshit and he wants nearly 2T for SpaceX LMAO
>>536279552Wouldn't it make more sense for this to be a train?
>>536279552False reality:>Elon Musk is a retard!!Reality:>Musk's Boring Company has a valuation of $7 Billion dollars.Even the Musk project that everyone makes fun of is profitable and has sky high valuation.
>>536279552What is with THEM and tunnels? Did they come from the ground? Do they have retractable talons?
>>536280585That fucking nigger was dumb enough to buy a cyber truck and then dumb enough to brag about selling it on Reddit
>>536279552>What is a metro system? Lmao what a fucking shit show
>>536279552Because Elon has an iq of 75 flat, he can talk but he cannot understand. He says what others tell him to say and they only tell him lies. Why would you expect a retard to be correct? That is on you friend.
>>5362884113 tablespoons you say? Let’s fucking do this! My ass fart excellence and remain hydrated!
>>536279769>Easiest to tunnel from point A to point B.is that how you leave the house every day moron?
>>536289864
>>536279552TBC is fucking brilliant, but requires rails.The FSD self-driving system does not work, period. The car just crashes into the wall. There's just no way for them to make it foolproof, they don't know how. Musk at some point suggested ADDING SPECIAL WHEELS TO EACH CAR. Wheels that flip out and attach to a cement track, to guide the vehicle. Obviously this could never work. I can't even find the gif anymore but it's on electrek or TBC youtube probably.The idea behind digging 100 miles of tunnels underneath each city is just brilliant. Even at just 30mph, you're beating traffic AND going diagonally.. the throughput would just be crazy. There is nothing that beats tunnels at all. Tunnels are the real next step for traffic. The main point is you use your own car, so you don't have to be on the subway with smelly niggers and homeless people - and you don't get "stranded" without a car, you can just drive back home anytime you want. You also could have tunnels for sewers, car parking, all kinds of shit.>>536281350>Of course he hadn't learned the first lesson of civic design around cars; when you add one more lane, you get maybe a year or two of traffic relief, then the new lane fills with more cars. You can't fix traffic by adding more lanes, you can only fix it by reducing the number of cars.That's a lot of words to say "induced demand". You deal with that problem by building 50x the capacity that you actually need.
