Still a scam

coming after the Boring company is able to make tunneling fast and cheap, there are getting there gradually
the turning radii being so huge means you basically need tunneling anyway and tunnels are very expensive right now

I haven't heard about Hyerloop in literal ages, probably shelved or something I'd assume.

Was there anything innovative about it other than being in a low pressure tunnel?

>other than being in a low pressure tunnel
as if that was something innovative

>>17009711
what happened to tesla? what happened to the solar panels on top of roofs? what happened with colonizing mars? what happened to anything elon has developed?
elon musk is a scam artist, they dumped all their other projects when they saw it's easier to scam money selling AI

>>17009735
hyperloop isnt a vaccum

>>17009711
Musk tried to get others to do it cause he was himself busy. Others failed. He started boring company to dig tunnels fast/cheap. Boring Company has dozen different tunnel projects that have been completed. They're now close to full automated tunnel digging.

Along the way, partisan politics and nimby politics happened

>>17009742
How many of those tunnels are Hyperloops?

>>17009760
0. Almost all of them are loop tunnels, short range tunnels where its impossible to get anything fast speed. I think the fastest is something like 40-50 mph in some longer tunnels, but nowhere near to qualify for "hyper". Hyper didnt happen. loop happened.

>>17009711
it turned into the boring company. they make underground tunnels for tesla cars to drive through.

Whatever happened to the Hyperloop?

>>17009763
So Elon invented a tunnel. Great, Humanity has never had tunnels cars can drive though slowly. He's a literal genius and better than I will ever be. Probably has a 12 inch dick too.

>>17009735
>theoretically 2500 mph
Should be called the AR-15 train

>>17009781
No one's "invented" a tunnel. Tunnels have existed for thousands of years. The Boring Company didn't "invent" a tunnel. They are innovating tunnel digging machines so that they are faster/cheaper/automated. Once the speed is down, cost is down, and manpower is down, then you can build tunnels for any job

>>17009805
Which of those goals have the accomplished?

>>17009805
So like all Elon lies, all the magic super engineering is just 12 months away. Elon hasn't done shit and you licking his smelly asshole all day won't change that.
>Civil engineers point out that TBC treated tunneling purely as a mechanical problem—assuming that standard tunnel boring machines (TBMs) were just poorly designed. Industry analysis, such as breakdowns by construction experts, notes that modern TBMs are already highly optimized machines. The real bottlenecks in tunneling are not the cutting wheels; they are geotechnical unpredictability, environmental permitting, utility relocation, right-of-way acquisition, and hyper-local regulations. By focusing heavily on building a faster machine (like their Prufrock model), TBC ignored the bureaucratic and geological realities that stall all major civil projects.

>The "Inducted Traffic" Trap: Transit planners note that putting individually driven consumer cars into a narrow tunnel does not solve traffic; it simply moves the bottleneck underground.

>Abysmal Throughput: Traditional subway tunnels can move tens of thousands of people per hour. Civil engineers calculate that TBC's standard 12-foot diameter tunnels—which only fit individual Teslas—have a fraction of that capacity, making them highly inefficient for mass transit.

>Severe Safety Hazards: Industry veterans have flagged major concerns regarding fire safety, emergency evacuation, and ADA compliance. If a Tesla battery catches fire inside a single-lane, 12-foot tunnel with no shoulders or emergency exits, evacuation and emergency vehicle access become logistical nightmares.

>Lack of Automation: Despite promises of high-speed autonomous pods traveling at 150 mph, the operational tunnels still rely on human drivers navigating standard Teslas at modest speeds. Engineers view this as a massive step backward from automated, high-capacity rail tech.

>>17009814
>A major complaint from municipal companies and city planners is that TBC used high-profile marketing to secure tentative agreements, only to abandon them when faced with real-world engineering challenges. According to investigative reporting by the Wall Street Journal, TBC walked away from, went silent on, or canceled heavily publicized projects in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, Baltimore, and Cupertino after the realities of environmental reviews and local geology set in. In meetings with organizations like the New York Port Authority, officials noted that TBC representatives seemed completely unprepared for basic regulatory and land acquisition protocols.

>Your observation that they "haven't done anything" is mostly accurate when compared to their grand original vision of a nationwide Hyperloop and urban multi-tier networks. However, they do have one active commercial footprint:

>The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Loop: TBC built a small, 2.4-mile underground loop system underneath the Las Vegas convention grounds where human-driven Teslas shuttle conventioneers between halls.

>The Vegas Expansion: While the company has struggled elsewhere, Clark County has approved a broader "Vegas Loop" framework aimed at connecting the Strip and the airport. Progress remains piecemeal, moving station-by-station rather than as a single massive infrastructure rollout.

>The Boring Company was originally founded by Elon Musk in December 2016

So in a decade Elon has managed to build a single tunnel loop.....2.4 miles long. That's it, that's all folks. That's the Monorail Song and dance for ya.

low IQ reddit post

there's a dozen tunnels already dug, commercialized, and being used as public transportation

California didn't buy it.
But the boring company is commercially successful as a tunnel digging company.

Didn't build a faster subway, but still digging tunnels.

>>17009874
Subways cost billions per mile
Boring tunnels cost millions per mile

you lost tranny

>>17009807
they have made progress on all of those

China will get it done if there is a usecase for it. China is the train country now after America cucked to the car Jew a century ago.

>>17009814
>they are

>geotechnical unpredictability

Pretty sure in the year of our lord 2026 we have coring machines and so the ability to know exactly what we are going to be drilling through

>Environmental permitting

It's a hole through the ground, not a chemical processing plant. In a rational country this could be safely ignored or minimised to a degree that doesn't interfere with the project so long as you aren't plopping a tunnel exit on an endangered turtle nesting site or whatever.

>utility relocation

What utilities? very few utilities are deep enough to post an obstacle to a tunnel.

>right-of-way acquisition

Jewish red tape extortion racket

>hyper-local regulations
Extra Jewish red tape extortion racket

So they don't have any of them.

>>17009849
Can you list all of the public transportation systems actively using quasi-hyberloop other than the short tunnel in Las Vegas?
