  1. He is basically doing what trains did in the 1900's - except this is worse than trains. How people got so excited over this nothingburger of totally not new, not cheap, not better (not even close) technology is way beyond me. Like having the smallest tunnel possible, with absolutely 0 safety & redundancy features (good luck to anyone involved if a fire breaks out or if a car breaks down in the tunnel) with 62 cars with drivers (when they had in the contract that it would be fully autonomous pods, good luck for the extra totally not little cost) with cars driving at 30 mph ? Having to deliver 4400 passengers/hour and clearly not being able to even hit half of that ? Oh wow, I am soooo impressed /s

  2. Quality content my ass. Maybe on other video clips because for certain this one does not have quality content, just blowing up Musk into stratosphere hype. The Loop in LA didn't cost $10 million, but $53 million, was late, it's WAAY short of the 4400 passangers/hour for at least 13 hours/day and it doesn't have fully autonomous pods, but normal cars with drivers (which, btw, means significant extra running cost, as 62 drivers is nothing to sneeze at). Yeah, it was cheaper than that NY subway tunnel, but we're totally not comparing apples with apples here. The LA tunnel is the smallest it can be and has absolutely 0 (ZERO) safery features. No ventilation, no space for pedestrians, no exits, no fire dispensers, no bypass lanes/tunnels. I can't wait for a simple car breakdown to happen and to see all the Musk fans coming up with excuses that he's still a genious, even though his solution a) totally does not solve traffic and b) is inferior to subways.
