boring company was a distraction to discourage public transportation investments
Yup. The moron even admitted it too!
Hey there, Florida and California, don’t build any high speed rail! In just five years, we can build a magical system of tubes that will be twice as fast and cost half as much! Sure, it will always be just five years away, but that is a small price to pay!
The man’s got Trump mouth, I don’t believe a single word he says no matter what.
Have they not gone bankrupt yet? I just kind of assumed they had once their “prototypes” turned into a complete laughing-stock and having not heard anything from them in years.
They are doing a project in Vegas to do a loop, but it only holds Tesla’s… So maybe close?
Yeah, that was the laughingstock I mentioned. It’s basically a really terrible highway underground that’s worse in just about every possible way from a normal highway. If I recall it’s a 2 lane road and the top speed was only like 35 mph or something. It’s a complete joke.
I’d describe the Vegas loop as two, one lane tunnels rather than a two lane road. It’s a minor but important distinction, two lane roads have a lot of extra room to maneuver, while the Vegas loop will probably get very entertaining if one of those Teslas break down, especially if say… one catches fire.
Of course, what will be really fun if there’s a mid tunnel fire is that the ventilation system is just “blow air from one station to the next.” So one station has to get burning fumes and heat of a burning car… as well as everyone in the tunnel downwind of the fire.
It’s always seemed like a laundering scheme to me.
Although they did actually market and sell oversized lighters at a hefty profit (as “flamethrowers”).
This assumes it was alive.
That’s not true! They made 20,000 flamethrowers!
Can’t your read? It’s not a flamethrower!
Yes.
But…mud bricks? Did they make any mud bricks?
