It’s rare for corporate brands to become so intertwined with everyday conversation that they become verbs. It’s rarer still for the owner of such a brand to announce plans to intentionally destroy it.
An estimated $4 to $20 billion in value, what is he thinking?
Here’s a source for passing the capacity requirement during a test. Again I’m not saying it’s going to work when scaled but so far it seems plausible and was far cheaper than building a train or rail between the ends of the convention center. And it has the wow factor.
The big benefits are supposed to come once the vehicles can skip all other stops and go directly to the destination. We’ll see.
It was a capacity number set by LVCVA (the customer), but yeah. Not much else they can do yet since it’s a small system and events that take over the entire convention center are intermittent.
It’s definitely less than that. The advantages will be when you’re able to get in a vehicle and input your destination and it can go straight there without a single other stop. In theory at least. I’m not saying it’s genius but it’s an interesting concept and I’m curious to see if it works when scaled.
Given the short distance it goes and the fact that it has human drivers currently…I’m doubtful it’s going to scale at all. In its current iteration, a small train would have been better in just about every way. I wouldn’t praise it for what it will be, praise it for what it is, because Elon Musk loves to promise the moon and stars and not deliver on those promises.
Just trying to hold people accountable for their bullshit. Go fuck yourselves.
If I recall correctly, you tried to “hold me accountable” by claiming I was slandering him and coming up with lies, when in fact none of what I said was even a lie. In fact, you even said yourself that it gets backed up “sometimes,” which is what I mean by traffic jams.
It sounds to me like you need to learn what the word slander, actually means. Also, I reported this because it’s rude as hell.

Got any sources for that? I’ve never seen anyone claim it’s a success

So they passed the tests they set for capacity? Eh, not really impressed. Thanks though.

Is it better than a light rail system, or would that not help sell enough products from a company owned by Musk?
At least provide a comment in good faith instead of sarcastic bullshit, this isn’t Reddit.
What is the capacity of the Vegas loop as compared to, say, an extra small subway or even an aboveground streetcar?

You are making a mountain out of a molehill and cherry picking gripes. I am done with this shit.
Good. People like you are not welcome here
