Where do you see wealth politics? I see perfectly legitimate questioning of the environmental impact of services like this in the last fifth of a long and detailed article. Should the extremely valid concerns raised by carbon-powered transport not be covered on a site that’s dedicated to the subject of motor vehicles?

that’s a one-lane tunnel. one car breaks down, it becomes a cave rescue operation. yeah...maybe I’m a wee bit over-dramatic w/ that assessment, but seriously...it could take many hours to extract a broken down car in a tiny tunnel.

Just to give more color Paypalsboard booted him because the workers were ready to revolt and demanded Thiel be placed in charge. Just how much of an asshole do you have to be that Thiel is a more desirable outcome?

How is that lashing out? Damn you Elon fanboys are such babies.

We don’t need more roads. More roads creates more traffic, not reduced travel time. It’s called “induced demand.” We need to take those hundreds of millions subsidizing the automobile industry with urban highway expansion and channel it into subsidizing public transport.

Counter-point.

Oh, maybe. Us cynics are still waiting for him to show any actual “technology advance” on the tunneling front. He’s just building small-unsafe-unsupportable tunnels, because he doesn’t know shit about actual tunneling.

This just in, new “ElonSpeak” definitions:

Have they said anything about a new tunneling machine, or are they still using the used sewer-tunneling machine?

Cheaper with less capacity doesn’t exactly represent a win win.

Ten miles an hour under the speed limit is probably still too fast, at least if you're on a truly snowy road that's not a residential street. As someone who made it back from Illinois on Sunday night (what is normally a 3-hour drive took 5), there were very few points on the trip that I could even go 10 under safely.
