And most of those cars would not be filled to capacity neither.

“could” is the key word here. Technically yes the math checks out even with 4.5 seconds to stop, get out, etc.

Donate money too. Mother Jones, Pro Publica, NPR, Wikipedia, etc. are all invaluable resources that only exist because of people supporting them. 

You’re asking the right questions.

Have you ever seen a briefcase full of cash?  That’s likely part of the reason.

Seriously, I have had the pleasure of riding the Victoria Line (and others) a lot, and never in a million years could this Tesla Loop move anywhere near 40% as many people in even a fraction of the time.

I just starting reading the books in order actually and am through the first two (Casino Royale and Live & Let Die), and you are spot on!  I mean, just wow. Not to mention, in the books, Bond never actually does...anything. He is constantly captured, anyone who had the misfortune of becoming his friend or partner is…

Because the Vegas tunnel was backed by the private Vegas Tourism board, it’s exempt from federal scrutineers who may criticize its construction and operation...

I still prefer him to Musk!

Hard to park under a firetruck though. So they benefit in one way from 0 fire service. 

the Vegas Loop can handle“For comparison, around 4,000 passengers per hour traveling through the tunnels in Tesla cars”

I live here. And I work at the Convention Center sometimes. Let me tell you, The Loop is *nothing* like public transportation. It only operates when there is a convention in progress, not in between. Since I mostly do setups and teardowns, I have *never* had the opportunity to take this. It’s not transportation, it’s…

Math doesnt add up. Assume each direction has half the 4000 passengers. 2000 passengers one way, divide by 4 per car, means 500 vehicles per hour. Given there are 3600 seconds in an hour, means a car must leave every 7.2 seconds. Really?

No safety exits or proper ventilation...

A tight tunnel, with EV cars that have a tendency to catch fire...

ProPublica has been knocking it out of the park lately.  This story, the car tows in Connecticut, the mole that infiltrated a few militias.  Really excellent reporting that needs to be more common in America, especially over the next four years.

Musk, Trump, Thiel, et al. are megalomaniacal psychopaths. James Bond would be sent to kill every one of them.

It will actually take disapproval through the Congressional Review Act, not an executive order, but with the GOP in control of the whole government, that won’t be a challenge.

I mean they can and they will continue to mistreat disabled passengers, because of course they will.
