That has to be the most inefficient thing I've ever seen. Just build a high speed rail network ffs, probably cheaper and more efficient. Love for the USA's future public transport plans to be shit because apartheid Elon wants to build cool thing he thought of as a child.
This idea is perhaps emblematic about how absolutely fucking dumb the United States is. The fact anyone gave the time to even consider this idea in its current state - even ignoring its myriad other problems and the sheepish changing expectations - is a damning indictment.
Im not american so can someone explain to me how this is different to a taxi station?
Well Theres Your Problem did a good episode on Musk's Loop idea. Like the whole system is extremely inefficient, dangerous and almost certainly won't work as advertised. But the Loop is very good at destroying Tesla cars which means Musk can keep supplying these stupid systems with expensive ass Teslas every year.
