HUMAN TRAFFICKING
We need a tunnel from fortworth to Dallas . Actually a few of them to curb the infamous rush hours traffic. From 3pm till 7pm you really don't want to drive between fort worth and Dallas it takes forever
So you would prefer to be in a traffic jam inside a tunnel?
Agree 💯
This is the way.
You need a rail system.
@@maxpeterson8616 There is one called Trinity Railway Express (TRE). It uses double decker cars.
The north end of that route is rife with faults and voids to complicate the engineering. That happened at Georgetown just north of Austin when Interstate 35 had to be re-routed to avoid building an overpass on soft limestone over a cavern.
Inner Space Caverns. You're exactly right.
As someone who regularly drives on texas freeways, most people average between 75 and 80 miles an hour. Which in most places is above the speed limit, but even law enforcement goes that fast, so its more or less the accepted speed limit is 80 miles an hour in Texas. Also, to address the mayors remarks that you had mentioned. Yes, a tunnel is cool, but he is right, a tunnel system would not realistically solve the cities problems as far as traffic, in addition to maintenance costs there is also the added risk of an emergency occurring in the tunnel system. Which emergency responders would, in most cases, have a hard time getting to. When compared to something like a bus system, which uses already in place infrastructure, in most places, a tunnel system just adds more costs than benefit.
You are as close minded as the mayor of St. Antonio!
The system is a city to city solution. Hyperloop is not capable of solving internal transport problems. It could create the location of a new hub and there by ease congestion elsewhere. The mayor answers a question that I doubt was asked.
@@rekhak8817 I assume you didn't read my comment to its fullest extent, in it I explained WHY its a bad idea. Despite my interest in tunnels and tunnel systems, it is not ideal for "St. Antonio" to build out a completely new system when an optimization of the current system would serve their needs. An optimization that would not only serve the needs of the city, but also save it a lot of money.
you can't optimize Texas for how stupid the majority of Texas drivers are.
anything better would help because...it would just be better.
building anything newer and better is going to cost money.
maybe big gov't should invest in its own people rather than war and war criminals.
@@zenkuei390 The point I, and the mayor, am making is that, yes, it would be cool and shiny and new, but it would also be expensive and there is an option that gets the same results with a cheaper price tag. Its not about better/worse, its about maintainability and cost. Sure you can just throw money at it until it is better and then go "see! see! I told you so!" but realistically that wouldnt solve anything and would become a liability for the city if and when federal and state assistance runs out (If there was any to begin with).
Now, to address your first comment, the problem is not how people drive, its about how many people are on the road. So, the "stupid majority of Texas drivers", whether true or not, does not affect anything in this scenario.
As far as your comment on the government goes, yeah... the US federal government has 2 priorities, bomb anyone who doesnt agree with you when you tell them to, and spy on its own citizens. Oh yeah, and dont forget to always hate your neighbor because you never know who they voted for.
Parts of the Austin Chalk in Texas is an oil-bearing formation. Some of the 1st horizontal wells were drilled in the Austin Chalk as far back as the 1980's.
So a vacuum pulled in an unsealed tube would suck oil into it. I suppose they could then pump it out and sell the stuff. So much for carbon neutral hopes, then.
I was fortunate to work for a hotel in 88' and three investors were hot about horizontal drilling. Their investment was the Austin chalk formation, they predicted the amazing boon based on this technology, then the stories of oil busted millionaire's going to rural Court Houses through old mineral rights and buying leases penny's on the dollar that made Texas the storied boom to bust wildcats famous.
Can’t wait for Elon to accomplish as many subsidies from Texas like he did with Cali 😍
AND EVERYWHERE ELSE FOR EVERY BUSINESS
RE: Travel Time >> It probably takes more than 10 minutes, just/only to reach 600mph. ALSO: Travel Time really *should include any waiting, loading, seating and scheduled gaps (between runs). There is even more overhead, here, than with an automobile.
just FYI... average speed between Austin/SA is closer to 70mph. But the biggest problem with this is that TX metro areas do not have a mature public transportation system for a connection to feed into...
8:40 this area of the world is called South East Asia, however India is South Asia. Much love from an SEA Tesla fan. Keep the videos coming 😀
above ground hyperloop would never really work due to extreme thermal expansion issues; a tunnel-based version addresses the thermal expansion issues and may well be the only viable way to make hyperloop feasible (if there is a way).
Unless there is an external sleeve around the tunnel to absorb the heat from the sun.
How do you seal the walls to pull a high vacuum with a porous tube? It will have to be lined with steel. So you have the expense of boring the hole PLUS the expense of the steel tube. Brilliant.
@@kimweaver1252 completely different issue from the one above, heat shielding exists for the above ground 'thermal expansion' issues. Below the ground, the tunnels are lined with a pipeline, just like any of the utilities that get to your home.
@@ReverendJon Absorbing the heat would be bad. We want to reflect it.
@@kimweaver1252 What? This makes absolutely no sense this is a completely different issue than the thermal expansion issue, The steel sleeve that you call up is essentially what would have to go around the tubing anyway if it were underground just like water pipes or other utilities so you’re essentially talking about a non-issue for the high vacuum since we would need that steel anyway,
A better argument would The added cost of the structural support you will need to lift the loop off the ground
In the video there's a false assumption regarding the cost of hyperloop conduit above ground is assemed less than cost of hyperloop in Boring Co tunnel. It very well can be that tunnel will be cheaper. After all as the video noticed, ground characteristics ate very favorable, and Vegas loop was constructed for the cost of 55 million per mile.
I don't understand this. I thought Boring Co. was going to deliver tunnels for 20% of this $55 million per mile. What gives? How much did they spend per mile on the Resorts extension?
@@ReachOutToWilliam they didn't disclose the cost of resorts section yet, and we won't know exactly because they construct it using their own money. The price of LVCC includes 3 stations, and operations for a period of time, so it's not pure tunnel cost. Still incredibly cheaper than what we used to see with tunnels
"10 minute trip"? Doubt it, it'll take time to accelerate and de-accelerate at either end, and you probably want to do both somewhat cautiously, leaving a healthy margin for safety. And who knows how long before speeds might get anywhere near the theoretical maximum. However, Aust->SAnt would be a great proof-of-practicality project, without biting off a crazy distance.
Good point 👍I'm thinking it will be around 30min from Downtown Austin to Downtown SA
Right 30 after boarding/clearing for travel.
Maybe 20
It's 80 miles that's about 130km at 1/4g of acceleration half way and deceleration of 1/4g for the second half of the trip, this will give a ~7.7 minute total travel time.
So yeah it is definitely possible!
For the maybe unsettling part your max speed will be 2,030 KmH or 1,266 MPH
It's still a day and night difference regardless of how far off the math was considering the car vs this or even a regular high speed rail train.
Interstate 35 traffic is usually slow and go during the day, even at midday, between San antonio and Austin and north from there. An excellent first choice, serious proof of concept. MUCH more realistic and useful than "terraforming" Mars (if not quite as thrilling).
Musk can do both. While blasting hundreds (so far) of spaceships off earth, installing Starlink, The Boring company, supplying the world with EV's, and myriad other companies building myriad other products that benefit our world. And that is just scratching the surface of the projects he has going on now and that are in the planning stage. We have a genius working for us.
Toll road 130 goes from Austin to (almost to) San Antonio & the speed limit is 85 mph.
Ship loads of those Teslas Model 3 any Y, from the China factory are getting to New Zealand and Australia. A friend of mine in Auckland, got a new Model Y a month or six weeks ago.
Hyperloop is a solution in search of a problem. I almost never agree with Ron Nirenberg but in this I have to. No way there is going to be enough traffic between S.A. and Austin to justify building this monstrosity.
Tunnel boring as a specialty at the width of that harbour tunnel is very small it’s not going to be practical for any serious traffic use maybe I could be looking at pedestrian tunnels there’s plenty of room there for people to walk along but not for cars
That's one way to get auto workers from San Antonio to giga Texas and back. 😁
That same limestone formation that exists between Austin and San Antonio is also the location of the Edwards’s Aquifer so…. That particular”transportation “ route may be taken.
Salute you Mr Elon for your work watching from Pearl of Africa
If your going to be digging Tunnels under Texas, use it to reinforce the Failed Power Grid, where Land Rights above Ground are causing difficulties in licensing new Power Lines.
More people need Electricity, than need a "More Convenient" way to get between two Cities.
Good luck with that!
When in Texas drive the posted speed limit unless you are in a major city then drive the speed most of traffic is driving. It will be above the posted limit. In Texas speed limits are really enforced.
Just to inform you. This English translation of an idea was written in Norwegian from 2000-2002, the name of the book; Hemmelig SOS or in English: Secret Mayday.
Attached is a simplified description, two scientific papers with accompanying drawings for patents, and some sketches.
I have long pondered how to transport people and goods quickly between principal cities or key central hubs in Northern Europe.
Lately, in my mind, I have been pursuing the idea of super-fast train lines, with cruise speeds above seven hundred kilometers per hour. The solution appeared when I was looking for ways to transport people to and from Fusion Island. A specially constructed pipe laid down on the seabed function as a railway. The North Sea is suitable; we have years of experience adding oil pipelines and cables on the sea bottom, most recently the eight superconductor cables from Fusion Island. I mention here a galore of other areas. All shallow waters with a reasonably flat bottom are perfect. In the North Sea, the Norwegian Trench is perhaps too deep and wide to cross. Crossing a mountain range is not optimal for these tubes, but with tunneling, it is doable. Uninterrupted transport is the cheapest solution, after all.
Picture11
How to do this? Study the profile sketch of the tube! The diagram shows the cross-section of my pipe system for fast trains. Preferably the conduit should be airless, giving us the least resistance and highest speed. A system ideally suited for the Moon, Mars, and other places with thin or no atmosphere. Here on Earth, we solve it by letting it be a little air in the pipes and sluice train in and out of the stations.
The train propulsion is an electromagnet motor. By changing magnetic fields, the train "pull" and "push," moving along the tracks. Negative magnetic field retracts, positive attracts. The progress mimics the animal world. A fun comparison is to imagine a super-fast larva without doing meanders. The train engine uses electric power, provided by fusion power - low polluting and very environmentally friendly - such transport is what people want.
I'd be curious to know if the cost of tunneling is really more expensive than purchasing and building on land above ground. Of course tunneling would be expensive, but one can pretty much dig from point A to point B in a straight line without regard to existing surface infrastructure.
Why not research it? Takes like 2 minutes. Above ground it costs $500 million and is never completed. Underground it costs $1.2 billion and takes an extra 20 years. Unless it is the boring company. Then it is done on time and under budget.
@@davidbeppler3032 Actually, if we are talking elevated roadways vs Loop tunnels, you are looking at $70m per mile vs $20m per dual bore Loop tunnel.
So extrapolate that to Hyperloop tunnels on pylons versus in a Loop tunnel and you get a better idea.
@@andrewfranklin4429 You are shutting down miles of heavy use roads for years to build a loop? Did you calculate the cost of that?
@@davidbeppler3032 why would you have to shut down any roads? Loop tunnel construction occurs completely underground having virtually zero impact on anything on the surface during construction or operation.
@@davidbeppler3032 Why would one need to shut down the surface roads ? Maybe I missed something.
You’d be extremely lucky to go 80 mph on I-35 from austin to SA. Almost always traffic.
I take the toll from San Antonio to Austin to giga factory. It’s 85 mph
Texas Tom wrote of oil in the Austin Chalk. I think any oil would be deep. The chalk is ideal for Boring Company tunnels. The formation reaches up into Dallas. I live on the Whiterock Escarpment. In the 1990s the US began tunneling for the Superconducting Super Collider around Waxahatchi, but stopped the project because of the projected cost.
Chalk might be good for digging tunnels, but try making that tunnel into a vaccum.
@@TheScotsalan For a Hyperloop the tunnel would have to have an inside tube. Elon's newest pod foregoes the vacuum and has a big fan sucking air in at the front. It would still probably need a liner, but not for a vacuum.
@@robitmcclain6107 I aint seen the tunnel with a fan thing 👍. So, its not the hyperloop then, its a tunnel. Oh wait. do you mean the vegas hypdrloop ? Thats a storm drain with a cheaffeur driven tesla. No fan in that. 👍
@@TheScotsalan I found this via Google: "As vacuuming the entire Hyperloop tube is neither feasible or cost-effective, partial pressure would be kept in the tube. Hyperloop would have counter rotating fans on the nose of the pod to actively transfer high pressure air from the front to the rear of the vehicle, allowing the pod to overcome the Kantrowitz limit."
@@robitmcclain6107 So yup, the whole thing is a total con 👍. It started off a pod on an aircushon on a vac tube. Then it became a maglev in a vac tube.. now its a train in a tunnel with a propellor on it, the exact same as was proposed in about 1910 👍. Total con. A standard train does not have any of these problems. Sure it has air resistance, but so does everything. 😂
Probably the debate towns who didn't embrace the Iron Horse were abandoned and the city's that did became Shining on the hill.
Elon might consider how the railroad sometimes did it by completing tracks from town to town and expanding as the revenue permitted. It worked well then and should again. just a thought.
The railroads could afford it as the US government subsidized them to build across the nation by giving them five miles of the land on either side of the track. As towns then cities grew up along the track, the value of the land sold off sustained the railroad and vastly enriched the railroad owners.
@@kimweaver1252 In the case of the Vegas Loop, Musk is building the 34 miles of tunnels at zero cost to taxpayers with the 55 hotels, resorts and casinos etc paying for their own Loop stations at around $1.5m a pop.
Musk can do this thanks to Loop tunnels only costing $10m per mile versus $260 - $1 billion per mile for subways.
That takes long term investment return expectations. Shareholders say eff that.
@@andrewfranklin4429 subway capacity is 1000 times more than hyperloop and also much more effective, won't you consider this? and also much safer.
@@vishals7433 not true Vishal. The current LVCC Loop carries just as many passengers as subways of a similar size but boasts FAR shorter waiting times, is faster, more comfortable, more pandemic safe but most importantly is VASTLY cheaper than the alternatives.
The current 0.8 mile long three-station LVCC Loop handles up to 27,000 people per day, has a frequency/headway of 3 - 6 seconds between cars, averages 35mph and cost $48.7m.
The Berlin U55 is a 3-station 1.5km subway in the centre of Berlin which is similar in size to the LVCC Loop but it only carries a minuscule 6,200 people per day (compared to the Loop’s 27,000 ppd) at an average speed of 19mph and 5 minute frequency and yet cost $500 million in today’s dollars in total, 10x the cost of the LVCC Loop.
The Seattle U-Link is a 3.15-mile underground light rail which also has 3 stations which had a ridership of 33,900 people per day pre-covid (so only a few thousand more than the LVCC Loop), though it is much less now. Runs at an average speed of 31mph with a 10 min peak/15 min off-peak frequency. It cost $1.9 billion dollars in total or $600 million per mile, 39x more than the LVCC Loop.
The San Francisco Central Subway is a 3-station 1.7 mile subway with a targeted ridership of 35,000 people per day with a 5 minute headway and an average speed of a miserable 9.6mph and cost $1.578 billion, 32x the cost of the Loop. (Whether it achieves that ridership which is only a few thousand higher than the Loop during this pandemic is of course yet to be seen)
The Newark City Subway/light rail is a 6.4 mile, 17 station line with an average speed of 21.5mph and has a daily ridership of 19,289 and cost $208m for the 1 mile above-ground light rail portion or 4x the cost of the underground Loop. I’m not sure of the cost of the underground portion of the Newark subway, typical costs start at $600m per mile or 10x the cost of the Loop.
As you can see, the LVCC Loop is extremely competitive, though that is nothing compared to the 55 station, 34 mile Vegas Loop with its 60mph average speed, 0.9 seconds between cars and 57,000 people per hour capacity which is now under-construction at ZERO cost to the taxpayer.
However, the Loop is FAR better in terms of comfort, speed and frequency/wait times, and VASTLY cheaper to build than any of these subway systems.
It's not about cost. A tunnel from the airport to the Riverwalk does nothing. They already have express busses that do that.
TRAFFIC is the problem!
I cant wrap my head around a gliding on a pocket of air in a vacuum. I'd imagine electro magnets as they are an energy company. But im sure they won't make a perfect vacuum so they would have to find the perfect diameter to air density ratio and work some magic. A mixture of rails and high pressure fans/turbos to push the air backwards faster than it compresses.
I’m impressed! Someone actually said a real comment and a good question!
Actually, the large fan that sucks anything in front of it is the same thing that would happen to anyone that walked in front of a jet’s fan in an airport!
If you succeed drawing enough air into this tight capsule, with proper vents will compress more than enough air pressure to blast out more pressure than it takes in!
It will work! And you can sit in comfort with AC and it will be over before your second cocktail comes around
You have a great grasp of the situation, but in the Air Force, Russia proved that if you put a big enough jet on it, you can make a brick fly!
That is true. All that incoming air is just to produce the cushion for the capsule and the rest will compress and blow out like a jet engine push
@@aldejesus7195thanks, that helps visualize things better. It's going to be cool what solution they come up with for the vacuum tunnel, because I'd imagine one with sections that can self seal would be optimal so they can keep a international connection without a single portion blocking traffic. Which shows that you should have 2 or more parallel that have the ability to switch so if one portion is cleared the tunnels arnt down. Sections would have their own emergency exit/maintenance hatches, maybe some pre trained 3rd party company close by to the hatches could do fast and reliable repairs. Would take a while in more rural places, but a family of farmers could make a little extra if all they have to do is run some diagnostics with a computer, and tell them if they can fix it or if it requires being repressured and some heavier weaponry.
@@aldejesus7195 The hyperloop is supposed to be at only 0.015 psi or 100 pascals. A fan running in front of the pod, would not generate enough pressure to lift the vehicle. That pressure is about 1/6 the atmospheric pressure on Mars. The helicopter which was only 4 pounds and the rotor had to spin 2800 rpm in order to fly in 1/3 the gravity of Earth.
If the hyperloop is ever built (which is still doubtful) it would either use wheels or magnetic levitation. Both of which are used in high speed trains.
Hi
Theres 1 thing u forgot to mention about the heat testing ( which i dont know if that will affect it ) , THE DESERT IS VERY DRY
Traffic in and around Austin is bad and will only get worse. TXDOT does not have the resources to expand and improve the roads to keep up with the massive increase in the population of Central Texas. We need alternatives to what exists today.
Traffic jams between San Antonio and Austin are always a nightmare and it can take 3 hours sometimes to travel those 80 miles. San Antonio's Mayor drives a Tesla so he's not anti-Elon but the city's political culture is hostile to mass transit so he has to tread carefully.
80 miles. Nope. I'd get a closer job or move.
It’s would take 2-3 hour to drive 80 miles an any city
@@JohnDoe-vf3qo I drive between San Antonio and Austin every week. During rush hour, the time will push a bit past 2hrs so I usually take a back country route that is a little longer but is consistently 1hr 40min long... if there is not traffic (like late at night then the IH-35 path takes 1:30-1:35
How is flooding mitigated?
Hello love your videos, great information! I’m a new videographer and I’m was wondering we’re do you get all your Awesome graphics and video clips and what software do you use to edit them ! I would greatly appreciate any feedback .
Central Texas is riddled with cave systems.
When building a simple 500 foot "tunnel" during a recent upgrade to MoPc (highway 1) they were shut down for a month while a cave they found was researched and the various insects and other critters cataloged. If any were endangered, the Feds would have shut it down completely.
Don’t worry, Elon is a scam artist and fortunately this will nvr amount to anything

Long time ago, paper manufacturing plants used compressed air to move paper rolls on modified wood skids inside warehouse.
As an alternative to trucking, Hyperloop could be used also to move goods.
How are the paper rolls moved now? Did the mills quit the compressed air mechanism because it was successful, or because a better solution was found?
@@ReachOutToWilliam
The practice was successful and well accepted. I left the industry in late 70's and don't know its status.
Search "compressed air to move paper roll"
please tell me why you haveevicted workers in NC the same ground you bought
Dude
Traffic is SO BAD on I35 the last time I drove to San Antonio it was over 2 1/2 hours to get there
He'd probably cut travel time in half by just boring the tunnel, and putting a traditional electric train in there. Texas subway y'all! 😁 (Do they already have subways in Texas?)
Yeah, just like some of us have been waiting for Starlink for almost 3 years! All hype!
IMO the type of tunnel that is currently in use in Vegas is much more exciting than this flashy hyperloop thingy. Just like mass-produced Model Y's with insane margins are more exciting than Model S Plaids that will never sell a lot.
What's exciting about the tunnel in vegas?
Yes!
Is there anyway that the muck left over from the Boring process be use to refine lithium? Then make the bricks for building material.
There isn’t any lithium in Texas.
But why? How much traffic there is between Austin and San Antonio? Do the economics of the project make sense at all? Maybe it would make sense between Dallas and Houston.
Hyperloop becomes more and more Swissmetro (which was 40 years ahead)
Way better choice than California. I was blown away when they wanted to put a high speed train in an earthquake state. Crazy
600mph is 27s of 1G acceleration, but they would likely be slower for comfort
Plus 27 seconds of 1G deceleration.
I want to keep all the Amtrak trains all year and every year. 😢
Damn Jessie. Working hard
austin to S.a. is a 45 min drive max. i drove it every day for 2 years
Finally. The central states should get together and creat a Hyperloop that runs south To north then branches east and west.
screwed up to think the biggest polluting areas of earth are getting hyperloops first.... and as for a cheaper tunnel, he made a error, a vacuum is excessive, just push the "pods" down the pipes under pressure, allot cheaper then sustaining a vacuum, second, 3d print it out of plastic bottles with hollow chambers that can be held under vacuum to lower noise. it also allows for a suspended pipes for lower install and service costs.
What about Laredo Texas
without finishing the video, off the top of my head, 6 billion dollars would have to be quantified in terms of miles per gallon save per vehicle, per wattage used per distance for each vehicle transport. That's looking at energy savings, which i'm' sure over a long enough period factors in at some point.
The issue with traffic wait time, comes down to needing to quantify how many cars make that same trip a day, if that can be measured somehow. Then factoring what roads are freed up because of the hyper loop each day.
Seems like a lot of cars per road per time surveying. If Musk doesn't have all that surveying, it would be hard to display to the public, the government, and car owning tax payers, exactly how traffic time would be improved.
I a big fan of his work with Tesla, SpaceX/Starlink, and his general philosophy in his business models. I just haven't heard enough information that convinces me that this hyper loop would improve enough traffic times, without building, all at the same time, many loops, across many destinations. If I were on his company board or a advisor of some sort, I would continue R&D and Marketing to keep the idea progressing, but I would wait until Tesla and SpaceX reach the nexus point where he can afford to do something along the lines of 20 or 30 hyper loop projects in a ten year sprint. Then each decade of graduates will truly benefit from the precision in a exponential curve.
I believe his ability to afford something like that is inevitable, so expect to see this company carry out its goals.
I drive this most everyday and the problem is really no demand to go to Downtown San Antonio From Downtown AUSTIN!
Being someone from Texas I can attest the speed limit is 80 on a wet day
Well done, I’m here for the first time.
Downtown to Downtown, Austin is no more than 80 miles from San Antonio, this is not a reasonable distance to get up to speed, drive 600 miles per hour, then decelerate to stop.
I have to take issue as far as speed. Yes we drive fast here and the hyper loop is faster. But once you get to where your going you have to get an Uber or a taxi to get to the place you want to be. Then you mare stuck in traffic trying to get away from the station in down town. Or if it's outside of down town then you are stuck in traffic trying to get to down town. But it sure sound better then the high speed rail that no one wants down here.
Skytran was originally designed to cost less than $1M per mile. Yet existing interests have kept development extremely slow. Thus none have been built for public use.
Valido
Always seeking to progress human life. Elon is a brilliant man
Um, no. Not if this is your measuring stick. This is all about getting tech in place to bore holes in Mars and eventually to try to provide survivable environments for humans in places that will be 165 degrees F. all summer, 135 degrees F. at night. Of course, the holes will eventually heat up and the insulating qualities of the soil which initially keep you cool, will keep the heat of human occupation from wicking away, turning the tunnels into ovens. Oh well.
@@kimweaver1252 cope!
@@antixocialman Sure thing. You go cope with your stupidity, as that is a meaningless post.
And Trump is a great man.
Seek out therapy!!
Elon is a vapourware salesman, and Drumf is a criminal grifter.
Have the day you deserve.
Maintaining high vacuum in a tube is very difficult and very costly, underground tunnels are even harder because need a lot of pumping stations along the lines.
What exactly are Austin's transportation priorities? (And not the mayor's priorities - the actual priorities for Austin.)HicksDoes anyone know?
Interesting how similar it looks to what is used to bore into granite to create underground tunnels by TPTB, hum!!
Elon needs to get this going to open up more economic opportunities
We do not need this at all
Oh my god if you actually believe this you're actually special needs. Reevaluate your room temperature IQ, please. You're clearly re-ta-rd-ed.
The only issue for me is claustrophobia....need to have the feel and ability that we can escape if the shit turns off......I wanna get out the car and be able to take an elevator to the surface within reasonable amount of time.(quickly)
Boring has had some success. I don't think Musk knows what he doesn't know about tunnel boring. True, the limestone in the I-35 corridor is stable and pretty uniform but, there is potential for bumping in to massive aquifers.
Borring tunnel using maglev would be cool.
Let’s go Tesla I’m a proud employee 💪🏾⚡️
Texas is an extremely large state and is very expensive to travel with crude transportation!
I’m glad someone is able to overcome this extreme job and trust he will succeed!
You're just another Muskrat duped by Elon. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The fossil fuel industry will never allow this. Their front groups and lobbyists will attack this incessantly. Take a look at how many cars routinely drive this corridor. Consider the ten's of millions of gallons of petroleum burned every year. Way too much revenue to let slip away. The oil companies will never allow HyperLoop to take this away. This is especially true as it becomes even more crowded and the gallons wasted increases.
@@Tron-Jockey oil companies strangle hold is lessened by the day. Nobody wants oil anymore.....wake up. It's not healthy and not sustainable. Oil companies understand the social shift and will invest in this new tech and can adapt or go the way of blockbuster
Got better uses for Boring tunnels.
I think that the Boring Company tunnels should be for the Hyperloop system , the futuristic replacement for subways/metros
Not just one-lane tunnes that only teslas can enter
I want zero emission trains. 😢
Hello from Alaska. Can’t imagine EVs doing well in our sub zero temperatures let alone holding a charge long enough to get us to our favorite fishing spots. Are you affiliated with Tesla, or just a you tuber sharing your content on Tesla?

Hi Shipj0. No need to imagine it. There are quite a few Teslas doing quite well here in the Last Frontier. Our state's first Supercharger station opened just outside Soldotna earlier this year, about 12 miles from where I live. It is ideally situated for many thousands of Alaskans around Anchorage to get to their favorite fishing spots on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, as well as easily making the Homer round trip, another favorite fish harvesting venue for the city folk.
Tesla also installed a bunch of Megapacks to stabilize the HEA power grid and respond to peak demand periods.
I bet on Elon, invest in the stock, have owned 6 Teslas and plan to base both my Model Y and my future Cybertruck here. Both will be trailer hitch equipped for towing boats, etc. on outdoor adventures.
Evs heat their batteries
@@talesofalaska3623 Hey there, thanks. we live in Chugiak they just installed six Tesla chargers up at the Shell station. I did see an electric Hummer traveling up the haul road towing a trailer with an Alyeska charger station on it. Probably made for Alyeska but they put their logo on it but I don’t really know, maybe Alyeska is building chargers too. I haven’t seen any EVs Around our area or in the valley but that doesn’t mean they aren’t here. Could you get from Fairbanks to Homer on one charge? Also do you know if this you tube channel is affiliated with Tesla? I had a great idea that I wanted to make sure Elon would read😀 Or someone in the company that does some thing with production. I do own Tesla stock by the way. Do you think the EVs will tow trailers with 4 -4 WHEELERS?
The fastest I have seen the hyper loop go is 35 miles an hour. My moped goes faster than that
We are already in the big crash, Inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt, the FED will have to pull all the stops. The unfortunate issue is that other markets are being decimated. If you want to stay green, you have to rely on a lot of diversification. Currently up 14% and being careful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
You are right! I diversified my $400K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $1.2m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds during this red season.
My advisor is *"TERESA JENSEN WHITE".* In terms of portfolio diversity, she's a genius. You can glance her name up on the internet and verify her yourself. she has years of financial market experience.
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits learning and investing with her for a few months now.
TERESA JENSEN WHITE is one of the best mentor/trader I have ever worked with in the past few years, she knows how best to deal with whatever market situation.
Thanks so much I was able to find her page and I already leave her a message.
Yeehaw😎
There's a physicist on you tube, Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder, who made a video about why the Hyperloop is not possible. She seems to make sense, but I'm not qualified to say.
Solar roof pls
Giản dị, thật thà , điều mà anh chị đã làm được trong lòng tất cả mọi người. Thật sự tôn trọng và ngưỡng mộ 2 anh chị. 2 anh chị luôn giữ cái cảm xúc này luôn nhennnnn 💋💋❤️❤️❤️
When the power fails to the hyperloop, and it will at some time, people are stuck in an underground tunnel with no way out. Unlike trains and planes there are no windows to look out of.
💕🇺🇸✍🏼 You’re the bestest
I want to keep all the Amtrak all year and every year. 😢
Time to buy Tesla shares
Hottest and driest place on earth is Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California; not Dubai.
I want to keep all the trains all year and every year. 😢
The Boring Company should lobby water preservation and irrigation distribution in California eliminating the canals that evaporates a huge amount of water into the atmosphere…
Putting all the canals into tunnels would cost too much money. Much easier to cover them up with solar panels and create a lot of electricity in the process....recently saw a video about people wanting to do exactly that.
California needs to figure out how to do desalination right and top stealing water from other states.
California could quickly, safely and easily solve their water and power problems with nuclear powered desalinization on the coast. But, there's that choosing real science thing.
@@chrisb9319 saw that too but that is a beta test….todays water tunnel infrastructure is so dilapidated that I can see the boring company aiding a lot places…including agriculture which needs it a lot…yes cost up front but once it’s built…got to prioritize sections first…
@@chrisb9319 If you had a 20 ft wide canal covered with solar cells you would need *1,200 miles* to generate the same amount of power as one 2,000 megawatt nuclear power plant. And that's only when it's daylight and not cloudy. And just think of the environmental impact to fabricating that amount of photovoltaic cells.
The FOUNDING concept of "Hyperloop." (& the one Elon spoke of) was a craft the used WIND propulsion, for both levitation and cruise path. But NOT necessarily a vacc realm. Today magnets can multi utilize both the fan anti-friction & levitating motion in one. Instead of the attempted -Virgin- concept.
They should've (what I'll nickname), 🙌 *Turbine•Loop* tunnel.- Air parallel flowing with the cart, to *boost anti-friction* motion, + cart fans and *natural LARGE infinate magnet* lev in the carts. Over natural metal tracks. in a WIDER tunnel, with *NO vacuum extreme infastructer* cost, and *any* lenght/skin shape carts.
Running by stationary nuculear burrowed power 🔋 cores and *indigent recharge rail beams strip. Also GPS autonomous traffic beacon strip circuit reception* features. Inside *or outside* of a tunnel at docking/pickup/tag, speed zones. I.e. the stations would run by a valve swap stationary turbine flow, granting appox up to 300mph wind. Thus a moving environment stacked with engines on the cart wind flow parallel If the cart does ~500pmh, that = 700mph total cruising in closed tunnels.
No one bothers to ask what the diameter of the hyperloop tunnel would be
13 feet
What happened to that money hyper loop for California?
Go Buckeyes! O-H!
Zero emission trains. 😢
I wonder if they dig deep enough they will find remnants of a prior civilization, or a current reptile people one. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but w all that digging, something has to be discovered.
If we haven't tried mass high speed rail projects in the U.S. yet why would anyone want to roll the "miles long vacuum chamber" dice?
It is not a lot unlike flying. If a jetliner loses pressurization your in the same hurt bag.
@@danharold3087 significantly worse in a vacuum chamber. If the hyperloop fails, the vehicle losing pressure isn't the immediate threat, it's the Shockwave of atmospheric pressure now traveling outward from the point of failure at the speed of sound lol
@@shuarose89 Last I checked the hyperloop operated with a atmosphere equal to 100K feet. Not a full vacuum.
Not sure why you feel simple problems are unsolvable. Simply place a series of valves along the tube that open should the tube fail.
The hyperloop idea has far more difficult problems to solve. If this was easy Elon would not be interested in it.
Why underground is better and cheaper, materials. Of course having to build a bridge to hold a H-loop would cost a lot!!
Elon puts a worm in the ground and gets material from it!
Don't Matter How Far, Install Hyperloop,Houston To Dallas Is Already In Effect!
I just want to see a 5 mile long 1/10 size working scale model. Prove it in small scale first. Obviously the Las Vegas project has not panned out for speed or vacuum, etc.
Virgin Hyperloop had a prototype and it got up to like 127mph or something. That company just recently fired half its staff to focus on cargo because transporting humans in a vacuum tube can be hazardous to their lives. The Hyperloop is almost impossible to make work.
@@woodworking406 The real answer to transportation needs is teleportation, not vacuum trains.
we could use a tunnel from the mississippi river to the colorado river, Stop the flooding and end the drought.
@@ReachOutToWilliam welcome to the star trek generation. Teleportation is probably easier than the hyperloop. 🤣
How is it possible that Maglev can cost 250 mln per mile, but Maglev+longest vaccum tube evere - will cost 121 mln per mile?
Just build fast speed rail!
