@Erdayastronaut @martinengwicht @realkrauswife @Tesla The guides are basically just a wheel, a shock absorber & a solenoid. Costs a few hundred dollars in volume.

@MattRemp Yeah, it would allow many streets to become parks and walking areas. Less concrete, more trees.

@martinengwicht @realkrauswife Probably only need three types: straight ramp, spiral ramp & elevator. Latter only for tight spaces.

@ElSchumi @FredericLambert @boringcompany Passive lateral safety is required by regulators & I think they’re right. Might be able to build this into the tunnel wall though. So long as the vehicle is prevented by physics from rolling or jackknifing, there is probably a good safety argument.

@FredericLambert @boringcompany You’re right. We did have a sim ready, but it was confusing, so I didn’t include it. We’re working on one that makes things clear.

@realkrauswife I know that area well. Best would be to add ramps into the tunnel system from the basement levels of the parking lots surrounding 3rd St.

If all vehicles were densely seated buses, throughput in excess of 100,000 people per hour per lane is possible, but better to offer a range of vehicles & let people decide what makes them happy

A variety of vehicles, like normal roads, from a small car to a densely seated bus. Must be seated & belted for high speed safety.

Next step for @BoringCompany Loop is demonstrating high throughput at high speed. Target is 4000 vehicles/hour at 155mph (250km/h).

The demo ride takes you in *same* car on road, down elevator, zips through tunnel using guide wheels, up elevator at destination & then drives on normal roads back to start

@flaneur @boringcompany Actually way more capacity, way faster & way more convenient. Subways are fine, but it’s time to upgrade to something better.

@business Incorrect. “Chairman” is an honorific, not executive role, which means it’s not needed to run Tesla. Will retire that title at Tesla in 3 years. 60 Mins edited out end of my sentence, where I said I could do whatever I want. They cut “provided I have the support of shareholders”.
