An estimated $4 to $20 billion in value, what is he thinking?

            It was a capacity number set by LVCVA (the customer), but yeah. Not much else they can do yet since it’s a small system and events that take over the entire convention center are intermittent.

      Is it better than a light rail system, or would that not help sell enough products from a company owned by Musk?

        At least provide a comment in good faith instead of sarcastic bullshit, this isn’t Reddit.

        It’s definitely less than that. The advantages will be when you’re able to get in a vehicle and input your destination and it can go straight there without a single other stop. In theory at least. I’m not saying it’s genius but it’s an interesting concept and I’m curious to see if it works when scaled.

          Given the short distance it goes and the fact that it has human drivers currently…I’m doubtful it’s going to scale at all. In its current iteration, a small train would have been better in just about every way. I wouldn’t praise it for what it will be, praise it for what it is, because Elon Musk loves to promise the moon and stars and not deliver on those promises.

      Just trying to hold people accountable for their bullshit. Go fuck yourselves.

      If I recall correctly, you tried to “hold me accountable” by claiming I was slandering him and coming up with lies, when in fact none of what I said was even a lie. In fact, you even said yourself that it gets backed up “sometimes,” which is what I mean by traffic jams.

      It sounds to me like you need to learn what the word slander, actually means. Also, I reported this because it’s rude as hell.
