I thought the dream was SF / LA to NYC, how does that work with that map?

  No. At least in the original plan[0] presented by Elon Musk, he indicated that anything longer than about 900 miles would be better served by supersonic air travel, which wouldn't require a whole new infrastructure. But for closer city pairs, you'd spend so much time not at cruising altitude/speed that the hyperloop wins. [0] - https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/hyperloop https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/hyperloop

    "supersonic air travel" is really not going to happen unless NASA's sonic boom mitigation actually works.
