Why not use bus-size vehicles? Assuming the same speed and following distance, moving from 16 to 80 passengers would increase system capacity by 5x, meaning four stations could serve 100% of Dodger Stadium capacity (vs 20).
This part of their plan never made sense to me.
- Iv 8y ago> The electric skates are based around the Tesla Model X platform and are propelled by multiple electric motors. I guess they needed to demonstrate that they have a working tech in-house for this first iteration. I am sure that if it is successful, they can make plans to improve the skates' capacity but it makes sense that they make minimal commitments while Tesla doesn't have a larger model.
- schiffern 8y agoSo this is best understood as a breadboard for some later, Tesla Semi-derived system? Interesting take.
- thawab 8y agoThe tickets are $1 per person. I think the boring company wants a real implementation, they are not looking for profits out of this. Less people/ smaller cars are better to manage and work with.
- notatoad 8y agoi imagine part of the plan is to purposely under-size this for the sake of being able to brag about operating at full capacity.
