  Clearly different tunnel implementations are appropriate for different situations. If you're going from LA to Las Vegas you'll do it differently than if you need to go a dozen city blocks. The practicality of the hyperloop has by now been demonstrated in various places. What's being demonstrated here is the entrance and exit technologies that go with the hyperloop. SpaceX investors take note.

    TBC is not building hyperloop. There is no vaccuum tunnel with maglev/air-cushion propulsion. This is just a tunnel. Not even the planned sled from before. A tunnel for just Teslas.

    Where did you get that crazy idea? Hyperloop has lost to maglev. Trains that go 372mph already exist in Japan and China. The hard part is to deploy the technology as part of the rail network. Meanwhile Hyperloop companies are just trying to fleece dumb money with fake prototypes.
