1\ So I see @elonmusk has downgraded the "Hyperloop" to a mere tunnel.

2\ How will cars travelling through these tunnels be disgorged?

The Lincoln Tunnel moves at 35mph, yet its catchment area blights a 20 square block area above ground

As usual, @elonmusk has fixated on the hokey sci-fi aspects of a problem, and neglected the hard parts.
3\ Now that it's a mere tunnel (no skates or sleds), it will move at normal traffic speeds. If someone gets a flat, or runs out of gas, or drunkenly crashes, everyone behind them has to remain safe. Say good bye to 150mph, say hello to 35mph.
4\ Finally, the tunnel @elonmusk built is undersized and unsafe. It'll need to have at least another lane next to it for emergencies, as well as exits above. Say, Mr. Engineer, what happens to cross sectional area when diameter is doubled?

5\5 Kudos to the world for only taking two years to realize that @boringcompany is selling vapourware.

How much longer before they realize $TSLA is no different?
