That was a fun read 😀

All the money in the world and elon came up with the dumber idea to replace a train. What a waste of fucking space.

Are these cars in the loop owned by their drivers? Are people actually buying Teslas just to drive them in subterranean circles?

Yeah great article. What a stupid investment that concept is.

That sounds like a death trap. How is this thing insured?

Citynerd made a video about it last year, it's basically the same experience as the one in the article

I thought it was some kind of magical train, not a tunnel for cars.

showing my phone to the driver.

And you need a driver? I thought those were magical cars driving themselves. God...

You know what america should do? Give this guy all of your pension funds.

I agree, the "loop" is asinine and a complete waste of resources. But I cannot support an author that deliberately misrepresents facts, particularly when there is no need to do so.

The Las Vegas metro area population is ~2.4 million people. So the author misrepresents population this "serves" by roughly a factor of four. And the 110,000 visitors also is a significant underestimate - the metro area has over 150k hotel rooms, they tend to have at least 90% occupied throughout the year - and with friends and family often splitting rooms, it's not uncommon to have upward of a million 'guests' in town at a time (New Year's, Super Bowl, BTS visiting, Etc.)

Author lost all credibility with me with this pointless obfuscation of the truth that was effectively irrelevant from the problem with the loop anyway.
