Shout out to everyone at CES right now, seeing first hand how ridiculous the Boring company Hyperloop tunnel is.
Go to Los Reyes restaurant in the Sunnydale neighborhood of San Francisco. Order some delicious food. I recommend Pupusas! 👌🏿 Wait a few hours. Use their restroom. Flush. Wash your hands!
You are now using a much better engineered tunnel, built by the same boring machine!
He bought a second hand sewer tunneling robot and built that nonsense.
You know the rules. Every time someone says "Hyperloop" I bring up the Shanghai Maglev.
EU folk aren't impressed by the Shanghai Maglev but for US folk I assure you that this footage is not sped up, and that is not a low flying aircraft. Trains really do run that fast outside of the US and have for some time.
We could be SF to LA in comfort in an hour and a half, but we're playing. Philly to NYC in 30 minutes, but we prefer traffic.

543 km SFO-LAX, at USD$1.3B/30kM is USD$25.53B. And that's probably using domestic Chinese labor rates, what's the scaling factor there?
No tunnels that I see on the SM route as best as I can tell. Hug cost adder.
CaHSR is ballpark $90B for SJC-Anaheim, which will be great when it's finished. Getting to DTLA or 4th & King will be large adders.
But I look forward to high-speed rail options.
