It isn't the fact that it is a "Cheap people mover", it is the fact that it is a massively scaled down, hyped-up, likely unsafe, inefficient, non-innovative, labor intensive ludicrous pretend sci-fi "solution".

It's scaled down because the project doesn't need subway capacity. It's a people mover. You don't build a subway for a convention center much like you don't need a sledge hammer to crack an egg. Do you get it now?

No---it was marketed as some massively innovative concept, yet his tunnels are as expensive as traditional tunnels, his solution is highly labor intensive, and the ultimate capacity is worse than a subway, which would suit LVs needs way better. Do you get it now?

No, Vegas ordered a scaled down version. It's in the contracts.
"as expensive as traditional tunnels"
haha, no. show me the numbers. actually let me do that for you.

This is a nonsense comparison---I said TUNNELS, not mass transit systems. The actual tunnels the boring company are digging are not cheaper, they are in fact about the same price as traditional tunnels. Musk has claimed he will make them "100 times cheaper", that's a flat out lie

What "traditional tunnels" are you talking about? Where's your numbers? You're making accusations without any evidence to back anything up. Boring Company tunnels take $10 million/mile to dig. Rest of the money is spent on building stations.

This is really stupid---you obviously aren't an engineer. The per mile distance is not the only thing that matters, what about diameter? In fact, Musk's tunnels are actually very narrow. If you adjust for the diameter they aren't cheaper.

you're going to believe a guy who builds his channel around obsessing about elon?

Yeah, okay so basically not address anything he says in the video---here, I will make pretty graphics for you since you can't be bothered to actually listen to real arguments. Per mile costs depend mostly on diameter, Musk's tunnels are tiny, therefore cheap---not innovative.

you do know that the London Underground northern line has even smaller diameter tunnels, right?
Their two mile extension is going to cost £1.1bn
LOL immediately you're debunked

Just the boring?
