You are wrong. So very wrong.

Yep then divide cost by capacity and reliability. 👍

The tunnels will run on rubber tires and a road, rather than lines. That makes running costs much higher and less environmentally friendly. Think about road works, but in a small tunnel with a heavy vehicle passing over the same spot every few seconds.
Also all the rubber.

Also, for example, the SFCS (at the top) is over the entire life of the project and it includes much more than just the underground. It will have roughly 50million passengers a year.

The new Vegas Loop will do 57k per hour capacity. At 24/7 operation, can be up to 500 million per year capacity. Conservative number too.

Mmmm. Sat in a stinky ass small car that has had millions of people sat in. Be easy to clean too. 🤣🤣 The current one in Vegas is a shit show.

You'd be replacing tires weekly, the doors will break, the batteries need replacing (rail has centralised power, which is much more efficient and safer). Rail is a beast. These cars are not designed for this. It is a bullshit marketing scheme.

weekly tires replacement is exaggeration
subway doors break too
batteries are rated for 350k miles (1 million miles in this years new battery pack)
rails rely on grid which is not reliable

Subway doors break but are cheap to repair.
Tires will need replacing very regularly. Short trips, lots of breaking, roads will be fucked by over use.
350k is not much when used 24/7. Thats an environmental disaster. Power from same source then chemically stored. 🤮

You said weekly tire replacement. That’s an exaggeration.
Subway repairs generally need to be brought to a special loading station. Tesla cars can be mostly repaired from a mobile service doing it in the parking lot.
How much space on this parking lot is required for repairs and charging of thousands of vehicles, rather than a couple of carriages somewhere on an integrated train line.

How much land is required for a subway to do repairs and/or decommission?
More than Teslas actually
