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

That will be a central hub for for a trains that serve several million people out of the city. Can't do that with teslas as the further away the more power they will waste.

Jesus. Look at how much land is needed.
1
How many people does that transport?

Probably the same as the number of cars in this single building that takes up little land space (or can build a parking garage underground)
