So if it's an Elon hater, it's valid.
If it's an Elon fanboy, it's invalid.
Very objective, right?
YOU STILL HAVENT POSTED A "TRADITIONAL TUNNEL" COST
Conversation
Again I HAVE---you are just too brain dead to realize that the cost depends on many factors. There isn't ONE COST. It depends on diameter, what you are tunneling through, etc. This graph is probably the best way to understand tunnel cost.

Just moving the goal posts---the same applies everywhere. You cited a number that didn't even take into account diameter. Obviously you aren't an engineer or care about these topics seriously. It is just Elon fanboyism for you.

not moving goal posts. if you put elon's tunnel size (12.5) on that graph, it's literally still cheaper!
Thanks for proving my point

The estimated minimum cost for 12 m^2 is about a million dollars according to that chart. His tunnel is entirely comparable to the average cost to build a tunnel like that. The y-axis is in cost per METER, so yeah NICE ONE.

And if you can push 57k people per hour FOR A CHEAPER TUNNEL ($0 TAX DOLLARS), THEN YOU GOT A CHEAPER SUBWAY
why is this so hard for you to figure out

Except it obviously isn't going to push 57k people per hour---and it isn't ever going to be 10 million/mile for his company to tunnel ANYWHERE. You just believe all of his given figures and ignore when they inevitably change.

excuse me, not CEO, Steve Davis, the president of Boring Company (not Elon)

The fact that you don't believe it's going to push 57k people per hour means that if it does, you'll have to admit there's something innovative and revolutionary going on here.
No I won't---because if it does (which is won't) it will still be less than if they had just built more freeways and relied on ubers. A better comparison than rail (which is far safer than Teslas), is a highway---this system is massively more expensive than if they just built HWs
