The Boring Company event puts the Tesla Model X under L.A.

Elon eats another humble pie on the digging project. The silly skateboard idea was thrown away by boring company people. Shows us how much thought ELon puts to his ridiculous ideas before throwing those out at his fanboys to munch on.

I guess, Elon thinks rest of the human species digging tunnels and major subways for centuries under London, Tokyo, New York and other cities are collectively so dumb that he will beat their costs by 15x just with his simulation of silly ideas. LOL. Who would've thunk, an used sewer line digger was the answer humans have been looking for.
I wish, he borrows more money on his margin and dumps it all in this pit.
Oh, did I mentioned, it reached a whoppign 53 mph top speed driving through the sewer tunnel?

Oh, btw. Here is the original "visions" he had. Or could be he just stole some intern's idea and showcased it as his own.

Some gems from the electrek article on this:

Wait, but what about those TSLA pimps on Wall St who had assigned few billions for all the gazillion electric pods Tesla was goign to sell in a few years?
Tracking wheels is just stealing ideas from already existing projects. Nothing to see here. Move along?

So no one, not even the Tesla bulls, are cheering this party. Elon looks fat and drunk in the video.
I think, he also sounds confused making up those false (ok "aspirational") claims (ok, "guesses) of exponential (again) cost savings and speed increases. He looks wary of the DOJ and SEC breathing on his shoulders.

But he says, the cars have to drive at 150 mph. And shows a Tesla X. Well, that car will go into limp mode within a couple of minutes at those speeds

 

Really funny video!
