Meanwhile in the US
I absolutely love how this is a complete death trap. If anything goes wrong, you are completely trapped in your vehicle. There’s nowhere to go, you can’t even open the door.
As someone else said, legit nightmare fuel. Like, god of it flooded… Just fucking god damn. Imagine being in you car and all of a sudden you start seeing water coming from behind you down the tunnel at ever increasing amounts. People start trying to back up but can’t. Others get out and start trying to walk against the current to get out of the tunnel. You start seeing the cars down the row lifting and/or getting submerged.
Yup, and also Teslas have a habit of setting themselves on fire. Fire in a tunnel is pretty dangerous all by itself, but now you’re also trapped.
Not to mention that they’d be lithium fires. Those things are impossible to extinguish because they’re self fueling. If you have one outside a tunnel, you usually just cover it with sand (if it’s small enough) to absorb the energy, and wait until all the fuel is gone. There’s nothing you can do to stop it. On top of that, the fumes released by such a fire are toxic, so everyone would be dead for sure if one of those Teslas decided to catch on fire (which would definitely eventually happen, Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries are known to be explosive, especially if there’s any manufacturing defect)
Yup, it’s basically only a matter of time until there’s a huge disaster and a bunch of single digit millionaires choke to death in their Teslas.
Omg why are you right 😂😂😂
Just goes to show the level of care for human safety that went into forcing through this thing.
Damn, the death trap tunnels don’t even have the gamer RGB lights anymore? What a waste.
Nightmare fuel
One more lane bro, just one more lane
That wouldn’t fully solve it. You’d want two more lanes. One for return traffic, and one for emergency vehicles, as well as a place for people to escape (i.e. a sidewalk). Essentially, you end up with a street inside a tunnel, which is obviously really stupid.
Handy for driving under water, but not as a replacement for the roads that already have those features and already don’t work.
I was just referring to the classic joke about highway expansion, where “One more lane” is always promised to fix all the problems of congestion and traffic. What you said does make realistic sense though.
No way this is real. Is this an artist’s rendition? Maybe CGI?
That literally a picture of ppl in traffic in Musk’s Hyperloop tunnel thing in CA.
Not pretty enough

The China Bad Times
My search engine doesn’t show anything for that term. Is it a real thing?

Thanks!
yes, yes, please come to the china bad times, we are very tankie :)
🤣
China will win
China has already won in my opinion, the west is like a chicken running with its head cut off at this point.
Ohhhh I like this one. The only problem is that chicken also has nukes and you never know of during it’s fumbling it’s gonna step on the big red button.
Yeah basically…

It seems Maglev Mike has taken his relationship off the rails again
So it’s a hyperloop?
I mean, I’m still hopeful and they do have a good track record, but, you know, ten times bitten, eleventh time shy.
Maglev trains existed long before Musk’s scams.
JNR conducted the first full-scale maglev test in 1972.
Hyperloop is maglev in a low pressure tube, which is also what this test was.
