their "innovation" is making tunnels only big enough for a tesla instead of a train. So you save on boring cost by trading off throughput/operations cost...

If you are making a tunnel through a mountain to transport individuals, the cost of the vehicles is immaterial relative to the cost of the tunnel. A tunnel that can carry 700 people an hour is mostly worthless, even if it was cheaper than a tunnel that can carry many trains per hour.

Indeed. The Las Vegas tunnel is hilariously useless.

It genuinely seems closer in capacity to some theme park novelty train for kids than any kind of mass transit. It does have RGB gamer lighting though, I suppose
