I believe that transportation system that provide point to point non-stop transport with no waiting is called a Taxi. It's inefficient and labor intensive like the Vegas loop until it's autonomous.

Come to think of it, large cities with subway systems like New York City would benefit big time with a retrofit using existing tunnels, replacing heavy and inefficient trains with Tesla carriers/ platoons, off ramping once in a while at some stations to let long distance vehicles zoom faster to their destinations.
Of course not going to happen anytime soon, inertia and politics (the MTA and NY NJ Port Authority) are such boondoggles for politicians, with loads of taxpayer money to distribute)
Maybe you have never been to Vegas, but there is often a wait, that can be long, to get a Taxi, and they stop at lots of traffic lights. So not non-stop.

Long story ~ got a nail in drivers side rear of X. Lost lunch at Costco buying four new treads. They would not realign the car. Contacted Tesla service for alignment. Had an appointment right away. Drove to Fife, Washington this morning instead of Seattle, Washington. I assumed since it was Fife, I had assumed it was some outfit contracted to do the alignment. To my total amazement, this was a ground up new Tesla delivery and service location. Even the toilets were new, and flushable. I had to ask when they opened ~ Monday 30May2022. I have been accustomed to grease monkey pits for fossil fuel vehicles forever (Early sixties). Not one pit anywhere! There were roughly fifteen car lifts. The next bay over will be where Xena can get a SPA day. Though, we might stay local.
I think today’s stock rise was solid, based on my pleasurable alignment experience. Yes, my wheels are suffering from some rash.
Cheers

Tesla AI Day pushed to Sept 30, as we may have an Optimus prototype working by then.
The big difference between surface streets and Boring tunnels -> tunnels don’t need to deal with pedestrian, cross traffic, buildings, or any other surface features.Maybe you have never been to Vegas, but there is often a wait, that can be long, to get a Taxi, and they stop at lots of traffic lights. So not non-stop.
Even if the only difference were moving all traffic to tunnels it would be vastly more efficient and safe. (Assuming all electric vehicles).

It's a LOT worse than that: it is the Financial industry itself is dead set against Tesla, has been forever, as they are the majority investors in the oil & gas industry, and are the most at risk of losing their short term revenues from all these legacy established companies.

This explains why our government agencies (tools of the financial juggernauts who control basically everything in the US, including of course Wall St, the Fed -which is a private company (remember 1913 Jekyll Island ), and our POTUS etc - which is why the anti Tesla (and now especially w/ Twitter) oppo is fierce

That’s true. I was an early adopter and a shareholder. However, that’s just those investors who made money from the early days or mid to late mid period. Going forward, the outlook for TSLA or Tesla as a company is uncertain. First mover advantage is not the only thing you can hang on to. Many...

My front wheel started to make some squeaking noise 1 month ago when accelerating at low speed. I booked a service on the app. My appointment was yesterday, they had no car so they gave me $130 of Uber credits resetting daily.
Yesterday, had to go pick up some clothes for the kids, Uber ride cost $55 on the way in RAV4 hybrid and $60 on the way back in Chevy Volt with 20 min waiting time for the Uber to come on the way back at 10PM. A woman on the street asked me if I needed help since I was standing outside on the pick up location.
This morning I went to work downtown and the Uber green cancelled 3 times before getting finally a ride for $25. Got a message from my app that my Model Y was ready or pick up at 2PM. When I finished at work I booked a Uber and there was no Uber green and UberX cancelled 2 times so I booked a Uber Premium and got charged a whopping $90 for the 10km ride from downtown Montreal to the Tesla Ferrier store in rush hour traffic.
I have to apologize to everyone here for obliterating $230 of profit for Q2 earnings having raped the Uber credits Tesla gave to me. I am deeply sorry and next time I will take my bicycle and save myself some terrible traffic.
The good news is that I managed to review and complete 3 reports on my laptop being chauffeured in the Uber. Almost vomited the way the Volt driver drive and swirled in the lanes.
The service at the Tesla store was incredible. Never had any negative experience. Even emptied their coffee machine and the 70% cocoa chocolates while on a Google meet conference at the Tesla store. People there are just nice and happy to work at Tesla. What a great company with great employees. Couldn’t help myself and went to speak to the rep who was not busy and placed a reservation for another Cybertruck.
I am probably in a stock price euphoria.
PS.: I was hoping to get a Model 3 or Model Y with Uber Green however I had a RAV4 hybrid and Volt clearly with no battery charge left. At least you feel better paying a surcharge of $0.50 for absolutely nothing.
I wonder if Tesla will make robotaxis available on the Uber app, there seems to be a good thing going on between the two Silicon Valley startups

CNBC is just hilarious. Breaking news from 2017......
If they don't have a car for you, tell them you want a rental. They will generally do this for you if you ask. Never settle for the Uber credits because ugh.My front wheel started to make some squeaking noise 1 month ago when accelerating at low speed.

Prototype? I heard those were easy!
This has my attention… I thought it would be years away from a decent prototype. Remains to be seen if and how decent, but that would be really impressive.
