What about TBC and the Las Vegas plans? It's not a Hyperloop as originally explained but uses the name - and seems to be par for the course in terms of Elon proposing products that aren't exactly delivered the way they were marketed.

They have very little in common besides the name and the fact that they both are transit systems involving tubes. Hyperloop's main goal was to provide fast intercity transit, TBC's goal is to provide convenient intracity transit

By that distinction, I'm not sure why VHL is called "Hyperloop" either - it is using maglev AFAIK.

have you seen the size of that Vegas tunnel?

Now google Tesla's battery fire and imagine it happens inside that tunnel.

Those tunnels are death traps.

TBC works on Loop systems, not Hyperloops.
