Honestly, for 25 grand, I am considering saving up and buying this. No fuel cost for my commute = amazing, and on days when the sun doesn't shine enough, I can plug it in and charge it overnight I guess. If I get the 400 mile range though for only 29 grand... (1000 mile range is only 45 grand...) the amount of my commute in miles, and even cloudy days, won't matter so much, because I won't use that many miles before the next sunny days.
No more reliance on oil companies, no more reliance on geopolitical games, no more reliance on utilities companies... this is FREEEDOOM!!!! - HOW LONG HAVE I SOUGHT THEE???:
GO TO 1:15MINS IN!!! ^^^^
1000 MILE RANGE!!! THIS IS FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE KNEELING BEFORE THE OVERLORDS!!!!!!!!!
I had it wrong all along, the future isn't traditional EV, hydrogen, or hyperloop. This is the future, it's not a joke anymore, they are already in production of beta models. My guess is officially launch will be pushed back to 2023 though.
edit: its not in Alpha anymore as the first video shows, its in Beta now. and a lot has changed according to new videos from last week that I also linked above.
old links that are now retired and make no sense, only solar makes sense now:

Why did we abandon hydrogen cars so quickly?
The more I look at what Toyota has done (and is doing) with a hydrogen powered internal combustion engine even... I just don't get it. I know storage costs of hydrogen are expensive, but if it were scaled up, wouldn't the cost dramatically lower? The Boring Company could dig giant underground...

Ocean currents and hydropower, solving the worlds energy problems without fusion dreams?
So @R-T-B and I were having a discussion, it got me thinking about something since Wash State has hydro power, same with British Columbia, really benefits that region of the world immensely. If the ocean currents are predictable, and we already have the capability of laying wires entire ocean...

Cost effective transportation, how to live a better life with more money in your pocket, 8.1 kWh per 100 km EV car's. Let's discuss.
Sketching out some rough ideas... basically what gave me this idea was how hard it is to find decently priced transportation to get back and forth to work. How vulture like car salesman have been towards me, etc. I absolutely can't believe humanity has come to this. It's really sad and...

Seems to me, that Hyperloop is not only the future, it will benefit all of us and save us a lot of time.
Watch this video in full before commenting please. Keep in mind, even in the pandemic like now, hyperloop would still be better than all other modes of public transport (the pods are more sanitary since only small number of people for each one, versus air being exchanged on an entire train...
