Sold for $408,000 .

I guess you don't understand the concept of supply and demand.

You need to take a trip up to the Bay Area and see how much the BART trains are full of riders every day. Nobody rides Amtrak because it's slow and expensive. A bullet train from Socal to Norcal would be full every day.

imagine what that train smells like

Does it really matter as long as they pay the fare?

They would have gov't supplied punch cards that YOU will pay for.

$68-billion California bullet train project likely to overshoot budget and deadline targets

However, a Times analysis of project documents, as well as interviews with scientists, engineers and construction experts, indicates that the deadline and budget targets will almost certainly be missed — and that the state has underestimated the challenges ahead, particularly completing the tunneling on time.

"It doesn't strike me as realistic," said James Monsees, one of the world's top tunneling experts and an author of the federal manual on highway tunneling. "Faults are notorious for causing trouble."

"Not realistic" is my take on it too. Gov. Moonbeam must be smoking something.

We didn't go to the MOON because we were being realistic.

Going to the moon and a bullet train......yeah, they're the same.

Why do you think we're so interested in Mars and exploring there now. Our endeavors to the moon made that possible. You really are small minded aren't you?

I don't plan to be visiting outer space, do you? Maybe I was jaded by the Jetsons.....still waiting for those flying cars.
If small minded means sensible, then yes.

I imagine the same sensible people said it was impossible to fly before we had airplanes. Well here's your flying car.

Sorry it's not for sensible people. You might be better off with a Prius.

That's offensive !!! I might have to report you for talking dirty nonsense.
There is nothing that compares to the internal combustion engine IMO.

I see the Teslas were rated real low in reliability. Seems like they have lots of squeeks and rattles and doors and windows that don't shut properly. Also it sounds like the batteries aren't lasting like they should and that is a MAJOR expense.

The car is too much of a major expense by itself.......neighbors have an $80,000 plus sticker on theirs. It's pretty to look at....that's the only positive thing I have to say about it.
