not quite getting the big picture.

as a subway with 1,000 stops it sounds annoying. you don't generally want your ride to lose momentum. and if the stops are so close, you need to think about just walking.


but maybe it's for cars? then what are the logistics of a small space and getting off/on?

The big picture, is he's testing the technology for Mars.

All Elon Musk projects are related to Mars - Tunnels, Solar, Electrical Storage/grid, Electric Vehicles & Rocket Ships.

I expect him to get into the 3-D Printing Construction business next.

He better get that solar working really well because once you're on Mars, there's no fallback to an alternate system and as soon as you're out of electrical power, you'll be dead in short order. Earth is so much more survivable.

And you'd better figure out how to manufacture everything on Mars with equipment you take on the trip or you run a very significant chance of dying before you can get a replacement.
