All cars that participate in the light show have their batteries drained by 50% and then must wait hours in queues at the closest chargers to get enough charge to make it back home after the event. :D

Going to have to agree with another poster on this video: If you're going to purport to be a news channel you shouldn't spread things that are demonstrably false. AKA the Reuters article. Also, I understand it's an attempt at humor by saying that the light show was attended by a Tesla bot, but not everyone is going to get that it was really a human in a Tesla bot suit. This is misinformation whether intentional or otherwise. It's all rather unfortunate because I tend to enjoy your delivery style. But knowing that I'm going to have to fact check your work or check the comments for viewer-submitted claims of misinformation I'll just go elsewhere.

Wonder if they are planning on using this machine on other planets, once we have the capabilities for sustaining consistent space travel. Also to note 2 fictional similarities from the movie Total Recall (1990), where they have autonomous taxis and boring machines.

Curious to know what it will actually be drilling through. The land Giga Texas is built upon is soft, sandy, silty river wash type soil. The area around it is littered with water filled gravel and sand pits. Now it may be that the sandy soil is not very deep and there is some firm soil or even rock there. However, that area is what we call "off the escarpment" in that it is below the rocky Balcones Escarpment geology. I could be wrong, but there may not be any rock there for Prufrock to drill through. If that is the case, why bother using it at all? Plus if it's only going to be 15 feet below the road, that seems like not enough to avoid undermining the road or destabilizing the roadbed.

I warned Elon Musk that he should be focusing on (1) New design "Rotary Wankel Airmotor" systems using failsafe 20,000+ psi CFC air pressure tanks for 1000+ miles range per fill-up of the air pressure tank, for all surface-vehicle and VTOL-aircraft applications; and also (2) Henry Wm Wallace field propulsion technology patented in 1971 using bismuth or other half-integer nuclear spin materials at high speed in rotor/stator configuration to produce "antigravity" field propulsion effect without rockets. Right now Tesla is struggling to remain relevant but will not achieve continuing relevancy using the botched Lithium-ion battery technology and unnecessarily complex technology. The best inventions are the simplest inventions that can do the job -- Elon Musk knows this. These are the best and simplest technologies that can do the job of surface, VTOL aircraft, and interstellar spacecraft transportation systems.
