You would need some large tubes to serve that amount of traffic. At that pace if you are burrowing it underground, you're basically still building a tunnel. It's very unlikely there could be mass volume on a normal sized hyperloop tube using individual cars.

Do you actually think natural gas and oil pipelines are that large? The largest ones used for interstate transport has a diameter of 48 inches.
Good luck stuffing some passengers in there. :^)

I'm not denying that they make pipes that big, I'm denying that the majority of pipelines are suitable in size to fit a vehicle or passengers inside. Plus good luck emptying out those pipelines anytime soon lol.
Anyways interesting post, can't wait to see what Elon has up his sleeve next.
