Elon Ultra: Opening The Doors For The Hyperloop And The Entire Grid

The proposed "Elon Ultra" monorail car is a vehicle that is not only choice for the Hyperloop, but indeed for the Tesla DC lineup, as it would be projected to become that transit platform for Tesla that would open the doors for other mass transit projects.

Elon Ultra would prove to be an ideal design for the Hyperloop because of its sloped front end, accommodating the turbine design that would provide the air barrier and suspension needed to maintain travel throughout the Hyperloop's enclosed system.

Not only this, but a turbine-stuffed monorail, as opposed to a capsule, would carry some 30-35 passengers, further expanding on Elon Musk's 840 passenger per hour quota.

On top of expanding upon this proposed quota, the Elon Ultra would expand on Walt Disney's proposed monorail system, one that was introduced at Disneyland as the "future transit rail" of Los Angeles during a time when cars were king, and satellites were just starting to beam into space.

Also, the vision behind Elon Ultra, because of its ability to accommodate a turbine while maintaining sleek aerodynamics, is that it would be a serious consideration for the city of Los Angeles as a substantial replacement for the San Fernando Valley's current "Orange Line," which, as is, stands as a rather primitive bus "liner" service.

At the very best, Elon Ultra would maximize the Hyperloop's performance and capacity, while opening for Tesla a market that allows for light rail and other localized forms of travel.
