#2> it's not an evacuated tunnel
Really? I thought it was already established that the Hyperloop is a vactrain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrain). Using small cars (say, six passengers) accomplishes the "leaves when you arrive" and putting solar panels on top of the tunnel accomplishes the storing energy part. I wonder what the alternative would be and what its advantages over a vactrain would be.

He's said explicitly that it's not, although I can't find a primary source for this quote.

#5Like most titles that end with a question mark - "no". Why would you use some kind of acoustic wave system over tried and true maglev?

#6Whatever it ends up being, this is exciting!

Drag?
And by the way - the title doesn't end in a question mark. ;)

#8"Elon Musks final invention will be a time machine. It will only work once before exploding. Before entering it, Elon will turn around and tell us he has done his duty and given us many gifts, and now we must use those gifts to advance mankind. He hopes great things for us.
We beg for him to stay and aid us further. He smiles sadly, He looks at us with his tired but happy eyes, shakes his head, and steps into the machine. He returns to an early 21st century earth...and begins his work once again. As it has always been, as it always shall be."

#9For someone who has taken nothing more than undergraduate physics as a requirement for my degree, can someone explain the benefits/risks of using an acoustic wave system over others? Has anyone previously looked at this sort of system for travel? If the wave were to be disrupted and these capsules come to a screeching halt, how fast of a deceleration are we talking about? Never more have I wanted to crack open my physics texts again.
And how will this affect the elephants?

#10 6,437km/h (4,000mph) to zero is going to be one hell of a stop.
