Hyperloop One’s turbulent ride dramatically ends

Published

on

Hyperloop One’s ambitious journey has come to an abrupt halt, as the futuristic transportation company faces a myriad of challenges, from repeated high-speed train failures to allegations of sexual misconduct within its ranks.

After years of anticipation and promises of revolutionizing the way we travel, Hyperloop One’s dream of propelling passengers through near-vacuum tubes at the speed of sound has been shattered.

The company’s struggles began with a series of technical setbacks, as their high-speed train prototypes failed to live up to expectations, leaving investors and enthusiasts disappointed.

Adding to the company’s woes are disturbing allegations of sexual misconduct, casting a dark shadow over its corporate culture.

Reports of harassment and discrimination within Hyperloop One have emerged, tarnishing its reputation and prompting investigations that further strained its already precarious situation.

As the curtains close on Hyperloop One’s ambitious venture, questions linger about the future of high-speed transportation. What went wrong for this once-promising company? Can other innovators pick up where Hyperloop One left off, or is the dream of ultra-fast travel through vacuum tubes destined to remain a fantasy?

Tesla is slashing prices to stay competitive

Tesla cut the U.S. prices of its Model Y, Model X and Model S vehicles by $2,000 each, days after the first-quarter deliveries of the world’s most valuable automaker missed market expectations.

Elon Musk’s electric-vehicle (EV) maker lowered the prices for its Model Y base variant to $42,990, while the long-range and performance variants are now priced at $47,990 and $51,490, respectively, according to its website.

The basic version of the Model S now costs $72,990 and its plaid variant $87,990. The Model X base variant now costs $77,990 and its plaid variant is priced at $92,900.
Tesla North America also said in a post on X said it would end its referral program benefits in all markets after April 30.

Referral program allows buyers to get extra incentives through referrals from existing customers, a strategy long used by traditional automakers to boost sales.

Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, Reuters reported on Saturday.
On Monday Reuters reported, citing an internal memo, that the EV maker was laying off more than 10% of its global workforce.
Earlier this month Reuters reported the EV maker had canceled a long-promised inexpensive car, expected to cost $25,000, that investors had been counting on to drive mass-market growth.
The EV maker reported this month that its global vehicle deliveries in the first quarter fell for the first time in nearly four years, as price cuts failed to stir demand.

Tesla is to report first-quarter earnings on Tuesday.
