(Figure 1). The only system that comes close to matching the low energy requirements of Hyperloop is the fully electric Tesla Model S. Figure 1. Energy cost per passenger for a journey between Los Angeles and San Francisco for various modes of transport. 4. Hyperloop Transportation System Hyperloop (Figure 2 through Figure 3) is a proposed transportation system for traveling between Los Angeles, California, and San Francisco, California in 35 minutes. The Hyperloop consists of several distinct components, including: 1. Capsule: a. Sealed capsules carrying 28 passengers each that travel along the interior of the tube depart on average every 2 minutes from Los Angeles or San Francisco (up to every 30 seconds during peak usage hours). b. A larger system has also been sized that allows transport of 3 full size automobiles with passengers to travel in the capsule.
