I was being extremely generous.....
But yes, this thing is not close to any level of deployment and it's highly offensive that Hyperloop fanatics like to pretend it's just a few years away, if we just put a little research money into it. It can decades to go from TRL 4 to TRL 8 sometimes. Especially if the business case collapses, as is happening for Hyperloop.
