I thought it was originally going to have enough air still in the tube so that the pods could rely on lift generated at speed and help reduce the impact of small leaks. Isn't the idea behind "vacuum tunnel" trains to use magnetic levitation or the pressure differential between the two sides of the car at much lower pressures?I like when the Hyperloop back when it was called a "vacuum tunnel".
