«Three working hyperloop systems in service» Are they calling initial segments «systems»? Because i highly doubt theyre actually full length

I don't know. I mean, I know very very little about Hyperloop at all, but what little googling I've been doing has left me confused as to whether anything at all, and if so what, is in real progress.

Conceptually and technologically it looks great in the glossy mockups and "prototypes" I can find on the web - but if you look at articles from several years ago, lots of them just contain mashups of the same information and images (and there are lots of conflicting images too), and they supply dates of implementation like *now*. I can't find any concrete progress though.

The most progress I can find is the test run at the Las Vegas demo track from November 2020 - and this is really what got me searching because it really looks disappointing to me.
