Step 1 - Convince gullible politicians to buy into shiny, bullshit fantasy tech as an alternative to real mass transit.

Step 2 - Once you've strung them along for enough time to disrupt other plans, abandon the project.

Step 3 - Reap the benefits of society's continued reliance on cars by selling more Teslas.

Or in Hogan's case:

Follow all of these steps knowing it's vaporware, but that it will fool the electorate, so you can disrupt Maryland transit plans and continue using your power as governor to fund road widenings near your real estate firm's (that you did not put in a blind trust) holdings to make them more valuable.
