Did you read the PDF? He basically says that the hyperloop is only useful for 500-1000 mile loops between commerce centers. Less than that, and conventional transportation is better, longer than that and high altitude supersonic planes are the solution.
A supersonic plane between LA and San Fran? Won't work, would spend all of it's time subsonic climbing and descending.
