This deal will propel tesla to develop a van / people mover. Which will be far more economically reasonable in the boring company’s layout. When you think about it they could use a very basic platform. The vehicle they develop might not even have a roof. Similar to the train that runs under the capital for the senators.
Then you wouldn't be able to take advantage of the point-to-point nature of the Loop. Smaller EVs means you don't have to get a large group of people together to go to the same destination.
@TH-cam Sucks No, you just didn't do your homework. Larger vehicles still in the works. They are not needed yet to meet capacity goals. Steve Hill and Steve Davis both have recently commented about this.
@@Global_Optimization yeah there can be a mix of self driving Teslas, larger bus type rides for popular destinations such as the convention center or the airport, and I guess even any other self-driving capable personal car (especially any Teslas) could get access to enter the loop.
@@charbax Right. It also has to be an EV because of fire and ventilation requirements but yeah the tunnels can accommodate any self driving vehicle that fits inside.
@@Global_Optimization I think they should implement those electric skates that they have been talking about for years, to support any car in the tunnel, not only electric. Just drive onto that skate, turn off your motor, and off you go. In the tunnel, with any car. 😀
The Vegas Monorail cost $654m, only had 7 stations over 3.9 miles and has gone bankrupt twice. The Loop only costs $10m per mile, but the Boring Co is covering the cost of building the 29 miles of the new Loop and the 51 stations are all being paid for by the hotels and casinos who will all have a station at their front doors. This is going to be BIG.
@@martinhill9011 the Vegas loop already canceled most of their projects except the Vegas loop Also not to mention their slow build speed It took them 2 years just to build 1.5 miles
@@xijinping937 yes, a couple of other potential boring projects got hung up at the environmental approval stage, but the full Vegas Loop and Fort Lauderdale Loop projects are motoring ahead. Once the full 51 station, 29 mile Vegas Loop is completed at ZERO cost to taxpayers, TBC will have a very compelling exemplar to showcase to other potential customers around the world.
@@xijinping937 the current system was a learning exercise for TBC and used the old Godot Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) which was basically an off-the-shelf boring machine. They already have their new custom-designed “Prufrock" TBM onsite already digging the next two tunnels to Resorts World at speeds that are already 6x faster than Godot. Unlike Godot used for the LVCC, Prufrock does not need big expensive caverns to be slowly excavated at the start and end of each tunnel into which the TBM was lifted. Prufrock simply digs straight into and out of the ground at an angle, far faster using a “porpoising” technique. Also, all the 51 new stations are simple above-ground stations, not like the big expensive underground station in the centre of the LVCC, which are far faster to construct as well as being far cheaper. So no, construction time won’t be the sort of issue TF makes it out to be.
A subway would cost $3 - $10 billion dollars while this new 29 mile Loop is FREE. Why would you put in a slower, less efficient subway? With the incredibly low $10 million per mile cost of Loop tunnels it has allowed the Boring Co to offer to build the 29 miles of tunnels in the upcoming greater Las Vegas Loop for free down the Las Vegas Strip with the 51 hotels, casinos and attractions paying for their own cheap surface mini-stations. The cost of mini-stations is around $5m. Those prices are absolutely unheard of - compare it to $3.6 billion for a 15 mile Washington Metro class subway with only 24 stations. Or $10.86 billion for a London Underground class subway (which costs $724.5 million per mile).
This is really cool to add to Las Vegas. I hope less people out on the roads.
Never going to work, and just wait till one of those cars breaks down or catches fire.
With the lake drying up this town will be a ghost town in 50 years
They have money, they will just get water from somewhere else.
@@HarrisonAdAstra Yeah like where?
@@michaelholoway6336 somewhere else
Damn! ok, hope it will be flood proof. but yes this is great. Told you Vegas don't play. Only pro's should dive this. you dont want a fire down there
Maybe the Boring company can build tunnels from the pacific northwest to bring water to southern nevada?
straight connection to nlv

I wasn't born as a rat. Holes underground is not for me.
arnold got touched on da sss
Tourists like to see the Strip, NOT a Tunnel
Do they like sitting in traffic instead of getting to their attraction faster?
@@Global_Optimization Maybe they prefer to sit in a queue for 20 minutes to get on a car.
@@Global_Optimization actually they do,so they can stare at Ppl😄
@@liberalguy513 I bet they will have an app for that, just like Uber. Enjoy the view and jump on when your ride arrives. That'd be cool
@@MrVHI123 What will be really cool is when one of those cars breaks down or catches fire ... with no access way to get to you.
I can only imagine that everyone will be using this loop. This is great for tourists.!
Yeah a car in a tunnel going 30 mph is super interesting.
should use electric busses not cars

We will see. Will get shut down. Just like the train

Ask Las Vegas how that went.
@@HarrisonAdAstra its gone so well they plan on extending the Loop down the entire Vegas Strip.
@@martinhill9011 I am referring to the subway that they built, it went bankrupt twice. The boring company is the solution.
@@HarrisonAdAstra It was a raised monorail, not a subway. But yeah it went bankrupt twice and cost much more to build than this will
