#tesla #tunnel #lasvegas
So, it's a underground tunnel for slow moving taxies that drive few hundred meters and need 1 person driving per 3-4 passengers..what a genius idea! And in this case "bus stop" was 3 minutes long..
Seems to be more of a proof of concept. It's obviously working Clark county hired them to build out the whole city over the next few years.
That woman could not care less about you guys 😂
I guess they aren't cute enough😞
She shouldn't.
The driver dodged questions better than the majority of presidential press secretaries in the past three decades.
Lmao facts this guy is a pro
shocking how little they educate the drivers. Do you know the # of tunnels or existing miles? but you drive it daily? how is that even possible lol
🤣🤣
@@Oaky "Because I don't care" Do you know how many parking spots are in your city? Do you know how many parking spots in your local grocery store? No? Gee, guess not every trivia fact is known by all. ;) Is he a tour guide or a driver? Do taxi drivers know everything about their cities they drive in? No? Why not? You mean they are not required? Who would have thought? 🙄
@@WW-wf8tu Who would have thought that somebody working it what is basically a Tesla Tourist attraction as a glorified tour guide, would know about the attraction. This isn't mass transit, its a two minute ride that makes about as much sense economically as having Elephant rides along one block of New York... He should have known, but didn't give a rats arse because he was a jerk... he also had the shits because they had rudely interrupted him trying to tune the girl, rather than do his job.
Kind of sad that it seems americans are so disconected from actual quality public transit, they actually see this as a "good idea".
What's his next innovative breakthrough idea? Connecting a bunch of tela's together so that only one driver is required and installing some sort of track system so that minimal supervision is required?
I think there are systems like that in some cities, I believe they’re called trains or subways? I forgot
@@acalinga no no. Subways are not futuristic. Tesla is futuristic
There won't be a driver eventually, that's literally Tesla's whole goal. Driverless cars...
This system has some advantages over trains. You wouldn't know it from this video but one advantage is dramatically lower wait times. Another is shorter trip times, which will be more apparent once there are dozens of stations. Connecting cars together and putting them on a track means every passenger's time is wasted when the whole train stops so just a few passengers can get on or off. Individual cars can skip all the stations and go directly to the destination.
@@nujjigram Subways work. Tesla tunnels don't.
It’s like adding a lane but way more expensive. Or like a subway system, but serving way, way less capacity before having a traffic jam.
It's like "mass transit" without the "mass."
There wasn't a place to add another lane that wouldn't add to the congestion at the surface. It is a subway, but far less expensive than a rail system, and it carries ALL the people that it needs to. Paying more for more capacity that won't be used would be fiscally irresponsible.
It's for the elite.
@@percivalgooglyeyes6178 If you're elite enough to attend a convention at the Las Vegas Convention Center, it's for you and it's free to ride.
Well not exactly free. It was built using hotel taxes, and you usually have to pay to go to the convention. But you don't pay to ride the LVCC Loop.
@@kevinbailey8827
It's a gimmick.
My suggestion to them would be to use specific color cars for each location. label the locations as red line, blue line, black line, etc. and use that color cars for those lines. Would be easier to know what car to get in when going to specific locations.
Sounds like a good idea, but the very concept of the system is that it's a point-to-point system, so there are thousands of route combinations. Even at a single station, there will be 50+ destinations to choose from. That's one big benefit of this system over most public transport: near point-to-point travel without changing vehicles, so way more comfortable and quicker.
Lady going to central: "Who are you kidding?" Welcome to our world lady. 🤣 Does Roman exaggerate, nah.
Getting in the car while another journalist is finishing a report, mocking about them, interrupt her and the driver just to turn the music down.... that's a bit rude guys. You should know better c'mon!!
Besides. That ride proves nothing...just an underground lane, there are entire highways like that already...40mph limit....what are they trying to prove?
I don’t think they can have copyrighted music playing in their videos, this the reason to turn it down.
Andre was respectful, I think Roman comes off very bossy in some of videos.
Meanwhile China is building high speed rail all over
China can do whatever they want. Demolish your home and build the line the next day.
America never been interested in high speed rail.
China can build wherever it wants because it's effectively a dictatorship.
In the west, trying to build massive infrastructure projects is near impossible because of all the lawsuits and obstacles to obtaining the land and getting the projects approved.
Well that start was awkward
He almost went full Karen on her
That was quite a long way to go just to say "Hi" to Kyle and Alyssa. 😉
That rude let the reporter finish her reporting🙄
Who's she reporting to!!
i agree. she was in the car first. Roman always does seem to be impatient and kind of all over the place
He's a racist
So much wasted money for such a pathetic "transit" system. No automation, speed limits of 40mph, barely carries any people, and still susceptible to traffic in its own independent system.
It’s a concept so it’s not a waste at all, everything has a start and this is it. Just keep that in mind.
Only works during conventions as well
@@Turbo6019 most concepts are on the drawing board or a patent. This has moved beyond concepts. This was the flex of a billionaire that can't be told that a single lane, no emergency exit, no ventilation hole was an idiotic idea.
You must have never rode it? Thousands of people were riding it at SEMA with zero failures. It sounds like you're making stuff up
@@macbook802 nowhere near as efficient as a subway.
I love how the driver had his seat and radio adjusted for HIS comfort.
That's what I would do. The rider is in and out in a few minutes.
@@tr-lj2vx how dare you! 🤣
Hey Kyle and Alyssa! They are awesome! Lol I don’t think they were expecting to be on the video lol.
I am sure that was likely staged! LOL!
Well this tunnel idea was groundbreaking. 🙄🙄😒😒
After this "mobility" thing fizzles out, and Tesla stops the funding, it will make a great place for the homeless.
What happens in the tunnels stays in the tunnels.
Definitely...as there's no escapist route if you crash.
This completely misses the point of reducing congestion in our cities. This is essentially like adding more lanes to already congested highways. Unless these Teslas are chained together, automated, and decentralized for public use (I.e. a train), then this further pushes our reliance on personal transportation.
It's not essentially like adding another lane. It's adding a separate lane (like an HOV Lane) and using that lane only for taxis (eventually driverless ones). The dynamics are different than adding another lane to a multilane highway, because the vehicles in the loop don't interact with vehicles outside the loop.
I strongly suspect that a fully implemented loop, as they're building in the rest of the Las Vegas resort corridor, will use higher capacity vehicles. The current sedans won't go away, but you'll be able to request larger vehicles. Also, direct shuttles between hotels and the airport or the stadium will be larger and configured for carrying luggage.
I haven't been to Vegas in about 20 years, but I remember cheap buffets, good deals on rental cars, and lots and lots of free parking everywhere. I understand those aren't true any more. Once the Vegas Loop is complete, you'll be able to get to most anywhere a tourist wants to go, with fares competitive with an Uber (or comped by the casinos). It will be faster and more convenient than a subway system or an Uber. You won't need to deal with a rental car or parking fees.
This is semi-personal transport, and that's a huge benefit: end-to-end trips without transfers. And what's the issue with "reliance on personal transportation" if it's affordable, clean, 10X cheaper to build than subways, comfortable and quick?
To anyone who thinks that this is the "Future of mobility," I'd suggest you check out Common Sense Skeptic and Thunderfoot for their take on it.
The Vegas loops are "proof of concept". 1) It CAN be done beneath a big, busy city 2) It can be done on budget 3) It saves time for travellers 4) No exhaust fumes, no noisy diesel engines 5) No traffic in tunnel, and reduces traffic on the road above
They are planning much longer loops in Dallas/FtWorth/Austin... the cars will be FSD, and will travel at much higher speeds. The practicality will be much more apparent in this realistic application... expand to NoEast US Megalopolis & Europe's cities, this will be a game changer in many ways.
If we were to follow skeptics, we’d be still commuting on horse backs.
@@billderinbaja3883 So you mean like a subway? Turns out that they've existed for over 100 years.
@@billderinbaja3883
Where's the "proof" part?
@@justinfowler2857: Right, no difference between a big open unsafe rattletrap crowded with hoodlums... and a nice clean quiet Tesla moving at 4x the speed of old subway tech. You Justin are a Luddite.
No way Arturo averages 300 miles per shift, even the 8 hour shifts. Speed limit is 40 mph. Even making non-stop loops at speed would only be 320 miles, but the system design requires the car to travel much slower when entering & departing the stations. Being admitted to and then exiting requires a stationary car adding significant down time-a large percentage of the over all trip with such short routes.
Maybe an average of 20 mph for the shift? 100 miles per his 5 hour shift.
So the future of mobility is to have shuttle drivers take you through a tunnel. Not gonna lie, I was expecting a little bit more. I saw it was Teslas, and I thought they'd at LEAST be using a next-level self-driving, on a strict mapped course so they could not have drivers. Kind of like the Pneumatic Tube system at the north pole in Polar Express.
They will be self driving in the future once it's ready and approved for use.
@@blackvr4tt its a closed loop prototype yet they still couldn't implement a basic system of automation.
@@blackvr4tt
It's not public roads.
Heathrow has self driving pods.
Tesla was supposed to be able to do this year's ago.
A person who thinks this is smart must be be able to give one example when it's better than a subway system.
I haven't heard anything yet.
The defenders usually take Musk at his word and believe his ridiculously lies about the costs of the system.
I was in Las Vegas last November and was sorry to find the tunnels weren’t open. Guess it’s only for the big conventions that use multiple halls.
Well he did say that IN THE VIDEO!!!!!
Las Vegas has conventions nearly every week. I’d hoped the weekend I was there that the tunnels would be operating.
So it’s a taxi system without paying all the taxi registration and taxes?and a rail line is way more efficient isn’t it?
It's basically only to and from the convention center.
Joe Mattes -- Correct. Nevermind those pesky regulations that apply to everyone else, and with one to three passengers per "car," it doesn't move many people around. Apparently they have "traffic jams" down there, and it's often much quicker and easier to just walk where you need to go.
@@tom_hoots They don't have traffic jams down there. There's one video of a slowdown that happened for a few minutes at CES last year. I compared that trip to videos of a trip without a slowdown, and the passenger who took the video was delayed by 40 seconds. Just that one time. Just that one day.
When I take a subway, I get delayed by 40 seconds every time the train stops at a station that isn't my destination.
@@davidmccarthy6061 I mean it seems faster than driving on the road but does it really solve the traffic problem
Look forward to your CES coverage
WTF, this seems like a crappy theme park ride.
I live in Vegas, and our taxes most certainly did not go up to build the tunnels. And it’s a couple of bucks from Resorts World to the convention center round-trip.saves a good 20 min walk. Very convenient in the harsh weather.
Nice! A comment from someone who actually uses the system, and understands the costs and benefits... as compared to the 99% ignorant comments above. Tesla haters gonna hate... so sad for you.
Reading the same comment over and over that it doesn't make sense with drivers and I agree. But this driver explains the idea at about 6:00 in. This is just the humble beginnings, in the future there will be longer tunnels, where you can drive 100 mph or more and it will be fully autonomous. It's not just about driving straight through tunnels, it's also about watching out for humans and other cars, getting in and out of pickup bays, waiting the right amount of time for seats to fill etc., that's why it isn't autonomous yet. Also, the people have to get used to it, it has to sink in, into the collective consciousness of humanity, if you will, until it becomes totally normal and everyone knows how it works.
Of course buses and trains can transport more people at the same time, but they get pretty congested, some folks like to empty their bladders inside them etc. and oftentimes they drive with only a few people inside, wasting energy and money. Trains also take quite a long time to accelerate and decelerate, while making loud screeching noises doing the latter. Train tracks have to be maintained, bigger and much more costly tunnels, that take years instead of months to build, are required etc.
Tesla may come up with a mini-bus-like solution for the Loop tunnels in the future, where maybe 8-12 people can sit comfortably. The Model X can already transport up to 7 people, a specialized autonomous Loop bus wouldn't have to be that much bigger to carry 8-12, basically 3 or 4 rows for up to 3 each, no driver.
In the future everyone will teleport between locations, so why bother with tunnels?
@@AardvarkDK That's a good one.
On a serious note though, there is quite a bit of a difference here. Autonomous cars in tunnels are realistic within 5-10 years, teleportation will probably take us hundreds of years to master in the future and you may not always want to do it for everything, so transportation may still be required even then.
@@nightshadowblade "Autonomous cars in tunnels are realistic within 5-10 years"
Don't you mean [this year +1]? Isn't that what Chairman Musk usually claims and has claimed for about a decade? Along with the Tesla Semi (lol) and Cybertruck (bigger lol).
It's not gonna happen.
@@AardvarkDK I was a bit conservative with 5-10, there will probably be autonomous Loop cars operating in about 1-3 years, but nothing too big or fancy. From what I heard they are basically awaiting regulatory approval and as soon as that comes in they are pretty much ready to go within a year or so.
The Semi is going into mass production this year, exact specs will be released this year for sure. So far it looks like it can carry about 44k pounds + trailer, straps etc. for 800 miles at about 55 mph. The delay was 3 years, not a decade, part of it due to Covid and the parts shortage.
The Cybertruck will most likely come out at the end of this year, with real mass production starting in 2024. Of course they won't be able to sell them at the originally intended prices anymore, after all that has happened around the world in the last 3 years but other than that they will offer pretty much what was promised at the event in 2019.
Just out of curiosity: Are you a member of the Thunderf00t anti-Elon cult?
@@nightshadowblade Lots of [this year +1 or X months] doing some heavy lifting. FSD aaaaaany day now.
Gees, super rude! Let her do her interview or find another car!
Using regular passenger vehicles with a driver seems to completely miss the mark with the point of this system. What benefit does this have over a rail-based system? Got a frak ton more employees working on this than a 40-person single-operator train would take.
Doubt those tunnels respect any vigorous safety requirements as being large enough to fit Emergency Vehicles, proper ventilation, or Emergency exits among the line. The Boring machine selected is more often used to build sewer tunnels. That could explain why Tesla still doesn't use their FSD system inside them.
Yeah the thing I noticed is what happens if another vehicle is coming at you? also blind corners everywhere. Also to my knowledge the boring company makes flame thhroers not the hyperloop that is different and it's own company.
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough probably why they rely on Drivers to do the transportation, and not the FSD system as initially proposed.
The voice of reason and common sense! Thank you.
If they didn't meet safety requirements they wouldn't be allowed to operate. They worked closely with the Clark County Fire Department on designing their safety and emergency equipment and procedures. The CCFD knows it won't be able to drive full-size emergency vehicles into the tunnels, and they have procedures in place. They don't drive their vehicles into hotel lobbies or up the side of the Strat tower, either. And if this were an underground train, they wouldn't be driving ambulances into those tunnels either.
@@kevinbailey8827 for a reason they drive the cars slowly and with a driver commanding it.
Why didn’t you have André talking in this video instead of Roman? Roman should become a SILENT partner in this business.
Crazy idea... Instead of having a road underground you could set up a continuous bracket that fit in between the wheels to keep them in place. You could call them... Let's say.... tracks. Then you wouldn't need a driver that was steering. Also I would widen the cars and connect them together. After that I would automate them to go around the track in intervals. That way there's no cars just sitting around. With the larger connected cars you could accommodate more people per journey. If people miss the ride don't worry! Another series of these connected track fed cars will be there shortly.
... I just described a train.
You're missing the main point. These narrower tunnels are much less costly and quicker to drill. Plus they'll use self driving cars in the future.
But it wasn't cheaper then normal tunnel 🤣 I mean Musk told it would be, but at the end it wasn't. It was about the same cost (10-15mil/mile) and took a lot longer then it usually takes. There is so much wrong with this idea (and with hyperloop), it's laughable. Wonder how it got any investors. Then again Theranos also fooled lots of investors.
@@blackvr4tt they also provide a safety hazard. Do you see any emergency exits? Do you see any way for a fire truck or an ambulance to get close? Do you see fire extinguishers? Do you see ventilation? No. That's cutting corners. That's dangerous.
So you have tiny tube that can be blocked up by one car with no way to drive around it. If one catches fire the tunnel will be ruined forever because the fire won't be able to be put out and it will continue to burn until every cell catches.
Read Jurassic Park and equate John Hammond with Elon.
@@haanjamiis Musk didn't sell the LVCVA a tunnel at $x per mile. TBC quoted $47 million for the whole loop. In the end it cost more like $55 million (but not all of the difference went to TBC). The quote they got to build an underground train was well over $200 million.
COVID-19 affected the timeframe to build the tunnels, but it also meant that the tunnel wasn't needed. It was ready in time. Construction started in October 2019, and completed in April 2021. A year and a half. This was the first commercial project for TBC.
As they build the rest of the tunnels (more than 30 miles of them) for the Las Vegas Loop, they'll have more data about how quickly they can tunnel, what kinds of obstacles they have to deal with, and how much it costs. That will allow them to propose future projects for potential customers that don't rely on aspirational promises from Elon Musk. As the Vegas tunnels are brought online, they'll also be able to give operational and maintenance cost information.
@@blackvr4tt It's a closed loop system and they still can't get self driving to work.
1:17 if you need to write instructions on the door how to use the handle you've failed to design a proper handle. In no world should a door handle have to come with instructions.
Enough of the people calling Musk a genius. This is the dumbest idea ever. ... I will solve it for you..... build a............. wait for it ................. SUBWAY
What are the black marks all over the walls? Surely they’re not scuff marks, right?
Tried to go upside down like men in black.
This is just an expensive idiotic method to transit. There’s no traffic now because very small amount of people are using this tunnel hence small amount of vehicles. When many people starts to use this there will be tesla cars waiting in line from entrance to the central station. If you want to avoid traffic have a above ground rapid transit metro system.
This loop will likely never need more capacity than it has, because its demand is limited by the capacity of the convention center. It's only for use by people attending events at the convention center.
They're building a much larger loop that will go to nearly all the casinos and to the airport and stadium. There will be a lot of people using it. The casinos will be building their own stations and they'll have a vested interest in making the stations big enough to accommodate their paying guests.
This was SO cringe !!!
At the end of the conference day, with hundreds or thousands all wanting to return to where they came from, how will 4 passengers per car cope?
So far it has.
No tip for Arturo? 😢
well that looks like a big waste of money lol
The only way I see this being better than trams is that it might be easier to expand to new locations because there's less infrastructure needed. Trams would need rails, power, and other infrastructure. With Teslas, it would just be paving the road
You mean drill a giant tunnel?
@@mluu510 drilling the tunnel would be needed for both trams and this system, I'm just talking about the differences
@fadinglionhart Also trams need a bigger tunnels, and since it's round area and volume would increase with radius squared. So this is way cheaper and faster than drilling a tunnel for a tram.
You know them make wheeled trams right like a 12 sheeter golf cart.
@@GreenBlueWalkthrough No I didn't know that was a thing.
There is traffic all the time in this ridiculous thing. It takes you nowhere. It's beyond theater of the absurd.
Something about Roman...
What a waste of money & time to prove mostly nothing, just like "living" on Mars?!
Very depressing;
They couldn't make the tunnel any narrower? Also, how is a narrow, one lane tunnel the solution to traffic in a big city? Additionally, I bet breaking down and being stuck in the tunnel is super fun and simple to resolve. Hope you're not claustrophobic...
No Musk fan but its part of the "hyperloop" which is more like a subway and not designed to be used by cars like that. But works ok for demonstration purposes
Teslas carry a juicy lithium pack with them. If that starts to burn inside this tunnel.. It's like a crematorium.
at 12.5 feet internal diameter it is larger than the 11’ 8” tunnels of the London Underground. And of course there is a good three feet on either side of the 6’ wide EV to open doors - a heck of a lot more room than those Tube tunnels - in the rare event evacuation is necessary.
Okay, old bad Joke… Does Andrei like Smirnov Vodka? 😅
If this is made on the strip connecting all the casinos, it will only be used with autonomous Evs acting like horizontal "elevitors" Did i get it right ? Or can anyone with Ev move through it ? Might force you to go autonomous while in there though.
If so and if it doesn't cost much its actually pretty dope, i robot type of shyt just narrow as f ck
If it works am guessing it can evolve to a highway type of system in large cities
Welcome to Las Vegas.
Bumpy ride!
Damn that was awkward guys. Wow…
Why not build a subway?
Reading the comments lots of ppl are missing the key points of why this makes sense.
Narrow tunnels are much cheaper and quicker to drill, compared to larger subway or train tunnels. Thus in very congested cities it's easier and cost effective to go down multiple levels with tunnels.
In the future the vehicles will be automated with self driving once they're ready and approved for use.
Another advantage of being underground especially in southern cities, you get away from the brutal heat in the summer.
There is a reason tunnels in general are bigger than just the car width
No matter how safe or automated a system appears to be, regulation mandates additional space around it for multiple reasons
That's what makes this concept a bit underwhelming and remains a concept
5:46 does she not have to put on a seatbelt?
The driver couldn't care less for the riders... No hello, didn't ask them where to, took them to the wrong place, Roman had no space for his legs, driver sitting position is wrong in every imaginable way, from the safety and health point of view, holding the steering wheel on the top?...
What he hell is this? 500m slow ride through a bumpy tunnel? Is it possible to exit the vehicle if the car breaks down? God forbid catches fire?
The woman who directed them to his car asked them where to, and they said "West Hall" she sent them to stall number 6. If you look at the display as she says this, that's the side of the station where the cars are going to the South Hall. The drivers usually don't ask where to from the central station, because their cars are pointed either "west" or "south".
The woman at the beginning sent them the wrong way.
I just watched Kyle riding Boring.
“Hyper loop” oh so it’s slower than just fkn walking, great boondoggle scam
Vegas has monorail 🙄
....soooooo its a bad subway
Which is the dumbest 1. Roman interrupting a interview 2. Boring a hole underground to go anywhere 3. 2023 ponytail
So single lane tunnels with no ventilation or emergency exits are the future?
If one of those cars catch fire everyone will be blocked in and will be blind with all of the smoke.
When lithium packs go, they go hard..
Awsome!

I think that is amazing. Never heard of it before now. What if there's a crash in a tunnel?
That's why they have their own drivers, and each leg is a mile at the most, and one way. Also smooth walls that doesn't cause more than skin damage.
@@davidmccarthy6061 Yeah, that's good. And I suppose breakdowns are sorted easily. Maybe pushed out with a cushioned truck
@@Malc664 They have procedures for dealing with breakdowns. They practice the procedures. The drivers are required to show that they can drive through the tunnels in reverse in case they need to evacuate.
But my understanding is that there haven't been any crashes or breakdowns in real life, so far.

@@haanjamiis we are olanning on building one in Edmonton
Meh. It's more than boring. It's useless.
Sure are a lot of whiners in the comments. Shouldn't have to point out that this is in a very early infancy type stage and clearly doesn't represent the final 'product'.
How successful this will be isn't written yet, so we'll see, but to look at something at this stage and declare it a failure or dumb is simply foolish.
The theoretical potential is also not great, an automated underground train would be better suited for this use case.
It's not the infancy. It's a giant hole in the ground. We've been digging giant holes in the ground since the beginning of humanity. There's nothing new about any of this, it's there just to promote Tesla's brand name and sponge more money. We would've better spent money on a rail system in it, or smarter traffic management systems with current infrastructure. This is has been a waste.
@@Eden-NoEye The cost to do a train is MUCH higher. Trains only make sense in situations that can justify that kind of massive expenditure. Something like this, then, only makes sense in situations where something like a train isn't feasible.
