@@From.the.408 If there is a breakdown, they'll tow it out as quickly as possible. They have a tow vehicle onsite for that purpose, but as far as I know they haven't had to use it. If you come to the loop hoping for a breakdown, you'll be disappointed. You're far more likely to get a quick comfortable ride to your destination.
The stations are only 500 meters apart, that's the advantage of a point to point system, don't need to stop at each station so more stations. No need for an emergency exit.
Hopefully the future of the commute to work. We've had to deal with poor highway engineering and traffic flow managers who can't figure how to keep lights green for decades.
@@johntheux9238 So what you're saying is... 205 million miles.... Vegas Loop is 1.7 miles one way, so 3.4 there and back... about 60 vehicles in service at any one time... 20 trips an hour per vehicle... 24 hours a day... so 2093 days for the fleet to reach that number. So at some point in the next 5.7 years, one of these vehicles will likely have a fire... in a tunnel where you can't open your doors, have no active ventilation, and there's no secondary fire escape tunnels. And you're mentioning this as a positive thing?
@@tata4tw You can open the door (they even managed to fit the cybertruck during an interview with Jay Leno), there is an active ventilation system and there is one station every 500 meters so there is no need for secondary fire escape tunnel.
@@tata4tw Fires probably won't happen even that often in tunnels. Those 205 million miles are mostly driven in the Wild Wild West of on streets and roads with road hazards, cross traffic, oncoming traffic, multiple lanes, etc. These factors lead to accidents, and many of the Tesla fires have been associated with accidents. If you prevent those accidents, by having professional drivers (or dependable AI drivers) in a closed loop with one-way, one lane traffic along well-maintained and monitored roadways, etc., then those fires don't happen. Another set of fires that won't happen in these tunnels, is the ones that happen while charging. They don't charge the vehicles in the tunnels, so even if one of these fires happens, it's just bad press and the loss of a car. No one using the loop will be in danger from that kind of fire. What you're left with is the tiny number of spontaneous fires that happen with no warning. Even these if you look at the details, start with an overheating battery. The passengers exit the car because of the overheating. Sometime later, when no one is in the car, the battery pack "suddenly" ignites. In these rare cases, the vehicle passengers should be evacuated ASAP, and the tunnel should be evacuated also. Personally, I think they should attempt to tow the overheating vehicle to the nearest surface station and then to an open area where firefighters can more easily deal with the fire. There may be reasons why that's a bad idea, but I think if you have a choice of fighting a fire in the open vs. in a tunnel, you should p[ick the open.
@@kevinbailey8827 I appreciate you trying to be realistic about the fire hazard, and don't get me wrong, I don't think these cars are likely to explode on a daily basis either. But "extremely unlikely to catch fire" isn't an acceptable strategy for dealing with potential risk in the 20th century. (Edit: Oops, wrong century, but it wasn't acceptable back then either). Your average library - not likely to catch fire. Does that mean we just say "don't worry about fire escapes, safety doors, sprinklers, extinguishers, it'll be fine"? Of course not. Even if it's unlikely, sure a fire could happen spontaneously. It could even be a device set off deliberately or accidentally by one of the thousands of passengers, anything that generates even smoke would necessitate every car in the tunnel to stop. And then what? Squeezing your way past other passengers and cars (with open doors) without knowing which exit is nearest (the tunnels don't even have SIGNS)? Waiting for rescue services to come - oh wait, their vehicles are too big for the tunnel, like you said. And your idea of towing a car for several hundreds yards, possibly on fire and likely not in neutral gear and possibly with damaged tires (or steering wheel not perfectly straight)... pretty adventurous. There's no need to defend this. The Boring Company skimped on safety. Any other tunnel needs to be built to a much higher safety standard, why not this one?
Tesla is working on a van with a 16 people capacity. They already have the 9'000 ton press in production for the cybertruck. So they can just use the cybertruck plateform.
The loop will be 34 miles long. There is just an insane number of stations because you don't have to stop everytime since those are point to point vehicles.

Claustrophobia inducing and a borderline trippy feeling.
@@kevinlawrence4930 I see what you did there 🤣🤣🤣
They managed to fit the cybertruck inside for Jay Leno's interview so it's really not that small.
The future is here can't wait for the whole strip to be connected.
That looks dizzying.
Tunnelvision?
That is terrifying!!!!!
Did they have to make it so tight? No shoulder?
Yes to save time and money. Which is very important if their goal is to mass produce these tunnels in the coming future.
yes, too narrow. I saw exit signs. How? you will be ran over by the AI car!
@@ferniegutierrez5605 lol so no shoulder for breakdowns, no way to get around incidents.

for all that money its home depot celing paint and a bumpy ride.
Soo, what happens when a car breaks down and or you need to evacuate your car?
Then you open the door, and you walk to the nearest exit (1/4 mile or less).
Same thing as on any other road.
The stations are only 500 meters apart, that's the advantage of a point to point system, don't need to stop at each station so more stations. No need for an emergency exit.
Hopefully the future of the commute to work. We've had to deal with poor highway engineering and traffic flow managers who can't figure how to keep lights green for decades.
So the future is even more traffic jams cause there's no way to get around a broken down car.
@@From.the.408 Not everyday
@@From.the.408 They have one accident every 4.31 million miles driven on autopilot so that's really unlikely.
And if the vehicle driving thru breaks down? 🤯
Unlikely, Tesla vehicles have one fire every 205 million miles driven versus 19 million miles for the US auto average.

Scary loop, any horror music? Great for Halloween! Need pop-out ghosts! Too white. need drawings.
They should make the cars look like a hamburger at the entrance and then they transform to a turd at the exit.
LMFAO!!!!!
That looks exactly like the loop Elon Musk imagined and promised, except of course for the tunnel, the vehicles, the capacity, and the usefulness.
The boring company (which Elon Musk is the CEO of) built this tunnel.
Tesla is working on a van with a 16 people capacity. They already have the 9'000 ton press in production for the cybertruck. So they can just use the cybertruck plateform.
That seems pointless. It’s not even really that busy or far between those to points. I wish the would have used that money to upgrade the monorail.
The loop will be 34 miles long. There is just an insane number of stations because you don't have to stop everytime since those are point to point vehicles.
I wonder what a Honda with a loud exhaust would sound like ripping through there
nice
I'm glad they had a couple of exits in case a fire or a car breaks down.
Let's hope that road rage doesn't affect this idea.
Dosent look like you can open your door in that tunnel anyway.
It's just a matter of time til someone runs to the sides of the tunnel walls.. most drivers can't keep a straight line on the roads. 😂
Will be autonomous.
I'd rather sit in traffic
and out of gas in 115 degrees heat! try that.
@@loblowry6282 Better than out of gas in the tunnel.
@@oldpunkrocker no gas car will ever go in that tunnel, so thats no problem :P
@@oldpunkrocker The stations are only 500 meters apart thought... Can walk.
Holy crap you'd think the ride would be smooth, that seemed extremely turbulent.
Teslas have a shitty, bumpy suspension systems, considering the price they charge for them.
Extremely bumpy. That and the roads here in Las Vegas are garbage.

@@MichaelInTheDesert I’m talking about the north segment that starts from Jerry’s Nugget to the AFB. It’s a shady area.
That was a Fun Rollercoaster ride.
No lights but looks lit.. strange and yes I see the lights near the road.
Sure are a lot of side scrapes for a new tunnel
Not so exciting or innovative…just a bypass tunnel with maximum car limits.
Its just the beginning. Musk will expand this to actual highways in the future
@@brownhippy Elon Musk, inventor of the underground traffic jam.
It will probably be faster to take an Uber or Lyft or taxi during a convention.
you won't find one. All occupied.
It's underground so it's additionnal capacity on top of the road. So people will use both, it's not like they traded one for the other...
Feels claustrophobic.. hard pass.
Looks like a MRI. And a closed one at that. No thanks.
I dont like how it looks thats scary
Claustrophobic
If a car breaks down in the middle
call Elon
You'll be trapped because the tunnel is too narrow.
Unlikely. One Tesla fire every 205 million miles versus 19 millions for the US average. 10 times safer.
They would tow a broken down car out, as quickly as they could. They have a tow vehicle, but there haven't been any breakdowns yet, I think.

The model X can load 5 people instead of 3, even 6 once it's autonomous.
They are also working on a van with up to 16 seats.
One car one direction at a time i s a huge fail
It has a capacity of 2'000 people per hour so one car every 5 seconds.
So it's not one direction at a time.
@@johntheux9238 bs no chance thats a marketing projection
@@Mike-pw6el They promised 4'400 people per hour for the LVCC loop and they did it.

also afaik they try to stack 7 cars currently, when demand is high enough (no need to send all of them through if there is only one occupied)
The Lincoln Tunnel is better.
That was boring.
