I went to the Vegas loop. . . and now saw the Boring Bodega.

What is the goal of this company now?

It just feels like this company has burnt atleast 100 Million dollars and brought us absolutely nothing of value.

I know when Toronto did their Eglington West extension tunneling they had an online tracker for where Rexy and Renny were currently digging. Be interesting if Boring Company did something similar.

Quite impressive implementation of FSD driving Teslas from production to the yards in the confines of the factory lot. So the questions is does this bode well for an implementation in the Loop?

We can hope…

Setup begins January 10, 2024

Digging begins April 3, 2024

Tunnel opens January 28, 2025

Is there a good up to date map of the open tunnels and stations?

Based on earlier posts it seems that the Riviera station is really the first major interchange station. (I guess technically LVCC Center hall can go either direction but that is nor really what I mean).

Riviera has I think 2 tunnels to Westgate. One tunnel to Resorts World, and two tunnels to the LVCC West station. (I am unclear if I am correct in this assessment). There is a gate and light to control access to the Resorts World tunnel, since it is 'single tracked' such that it is right now.

Here is the Google Maps image I borrowed for another question.

You can see the very nice entrance from the surface for the Resorts world tunnel and the tunnels down for the other two routes. (I numbered them 1 for Resorts World, 2 for LVCC West, and 3 for Westgate).

I have been trying to watch the Google Maps imaging, but clearly that did not update often enough. But it really looked like they porpoised down for Resorts World, then again for the other tunnels. But somehow they have an underground intersection.

The OpenWeb imaging at the Clark County site is more up to date, and you can see a more updated view of the site.

There is a video on BlueSky (https://bsky.app/profile/jrurbanenetwork.bsky.social/post/3lgk5eyu5ws2u) that shows a car driving through, waiting for access to the Resorts World tunnel and waiting.

You can clearly see the underground complex in this screen shot I grabbed.

Did they build that and I never saw the photos and new tunnels porpoised down into the intersection space, since that is how the launch their borers, and then they removed the tunnel segments that follow it from the surface? Flattening out, once they are in the interchange box?

It looks like Bing and Google has similar satellite source photos. They are a bit older and show what I think are three or four tunnel entrances.

Taken from Google Maps

I think the one I labelled 1, is headed to Encore, doing the loop North then south.

I think the one I labelled 2 is the short run to the LVCC West station.

The one I labelled 3 is probably going to Westgate.

I am curious what the site looks like now, and how the tunnels are really laid out.

Current Vegas Loop public stations:

• Resorts World
• Westgate
• Encore (opening in 2025)

Had a random thought and maybe this sub good place to ask.

I was wondering instead of drilling with diamond, has anyone tried using high pressure water to break up the soil and rocks to cut through the ground?

What do we expect to see operations wise at CES

Will we see RoboVan & CyberCab operating?

Will we see FSD unsupervised with remote operations back up?

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm visiting Las Vegas next week and would like to ride in the Boring tunnel. From what I've heard it's only for convention center attendees and you need to show a ticket - but if I'm not attending a conference can I still pay and ride? And what if a conference is not taking place, no luck?

With the likelyhood for the loop to be at full capactiy during a football game day what would be max capacity for the loop ?

Alligent stadium 60k+ people (ball park figure) how many could be transported during an hour? The loop at that point would be mostly built out possibly even Robovan will be built.

Would LV Loop need a 2 nd or 3 rd loop layered under existing ones?

LA will have Olympics in 4 years if everything suddenly goes well at The Boring Company possibly most of the tunnels will be completed. ( Yes wishful thinking)

You know my question, but here is the back story. Dating back almost 75 years, autonomous transportation systems such as are seen at Heathrow Airport (London, UK) Terminal 5, have existed, and a few remain in service today, even if they are underutilized, clunky, and dated due to the equipment they were built with, and not having been substantially updated.

The important element is that they all utilize driverless pods of some sort. The only real difference between them and The Vegas Loop is they have pods, whereas the VL uses Tesla Model 3s. The other's pods tend to have a higher capacity of riders, more space, can be alwaked into, and many, due to the time they were put into service, are quite slow, but the VL is hardly speedy.

The other systems are generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays, etc. and most importantly, are DRIVERLESS. Not the VL!

So, what's the holdup? Is the Elon too busy playing with this stupid rockets to nowhere, or making robots that can walk like Boston Dynamic's robots were able to OVER A DECADE AGO?

Just asking, because I am wondering what the sycophants have to say.

Is there any where online that has an updated map of what stations are open, I’m going to CES for the first time next month and really looking forward to finally trying out the LVCC loop

I ordered it such a long time ago, they gave me a tracking code that shows it's be rerouted by fedex but it never went far, nobody is answering me at BoringCompany or Fedex, what am I supposed to do? Did I get scam?

The title. It's been like what, months since the construction ended, and even Tesla is already going around. But it's not open yet for SEMA 2024, what's things preventing it to be operational now?
