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?
Hi, anyone have experience of what the hiring process is like for welders? Like how is the test and all that, thanks!
Does anyone have any experience interviewing with Boring Company for mechanical engineering role?? Looking for any inputs and help with preparing for the interview. What were the questions asked? The interview process and number of rounds kinda stuff. Thanks for sharing!!
The RoboVan is probably designed specifically for operations in the Boring Company smooth surface Tunnels. https://youtu.be/6ynYRRPAz0o?si=H9KbHoAYT6LDtPtj

With much of Black Mountain, NC being destroyed, I wonder if the boring machine could be used to go through the mountain? Would have to be at least two lanes and possibly four for traffic.
I was looking for the email with the link where I can enter my order number and email to get the status of my Burnt Hair package, but can't seem to find it. Does someone have the link? Thanks !!
I am looking at applying to TBC but have read a lot of reviews online about the horrible work place culture. The reviews are fairly old so I am wondering if things are starting to get better? I am looking at their vegas location.
While not "directly" Vegas Loop, Las Vegas Airport (Harry Reid International) is showing off a proposed modernization plan that includes 2 "multimodel" passenger facilities. Creates a logical place for Vegas Loop stations. (or if you are a real dreamer, Monorail stations). https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/goodbye-terminal-3-plan-would-expand-las-vegas-airport-rename-existing-terminal/
Hi, I may a job opportunity at Boring and I’m a bit confused. The person who may want to hire me there said I could work completely remote, but he would have to move to either Austin or Vegas. But, I know how Elon feels about WFH so I’m wondering if the boring company is in the same boat as his other companies. I just can’t move to Vegas or Austin right now, it would be great if it is remote, but i’m concerned I would accept the offer there and then it switches up and I am forced to move there. it’s just a lot to move for one role and I have family stuff I need to stay here where I currently live for. I would be working in HR if I were to accept the role there. I’m just curious if anyone here has experiences with working at The Boring Company in general. I know I should be asking the person that wants to hire me, but I just want to know what i’m getting myself into
edit: i decided against it, but thanks for the helpful comments! was too hesitant about it
I see a lot of people talking about how FSD doesn't work in the boring company tunnels. One thing that people are missing is that the evacuation plan for the tunnels involves some drivers reversing out of the tunnels. This is so important that the drivers are required to drive through the tunnels backwards before they are allowed to operate the Teslas.
At present, FSD does not have the ability to drive in reverse apart from backing into and out of parking spaces. That feature is supposed to be coming next month, and there is really no way they would be allowed operate the vehicles driverlessly in the tunnels without it.
