There's nothing BORING about Elon Musk's Boring Company! 

Her freckles are too adorbs to cover up!

Piling on makeup is so gross, natural is the way! Lol

it iritates me more that her voice was not recorded in sterio

Personally, I think no makeup looks better. You don’t look bad with makeup, but better without

@@donwyattaz agree, no makeup is best.

Tesla inc just registered for the trademark "The Greatest Car Ever." Very, very interesting. Brilliant marketing move.

Seismic movement is much reduced when moving within the earth. Because the surface is unconstrained it is free to move. Thus the safest place to be in an earthquake is underground, and the design of underground structures for earthquake tolerance is easier than surface structures that are free to shake with large amplitude. Of course, how to handle a tunnel collapse needs to be thought thru and prepared for.

Our two main weapons are fear and surprise. And ruthless efficiency. :) No, our three main weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency, and a fanatic dedication to the Pope. No, our four main weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency, and a fanatic dedication to the Pope, and our nice red cloaks. No..... I'll start again. The Spanish Inquisition aside, it's difficult and expensive enough to build such things for trains, never mind cars. What happens in a thunder storm, or when a drunk driver f's up on their way to or from the casinos where they lose all their money? And now let's all do it in a vacuum. I was hoping Ellie wasn't going to go so far as the hyperloop. Not even Monty Python could swallow that one.

Tesla EVs catch fire 61x less than ICE cars and 137x less than hybrids according to the NTSB, and the new BYD LFP Blade batteries in the latest Teslas don’t even catch fire if you puncture them. In the extremely unlikely event of a fire, there is a comprehensive smoke suppression system that can move 400,000 cubic feet of air per minute in either direction down the tunnels, smoke and CO sensors and cameras everywhere, a Fire Control Centre staffed by 2 officers during all hours of operation, high pressure automatic standpipes in all tunnels for fire-fighting, an automatic sprinkler system rated at Extra Hazard Group 1 in the central station etc above and beyond what was required by the national and international fire codes including NFPA 130 - “Standard for Fixed Guideway Transit and Passenger Rail Systems” and the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC).

@@andrewfranklin4429 So nothing. Nothing to stop fires in the tunnels. Great. One accident and the whole human race dies. Thanks Elon.

​@@davidbeppler3032 On the contrary, in the very unlikely event of a fire, there is a high capacity 400,000 cubic feet per minute ventilation system that extracts all smoke from the tunnels in either direction, high pressure automatic stand pipes in every tunnel for fire fighting, cameras, CO and smoke sensors everywhere, a fire control centre staffed by two officers during all hours of operation, extra hazard rated sprinklers in the underground station, fire extinguishers in all EVs, electric fire carts for transporting fire-fighters to any incident and the walls of the tunnels are rated to withstand a completely unfought high intensity lithium fire if needed.

You just walk out, it isn’t complicated.

If a vehicle has a fire, the cars in front keep going forward. The cars behind reverse. If a tunnel doesn't have an emergency exit/service area, then it's because the stations are so close that those are irrelevant and no longer legally required. That's the case with the LVCC Loop. And all tunnels have/will have a massive ventilation system and fire detection system. They not only get approval from the local fire department, but they also test the safety of the system with both fire fighters and police, improving the system as needed.

@@anthonypelchat I haven't rode in this tunnel myself but a friend of mine was stuck in the tunnel for half an hour and he would have arrived sooner if he had walked. This configuration is really a prototype but it still has many flaws that allow for conventional traffic jams. And a battery fire is nothing to scoff at in a tunnel the vehicle would not be moving at all and firefighters would have a nightmare trying to put it out. I have stock in Tesla I love Tesla I wish I could afford a Tesla. But there are some problems with the technology. .

@@serronserron1320 That friend of yours lied. There has not been any traffic jams with this system. The only "traffic jam" so far was a roughly 1 min delay during a short period of time during a single day during CES this year. It caused a roughly 3 min ride to take just over 4 mins from start to finish. And it was due to driver failure during special circumstances for COVID restrictions. The SEMA event last year carried even more people without any issue at all. There has not been a single ride lasting 5 mins. 30 mins is impossible with the current system. As for fires, I never said that they were nothing. They are so extremely unlikely to happen in the tunnel as to be virtually impossible. But that doesn't matter. TBC is fully prepared for such a situation. They have passed all safety requirements for transit tunnels in the US. Further, they have ran dozens of drills with the local police and fire departments who have evaluated and signed off on the system. If nearly all safety officials in the city have agreed that something is safe, who are you to say otherwise?

@@serronserron1320 It is probably wrong to say that your friend lied. It is more likely simply a misunderstanding with either them or you. Your friend was likely stuck in a tunnel somewhere for 30 mins, maybe even in Vegas. But it was not the LVCC Loop nor the Resort World Loop, since that one just opened.

Definitely. If not 100%, pretty close to it. There's absolutely no reason for sleeping quarters, routine transit, or most routine work spaces being aboveground on the Moon or on Mars - and as you say one very big reason (radiation) for them to be underground. Of course going underground also moderates temperatures, avoiding extremes.

I have the same issue. It sounds and feels awful. Makes me not want to watch and I'm a huge fan of Ellie.

My da Vinci for some reason keeps defaulting to mono instead of stereo, I am sorry everyone!

I wonder if in the event of some sort of emergency if a sink hole could happen?

😂😄

Made me dizzy.

Nobody has ever claimed it’s original. The key USP is cheaper/faster by simply boring a smaller diameter. The massive reduction in cost make construction without public funding viable. That’s the game changer.

@@fredbloggs5902 It is not stated that it is origional but the advantages of underground transportation are presented as if it were a new idea

@@markhorton3994 I clearly stated the USP, it’s not my fault that you’re incapable of understanding it.

Lol. A "pod" that seats 4 and can hit speeds over 140mph? And it's autonomous? That is a Tesla with FSD, which is the plan for all TBC tunnels.

I agree with a lot of your points, even though they do come across rather biased. For the purpose it is for Loop may be a good system, but comparing Loop to public transport subway makes no sense, the convention center Loop is for people visiting conventions only and the Vegas Loop will not serve any residential locations, so it is only for tourists, not locals, and doesn't solve any traffic problem in Las Vegas, it will just put some taxi drivers out of business. So while it costs zero tax dollars, it also has zero benefits for tax payers, it only benefits TBC, LVCC and the casinos. The LVCC Loop was paid for by LVCC, in parts if TBC met certain targets. The speed is currently limited to 30 in curved and 40 on straight sections. The wait times are only that low when it is not busy, at CES 2022 when they had more than 60 cars running, traffic jams occurred in the tunnels, I guess because there are not enough parking spots in the stations to handle all the cars. There have also been cases recorded where going by foot was faster than via the Loop. They can only handle the required 4400 passengers per hour in controlled settings, but in uncontrolled settings the max has been 1355 passengers per hour. A typical metro train can transport 1000 people at once, but the "crammed standing" would only occur during peak hours. In most cases there would be enough seats available on a metro train. Also, for a system like this, you could do with light railway system. Screeching steel wheels shouldn't have to be an issue. I would rather sit in a metro train where I can move around, than in a Tesla or other small "pod" with strangers. Kept safe with seat belts? I would be more worried about the apparent lack of safety features in the tunnel themselves, if you look at the safety regulations for metro or car tunnels, I don't even understand how they can run these tunnels. Metro trains also are unlikely to crash in to each other.

@@Gerard1971 it's the same safety measures as metro, except you don't have to hop over high voltage live contact rail.

Boring’s tunnels have air extraction, the ducting can be clearly seen at the end of the tunnel ( 01:24 ).

actually your 2nd or 3rd 😂

Comparing a pair of 14’ diameter concrete tunnels with industrial mining operations is utterly ridiculous.

If they see the car in front stopped then they know it and stop themselves, it isn’t rocket science 🤣 Breakdowns with EVs will be virtually non existent, especially in the controlled environment of a tunnel.

There is WiFi and cellular service throughout the tunnels. Every part of the tunnels is under video surveillance. The cars each have a second screen that’s custom for the loop. I assume they can get messages there. I saw a video where a driver said they would turn the tunnel lights solid red as a signal to drivers to keep the tunnel entrance clear for drivers in the tunnel to reverse out.

Nobody has ever claimed having a human driver is ‘the future’. Long term the vehicles will be fully autonomous.

@@fredbloggs5902 even if the were autonomous, a tunnel for a 4 passenger... There is nothing extraordinary about this, this is not mass transit

@@bovo698 the advantage over ‘mass transit’ is it’s point to point. And when they scale to 12x passenger autonomous the throughput will be considerably higher.

@@fredbloggs5902 how is it point to point if you have to build a tunnel and have stations? It won't have a tunnel from my house to the market

What’s the point? 1) EVs are 3x more efficient 2) EVs have zero emissions in the tunnel 3) ICE engines are noisier 4) LPG is much more dangerous in the event of an accident

They are open, it's just the stations don't run 24/7, only when there is a convention going on.

@@ellieinspace Oh, I see. Any plans to make them run 24/7?

They had talked about that but I never heard anyone about it. I did see a tower that was built with them but crickets since then.
