Watch Elon Musk's Boring Company Breakthrough Las Vegas tunnel in real Time 

@Max Power 2 thousand years later.....

Perhaps China has transmitted something good to the world- speed & accuracy in building transportation.

Jimmy Neutron Elon is practically famous for getting shit done Tesla space x and boring I love it gives me faith in humanity

@Max Power You mean for those that are brainwashed.

Anytime you get incompetent government out of the way real efficiency takes place.

Oh yeah!

it says boring comapny why would you think a dledgehammer

Axel because elon musk

I thought he was gonna come through dive bombing it in a monster truck

​@@yt-sh Oh yeah! OH NO! Naughty naughty koolaid.

Oh my god... me too! Just now! 😲 mind blown! 🤯🤯🤯 that is genius!

elmo kaan goodness gracious

What does it?

@@oppositelogic7927 the whole concept of this is boring. It's just a machine that make tunnels underground

@@dripmass ohh. It was more anticlimactic that I thought. Anyway thank you

The Shanghai River Crossing was dug for only $27M per mile though, and it has a 50 feet diameter. tunneltalk.com/TunnelTECH-Apr2015-Arup-large-diameter-soft-ground-bored-tunnel-review.php

Because they a simple and very little tunnels unlike rail tunnels.

Just a reminder how disingenuous you are when you bring up the most expensive subway system in the world in comparison with a simple small sewer-like tunnel.

@@sleptiq Sewer like indeed.

@@wcoenen difference is labor costs and quality.

Dave Garaffa gather $80k and you can be deep frozen after dead and possibly brought back to life a few thousand years in the future

Nuclear bombs, supercomputers, space travel and cloning. Not good enough for you?

Just reincarnate dude! :-D

Dave Garaffa :c

Philip Emanuele, I think it would be absolutely terrifying to wake up in the future. You go down without having any idea you’ll ever wake up

Adrian Torres don’t forget the hands 🤚🏼👋🏼👋🏼✋🏼👋🏼✋🏼👋🏼

And the are improving. And scaling.

@Howdy Justice the report says both are done (two)

sorry......yes your right Howdy, this report says one, but saw another that said both were done.

Impressive

He said it's nearly a mile and a half if you walk...is the tunnel only a kilometer and a half? Or just a little mistake if so they are digging much faster.

A big pit

A brad pit

UM... I AGREE

AHM

Uuuummmmm 🧘‍♀️

😂

Maybe he needs to join a Toastmasters Club?

I heard a rumor that he only completed half of the environmental checks and paperwork though.

No money to divert to fill their pockets. Elon should have asked them $5 billion... he would have had the green light.

Jealousy, corruption, and manipulation. the world needed a crazy rich man to show them how is done.

@Ginger Ginger what?

@Ginger Ginger Huh

@Ginger Ginger ookay

# Pretty sure “ Boring “ to be Exact. lol 😂

#superboring

Wenji Benji it’s not the machine that’s interesting as much as the implications of what it can do for us

Wenji Benji yes, because they can be found in many other videos and articles

Wenji Benji granted, if you are coming to this video without any context I imagine it would be boring

Really, people were doubting he could make a tunnel? What kind of dumbasses thought that? Making a tunnel is the easiest business he's attempted. I swear, jealous people have nothing better to do, including being alive!

Nobody said you can't dig a tunnel. A hyperloop low pressure system is the thing that looks unrealistic.

@@FritzSchober Almost everybody said the same for Tesla Electric Cars. The same for the Tunneling. The same with Space X and everything else. IMPOSSIBLE. Elon Musk just demonstrates detractors are no more than losers who just talk and do nothing. so now that man people called a crazy looser could be very soon, the more disruptive rich man of the world.

I'm not a hater I'm a Tesla investor but boring tunnels everywhere are a terrible idea. Until now companies have had to be profitable to survive but going forward they will also have to be sustainable. Thousands of tunnels are definitely not sustainable.

@@garry8390 "Thousands of tunnels not sustainable"? There are already billions (or maybe trillions?) of tunnels.. dug by.. Ants! :P Anyway we don't know the effect of it until someone make a study or something, so I don't think we should be that pessimistic. Sooner or later we'll need those breakthroughs/innovation in transportation. Also it will be a good way to test the boring techs before being used in Mars.

Hoover E Londono he’s certainly aimed that way.

Realistically speaking if he gets access to asteroid mining ( which he said he would) he wouldn't be the first Trillionaire he'd be the first quintillionaire

A real life Tony Stark he is not. Elon has a 30 word vocabulary, and is not legit.

@@77rockcity oh and you are? Too bad you aren't the Kirk Douglas that died last week, seems he actually accomplished something in his life. U probably mad bc you lost a lot of money shorting TSLA you little brain dweeb.

M L dont fall for trolls bro

It's NOT done, the whole is done, a lot more work to do yet.

And let's not forget how rough it is to dig in that desert my goodness

Sadly, the snail is no longer with us. 😢

@@neightarch :( rip snail

@@supra95ful digging in the desert is as easy as it gets. Tunneling through and under mountains at remote locations is hard, as is tunneling under bodies of water

End Vegas cabs please Elon, bloody ripoffs

I thought his name is Elon , not Will?

David it is Elon made the company.

@@Gggyyggffttt It's a joke dude.

Or ridden on

I'm guessing the answer is yes.

20% project may they learn by example!

Unless you live in or work at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Centre, it's no use to you whatsoever, lol

@@KumaBean now who says you have to work at the convention center to use it lol us locals know are way around getting what we want it's in our history 😏

20% project Steve Hill, CEO & President, Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority, @ 01:02 Until expansion is complete, these tunnels are of no use to anyone unless you're either an employee or visitor of the centre.

*Uhhhm* intensifies

No

It hurts me how underrated Orville is

Eehm, this isn't the first tunnel ever made. You know that, right?

@@klauswunderlich6169 but this one is already made significantly faster and cheaper than conventional tunnels, that's the big deal here. I believe that the boring company sees a path to at least 10 times faster and cheaper tunneling using electric boring machines, make smaller diameter tunnels, drill and apply reinforced walls at the same time, etc. If something becomes 10 times cheaper/quicker, then you can make a lot of it. A lot of tunnels can alleviate traffic problems above ground. Like the guy in the vid said, stacking roads above ground is very expensive but physics show that that's not necessarily the case underground where going deeper is barely more expensive.

@@thijsvandercaaij5968 It's nowhere near finished. Holy fuck, go find somebody who builds tunnels and talk to them. The hole is the cheap and easy part, fitting it out will take much time and expense and maintenance even more. And what will you end up with? A bottleneck of people at the entrance waiting to go a mile or so. Fucking awesome.

I cant seem to find any haters. Are you delusional per chance?

@@bryanking5358 you must not have scrolled down genius

Yeah but this isnt even quite as big of an invention as a airplane or a cellphone. It isnt even an invention he just combined a metro with personal rapid transport which are both quite old. Also not all ideas that seemed genius turned out to be genius so well have to wait

@@amberionik I never said it was as big of an invention/innovation, I just said that in the past people talk as if something is impossible and it turns out to be very very possible

@@instinctchris7155 oh sorry I missunderstood you also just to clarify i dont hate musk i think of him as a rich guy that spends his money well

You better email Elon and inform him. Im sure he hasn't calculated water into any of his ideas

It was a reenactment.

@@aschconformity7795 reenactment lol

Are you serious? Relief cuts, it's just like drilling anything but on a giant scale. If they sent the bit through without preparing the outside it would crack and chip on the exterior wall

No in fact we definitely do not need more tunnels. We need sustainable transport. Thousands of tunnels are not sustainable.

Barry Doyle who said thousands? Just make 1 loop underground that circles the entire city country or state.

@@NepNepYT eh no.

Barry Doyle eh yes.

@@NepNepYT Enjoy the bliss

I'd be as pissed as a newt. }: 0

It's sort of a proof of technology demonstration. Elon Musk (SpaceX, Tesla) wants to build tunnels like these under major cities, so instead of being stuck on a freeway at rush hour (think Los Angeles traffic!), you would just drive into an elevator for your car, go down to a tunnel and take a huge shortcut, popping up at your destination, which could be all the way on the other side of town. Fast, cheap, safe alternative to being stuck in freeways.

Of course, we wouldn't want any non-breathable fumes clogging up the tunnel.

@@CockatooDude The cars dont drive themselfs through the tunnel lol

@@jimmyfallon2484 I think they do actually. Isn't that what the goal was for this tunnel anyways? I'd be hard pressed to think that they'd want these tesla chassis based public use pods to be going around the tunnels and pay for people to drive them when they already have sufficiently advanced self driving tech for simply driving through a tunnel. All you really have to do is not crash into the walls, and that's the easiest part of self driving to solve, that's been solved for decades really.

@@CockatooDude In an animated video tesla had i saw that the car was bing koved by some sort of plate that was benearh the car but your probably roght because AI could drive the car👍

@@CockatooDude Perhaps the tunnels will be built for moving both EVs and reg gas vehicles.. Idk

No,i read that they were going to use model x vehicles

@@xxZerosumxx So a car tunnel is a new thing? I'm looking for the innovation and can't find it. Putting cars on rail transport carts will be cheaper. No need to convert AC to DC to charge batteries and DC back to AC to run the engine. They still have to put utilities in, like lighting and ventilation.

@@batner hey, dont look at me.

@@xxZerosumxx You are not selling me tunnels as innovation :-)

@@batner Shhh don't question the blind Elon fanboys. They see a tunnel breakthrough and think that's it all done. Now the hard work starts.

To use a machine like this you need a ton of water. There isn't water readily available in mars.

105 falcon heavy launches just to get it to low earth orbit

On starship with super heavy, it would be a piece of piss.

sssshhhhh Elon's a genius, don;t you dare question him.

Proboscis fraid I don’t think that’s possible

david king Will be one day, if bullet trains exist then who knows

Looks like some kind of concrete wall that was built and made for it to crash through. At least it looked like concrete. What if it crashed through early and they had to set up a reenactment lol.

It was not a concrete wall, it was stone. It was just flater on the exit, because they cut into it for the exit point.

My concern with the tunneling system is the amount of water being used after erosion control mainly ground seepage in the actual debris removal system and the penetrator itself I'd love to discuss my design Martha Turley more thoroughly not Martha Turley my design focuses on penetration of the earth but more importantly the debris ...when the debris is created in front of the penetrator how do you remove the debris if the penetrator is moving forward that is my question. I needed to see more of that machine

@Howdy Justice what part of that is confusing? The deeper you go the more load it has to bear. Why else do you think multilevel underground subways don't exist?

@Howdy Justice although my question is kinda redundant cuz we won't need to go that far underground to solve current traffic. You basic understanding of how physics works is flawed. The lower you go the higher the pressure. It doesn't matter if the Earth is thick and hard.

@Howdy Justice Nope you're wrong. Diamonds are literally created from Earth's pressure.

@Howdy Justice show your source for that please

@Howdy Justice of course it is? Please cite the source, I'm genuinely curious to read that paper

Howdy Justice are we really or are you being conditioned to think that way...

Howdy Justice well if you do the math you could take 7 billion people and put them all in America giving them each 1/4 mile land each and you would still have land left over plus you would also have the rest of the map to play with... so what’s your reasoning?

There are a few reasons to build underground. 1. You can build multiple "levels" of connecting tunnels underground since you can build in all X, Y, Z directions. Whereas above ground, you are mainly relegated to the X, Y axes. 2. It costs a lot more to build above ground. You need to factor in things like increased traffic and the accompanying economic impact for the duration of the build and potential eminant domain settlements. 3. It's safer to crash underground. If one car messes up above ground and the track gets wrecked, the entire thing can collapse.

Howdy Justice this is where it gets intresting.... why do people choose to live the way they live is it through education or are the indoctrinated to think and behave this way .. let’s also factor in the cost of moving and shipping people and stresses of life etc etc... is this the will of the people or is it imposed upon them.... straight question

Christopher hmmm I’m not sure I 100% agree .. currently we’re relying on fossil fuels and nuclear reactors for energy when cleaner energy is available... why it’s been suppressed for so long I’m not quite sure but that in itself Is a crime against humanity.. we also have the power of acoustic leviatation which opens the doors to potential freeing up the rds and whole new means of transportation... as for housing and settlements have you seen the so called ghost towns in China... housing for people is not an issue
