Like several analysts have said, Musk basically “discovered” the concept of a subway, only much shittier.

Sooooo they want to make a Subway in Vegas. A Subway that takes up more space and seats less people, than a normal Subway. Wouldn't it be cheaper (and you know, better) to just have a big building, that you could maybe park your car in. Then be driven around in a tram that could also go into this tunnel (I'm talking…

If they stripped it back to the initial aim, namely developing earth-boring technology take can churn out tunnels significantly faster than we can now, it’d probably do fine. I’m 100% behind burying critical infrastructure, be it electrical, network, utilities, etc all the way up to the interstates, especially within…

PREDICTION

Even if you buy the idea that this is a cost-effective plan to alleviate traffic congestion & is a thing people actually want (I do not count myself among that tiny cohort), does Elon's company have any special technology or approach that would make them a better candidate for this job than some construction/civil…

No. I think we’re in hubris vanity project territory here.

“this is simple and just works.”

How we got to this point:

Elon Musk sure loves making stuff that kills people

It’s the Las Vegas Monorail, not the Disneyland Monorail. It’s never been full of people. 

Boring company just looks like a quick cash grab at this point, complete vaporware in pursuit of startup-funding contract vehicles. Musk has learned well from his experiences with space travel how to manipulate the government in bids, and Boring company is basically a beltway bandit company in pursuit of that big…

Just like area 51, they can't stop all of us

It'll actually be kind of exciting when it causes the monorail to collapse with a bunch of people on board. 

The first over-the-air update will cause all cars to play “It’s a Small World” on an endless loop every time you enter one of these tunnels. Animated uncanny valley children will stare at you from the screen with lifeless eyes while singing along.  

Elon Musk a liar? I don't believe it. What's next, you'll say he baselessly accuses folks of pedophilia?

The Boring Company makes a boring tunnel

I too will be going with a conservative palette - orange with blue interior. And the giant wing option. :)

Oh they’ll build them...last. It’ll be the tail end of the production run so that the people who are in the “GOTTA HAVE IT NOW” mentality end up paying more. the patient ones can have them cheaper.

Even though the standard 1LT-trim Vette doesn’t get heated seats
