Has musk ever made any further tunnels other than the Las Vegas one? Is the boring company completely dead, or are they still pretending to do something?

Gonna call bullshit on this one. If it was so notorious, Elon would've programmed the car to account for it. Also you're not supposed to put 4 people in a car, that's on you for voiding the warranty.

As far as I know, they put in low bids to get contracts, then fail to build tunnels in order to prevent mass transit from being implemented instead. So Elon is basically Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit. [Edit] On further thought, being a toon in an ill-fitting human suit might explain some things. TVs Ian fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Jan 3, 2023 |

They're failing to dig tunnels and not getting sued into oblivion because all government contracts are toothless as gently caress.

Wasn't The Boring Company marketing trying to hype up the idea that they had found some new way to dig tunnels that was much faster a few years ago? Like, they had found a non-defined way to use far more power while tunneling or some nonsense? I swear I remember hearing about it a lot a few years ago and then not a word since the Las Vegas tunnel opened.

They did appear to have improved tunnel boring some, but the problem remained that tunnels are still a massive headache and cars in tunnels just lead to traffic jams in tunnels.

They claimed to be able to dig 10s of times faster than normal methods, but all of the advanced techniques they described were techniques already in use, so nobody could work out how.

they didn't improve poo poo, they just made a bunch of claims that were completely disconnected from reality. there's a reason why the tunnel stuff is totally DOA

When was the last time there was any sort of breakthrough in how to bore tunnels? The Channel Tunnel between England and France? I'm not an expert on the subject, but I think since then all we've got is marginal improvements on existing techniques/technology.

The channel tunnel was 5 miles per year. Vegas loop 0.5 miles per year. Digging speed

I imagine they tested their non-innovative methods on a simple sample area and thought they could just apply that broadly without accounting for other sediment types because if there’s one think Musk companies seem to be bad at, it’s extrapolating time estimates for anything.

FreeRangeHexagon posted:yeah, but there have to be differences in the geology that make it not a 1 to 1 comparison, plus one tunnel had an English Channels worth of seawater on top of it, which is its own engineering challenge that probably slowed down construction. Anyway, my point was that *I think* the Channel Tunnel was the first time modern TBMs had been used on such a large project, and since then we've just been getting improved versions of what is fundamentally the same sort of machine. 5 miles per year with older tech and more engineering challenges... did you even read the post youre quoting

Mynameismud posted:The channel tunnel was 5 miles per year. Yes, but the Vegas Tunnel (or Vunnel) is meant for a single Tesla. The Chunnel takes multiple trains. So really, you should be adjusting that dig rate to compare miles per year per Tesla.

Is there a good reason the Vegas Tunnel was that much slower. Because I know that tunnelling projects in places like New York and London tend to be super slow because those cities have a huge maze of tunnels, pipes, and cables beneath them, so you have to be super careful not to hit anything. I don't think Vegas has anything of similar scale. But I don't want to dunk on Elon if there actually is a legit reason why the tunnel took so long.

Maybe they were tunnelling through something bastard hard and heterogenous? I dunno what Vegas geology is like.

Wasn't it bored that slow to keep the hyperloop . . . hype going for as long as possible? What I heard (grain of salt) was that they wanted to kill any public transit alternatives in the works, so completing the tunnel quickly would make it very apparent that the hyperloop wouldn't solve anything, and new public transit was still needed. With it going on for so long, new initiatives in public transit were stalled and abandoned because, "the hyperloop is coming any day now", so money that could have been allocated to trains, busses, etc. were used elsewhere. Just what I heard, don't cite me.

Because it's America, and public transit is for commie-homo-hippies, and everyone who has the power to take him to task is getting paid to make sure public transit never really takes off.
