[@tomwojcik7896]

Sounds like a good idea, but the very concept of the system is that it's a point-to-point system, so there are thousands of route combinations. Even at a single station, there will be 50+ destinations to choose from. That's one big benefit of this system over most public transport: near point-to-point travel without changing vehicles, so way more comfortable and quicker.

[@acalinga]

This completely misses the point of reducing congestion in our cities. This is essentially like adding more lanes to already congested highways. Unless these Teslas are chained together, automated, and decentralized for public use (I.e. a train), then this further pushes our reliance on personal transportation.

[@kevinbailey8827]

It's not essentially like adding another lane. It's adding a separate lane (like an HOV Lane) and using that lane only for taxis (eventually driverless ones). The dynamics are different than adding another lane to a multilane highway, because the vehicles in the loop don't interact with vehicles outside the loop. I strongly suspect that a fully implemented loop, as they're building in the rest of the Las Vegas resort corridor, will use higher capacity vehicles. The current sedans won't go away, but you'll be able to request larger vehicles. Also, direct shuttles between hotels and the airport or the stadium will be larger and configured for carrying luggage. I haven't been to Vegas in about 20 years, but I remember cheap buffets, good deals on rental cars, and lots and lots of free parking everywhere. I understand those aren't true any more. Once the Vegas Loop is complete, you'll be able to get to most anywhere a tourist wants to go, with fares competitive with an Uber (or comped by the casinos). It will be faster and more convenient than a subway system or an Uber. You won't need to deal with a rental car or parking fees.

[@tomwojcik7896]

This is semi-personal transport, and that's a huge benefit: end-to-end trips without transfers. And what's the issue with "reliance on personal transportation" if it's affordable, clean, 10X cheaper to build than subways, comfortable and quick?

So the future of mobility is to have shuttle drivers take you through a tunnel. Not gonna lie, I was expecting a little bit more. I saw it was Teslas, and I thought they'd at LEAST be using a next-level self-driving, on a strict mapped course so they could not have drivers. Kind of like the Pneumatic Tube system at the north pole in Polar Express.

Something about Roman...

[@jeffg9612]

No way Arturo averages 300 miles per shift, even the 8 hour shifts. Speed limit is 40 mph. Even making non-stop loops at speed would only be 320 miles, but the system design requires the car to travel much slower when entering & departing the stations. Being admitted to and then exiting requires a stationary car adding significant down time-a large percentage of the over all trip with such short routes. Maybe an average of 20 mph for the shift? 100 miles per his 5 hour shift.

[@Bum_Hip]

I live in Vegas, and our taxes most certainly did not go up to build the tunnels. And it’s a couple of bucks from Resorts World to the convention center round-trip.saves a good 20 min walk. Very convenient in the harsh weather.

[@billderinbaja3883]

Nice! A comment from someone who actually uses the system, and understands the costs and benefits... as compared to the 99% ignorant comments above. Tesla haters gonna hate... so sad for you.

[@jeepneygang]

Crazy idea... Instead of having a road underground you could set up a continuous bracket that fit in between the wheels to keep them in place. You could call them... Let's say.... tracks. Then you wouldn't need a driver that was steering. Also I would widen the cars and connect them together. After that I would automate them to go around the track in intervals. That way there's no cars just sitting around. With the larger connected cars you could accommodate more people per journey. If people miss the ride don't worry! Another series of these connected track fed cars will be there shortly. ... I just described a train.

[@blackvr4tt]

You're missing the main point. These narrower tunnels are much less costly and quicker to drill. Plus they'll use self driving cars in the future.

[@haanjamiis]

But it wasn't cheaper then normal tunnel 🤣 I mean Musk told it would be, but at the end it wasn't. It was about the same cost (10-15mil/mile) and took a lot longer then it usually takes. There is so much wrong with this idea (and with hyperloop), it's laughable. Wonder how it got any investors. Then again Theranos also fooled lots of investors.

[@jeepneygang]

@@blackvr4tt they also provide a safety hazard. Do you see any emergency exits? Do you see any way for a fire truck or an ambulance to get close? Do you see fire extinguishers? Do you see ventilation? No. That's cutting corners. That's dangerous. So you have tiny tube that can be blocked up by one car with no way to drive around it. If one catches fire the tunnel will be ruined forever because the fire won't be able to be put out and it will continue to burn until every cell catches. Read Jurassic Park and equate John Hammond with Elon.

[@kevinbailey8827]

@@haanjamiis Musk didn't sell the LVCVA a tunnel at $x per mile. TBC quoted $47 million for the whole loop. In the end it cost more like $55 million (but not all of the difference went to TBC). The quote they got to build an underground train was well over $200 million. COVID-19 affected the timeframe to build the tunnels, but it also meant that the tunnel wasn't needed. It was ready in time. Construction started in October 2019, and completed in April 2021. A year and a half. This was the first commercial project for TBC. As they build the rest of the tunnels (more than 30 miles of them) for the Las Vegas Loop, they'll have more data about how quickly they can tunnel, what kinds of obstacles they have to deal with, and how much it costs. That will allow them to propose future projects for potential customers that don't rely on aspirational promises from Elon Musk. As the Vegas tunnels are brought online, they'll also be able to give operational and maintenance cost information.

This is just an expensive idiotic method to transit. There’s no traffic now because very small amount of people are using this tunnel hence small amount of vehicles. When many people starts to use this there will be tesla cars waiting in line from entrance to the central station. If you want to avoid traffic have a above ground rapid transit metro system.

[@kevinbailey8827]

This loop will likely never need more capacity than it has, because its demand is limited by the capacity of the convention center. It's only for use by people attending events at the convention center. They're building a much larger loop that will go to nearly all the casinos and to the airport and stadium. There will be a lot of people using it. The casinos will be building their own stations and they'll have a vested interest in making the stations big enough to accommodate their paying guests.

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Using regular passenger vehicles with a driver seems to completely miss the mark with the point of this system. What benefit does this have over a rail-based system? Got a frak ton more employees working on this than a 40-person single-operator train would take.

[@nightshadowblade]

Reading the same comment over and over that it doesn't make sense with drivers and I agree. But this driver explains the idea at about 6:00 in. This is just the humble beginnings, in the future there will be longer tunnels, where you can drive 100 mph or more and it will be fully autonomous. It's not just about driving straight through tunnels, it's also about watching out for humans and other cars, getting in and out of pickup bays, waiting the right amount of time for seats to fill etc., that's why it isn't autonomous yet. Also, the people have to get used to it, it has to sink in, into the collective consciousness of humanity, if you will, until it becomes totally normal and everyone knows how it works. Of course buses and trains can transport more people at the same time, but they get pretty congested, some folks like to empty their bladders inside them etc. and oftentimes they drive with only a few people inside, wasting energy and money. Trains also take quite a long time to accelerate and decelerate, while making loud screeching noises doing the latter. Train tracks have to be maintained, bigger and much more costly tunnels, that take years instead of months to build, are required etc. Tesla may come up with a mini-bus-like solution for the Loop tunnels in the future, where maybe 8-12 people can sit comfortably. The Model X can already transport up to 7 people, a specialized autonomous Loop bus wouldn't have to be that much bigger to carry 8-12, basically 3 or 4 rows for up to 3 each, no driver.

[@AardvarkDK]

In the future everyone will teleport between locations, so why bother with tunnels?

[@nightshadowblade]

@@AardvarkDK That's a good one. On a serious note though, there is quite a bit of a difference here. Autonomous cars in tunnels are realistic within 5-10 years, teleportation will probably take us hundreds of years to master in the future and you may not always want to do it for everything, so transportation may still be required even then.

[@AardvarkDK]

[@nightshadowblade]

​@@AardvarkDK I was a bit conservative with 5-10, there will probably be autonomous Loop cars operating in about 1-3 years, but nothing too big or fancy. From what I heard they are basically awaiting regulatory approval and as soon as that comes in they are pretty much ready to go within a year or so. The Semi is going into mass production this year, exact specs will be released this year for sure. So far it looks like it can carry about 44k pounds + trailer, straps etc. for 800 miles at about 55 mph. The delay was 3 years, not a decade, part of it due to Covid and the parts shortage. The Cybertruck will most likely come out at the end of this year, with real mass production starting in 2024. Of course they won't be able to sell them at the originally intended prices anymore, after all that has happened around the world in the last 3 years but other than that they will offer pretty much what was promised at the event in 2019.

I think that is amazing. Never heard of it before now. What if there's a crash in a tunnel?

[@davidmccarthy6061]

That's why they have their own drivers, and each leg is a mile at the most, and one way. Also smooth walls that doesn't cause more than skin damage.

[@Malc664]

@@davidmccarthy6061 Yeah, that's good. And I suppose breakdowns are sorted easily. Maybe pushed out with a cushioned truck

[@kevinbailey8827]

@@Malc664 They have procedures for dealing with breakdowns. They practice the procedures. The drivers are required to show that they can drive through the tunnels in reverse in case they need to evacuate. But my understanding is that there haven't been any crashes or breakdowns in real life, so far.

So single lane tunnels with no ventilation or emergency exits are the future? If one of those cars catch fire everyone will be blocked in and will be blind with all of the smoke.

Sure are a lot of whiners in the comments. Shouldn't have to point out that this is in a very early infancy type stage and clearly doesn't represent the final 'product'. How successful this will be isn't written yet, so we'll see, but to look at something at this stage and declare it a failure or dumb is simply foolish.

[@Eden-NoEye]

The theoretical potential is also not great, an automated underground train would be better suited for this use case.

[@gnarglig8161]

It's not the infancy. It's a giant hole in the ground. We've been digging giant holes in the ground since the beginning of humanity. There's nothing new about any of this, it's there just to promote Tesla's brand name and sponge more money. We would've better spent money on a rail system in it, or smarter traffic management systems with current infrastructure. This is has been a waste.

[@JT_771]

@@Eden-NoEye The cost to do a train is MUCH higher. Trains only make sense in situations that can justify that kind of massive expenditure. Something like this, then, only makes sense in situations where something like a train isn't feasible.
