If the Boring Company could dig tunnels cheaper and/or faster then other tunnel companies then it would mean something. The warming climate has already resulted in heavier rain falls that overstress existing flood control infrastructure. If more storm tunnels could be made economically by BT then it would be very useful and stand to make a fortune.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Those tiny death tunnels actually do seem better suited to utility infrastructure over traveling. A tiny constrained tunnel that a car can barely go through just isn't safe. People say Musk is a genius, but he sure dropped the ball thinking those constrained tunnels will be everywhere, acceptable, or Hyperloop would ever be economically viable. Anyway great point. If it does go faster, and is cheaper? It could be awesome for many cities. Having the ability to go further below would be great too. Let us get some milimeter wave drilling into the Boring Company too. Using microwaves to blast a hole seems something like Elon would do.

Pretty sure you’re right - though Prufrock is smaller than most other machines, that probably gives it an advantage in maneuvering

[@davidsalisbury50]

They kind of all have. It’s minor launch modification to a medium size EPB TBM. Most tunnels don’t have the space to do this due to other constraints around them.

[@MegaWilderness]

Strange how the channel tunnel is not a straight line

[@davidsalisbury50]

@@MegaWilderness The channel tunnel (like many tunnels) followed the favorable ground conditions wherever it could. Chalk marl is a fairly ideal material for tunnel excavation. It is a soft rock that is largely self-supporting and easily excavated. Much of it is dry, however the channel tunnel did encounter large sections that were fractured and water bearing. The French side had to pass through sections that were much more challenging near the portal until it could reach down to the chalk marl, this required the use of Earth Pressure Ballance TBM's (like TBC) and fully watertight segmental lining for the first several kilometers. In an urban environment there are usually other physical constraints that largely dictate the alignment (foundations, other tunnels, land rights, operational radius constraints etc.)

[@JohnBoen]

I think a circuit board would be a good analog for the factory. Electrical connections represent the flow of incomplete products, components represent processes, etc There are times when a jumper to one place in the board allows you to greatly simplify the rest of the circuit board. They could have developed a network of tunnels that allow for general transportation of components a layer below...

open ai is not integrated into the apple os, any time it is used it notifies you and you have to approve. additionally the majority of ai computing is done on device and any time it has to go to the cloud to compute it notifies and have to approve, plus it then is only sent anonymously to private secure apple servers and never stored in any fashion. apple takes security very seriously, a LOT more than google/android and microsoft does!

In a fevered dream I had this weird vision of a possible future: Instead of boring under freeways like we've always done, in some dystopian yes-man future, they put a cheap BRIDGE over said freeway. I know. As I said, I had a fever at the time, so...

It is very hard to build a bridge without any disturbance of the traffic. A tunnel can be produced being totally independent from the surface.

[@donquique1]

​@tcfs not always. I design tunnels for a living. Sometimes the pits make traffic worse.

[@Trial-N-ErrorFarms-jk9iz]

Boring will allow them to build COMPLETE HIGHWAYS UNDER THE FREEWAY. Imagine a highway BYPASSING A CITY LIKE ATLANTA OR DC. No more having to go through BS city traffic if you are passing through. Underground freeways with electric vehicles won't have the same air quality problems as they would today. And the leftists might get their train from DC to SF... Just underground.

I don't care which, but everyone should be aware there is an inherent danger in joining cults. Not least when you throw all your money into a plummeting stock.

[@marccracchiolo4935]

I like that in their construction of buildings and other infrastructure they are thinking in 3D. Boring under is something we should have done a long time age but it just wasn’t cost effective or technically feasible. Bigger TBM and better urban planning mean a lot of old infrastructure is going to get moved improved and front end installed. There will be billions spent on these upgrades in our cities and that means thousands of jobs. Win win win!

[@koosto902]

Thanks!

[@simonscofield8825]

My question is this - that tunnel looks mighty tight and being a model Y owner myself i can tell you that kerbs are not your friend with the wheels on any tesla!! The number of badly scratched wheels i have seen on teslas is incredible as the rims extend beyond the tyres so will hit before the tyre does. So my question is how much space does the tunnel allow for the wheels as it looks mighty easy for a scrape along as it travels along the tunnel, especially around a corner...!!

[@greatcondor8678]

12 or 18 feet in diameter. Plenty of room with gentle entry and exit curves. Instead of humans driving the service road, cars will use self drive in the tunnel.

Wouldn't it be great if the boring machine could work forward or backwards (with a few changes). That way, the machine could dig a tunnel. Move over and dig another tunnel in parallel without the need to turn around. Cool? Most tunnel systems require two tunnels for two way traffic. So, why not a boring designed for dual tunnel systems?

why no (model Y) refresh this year?? My own little guess. From the research I "see" being done. (I gotta go by the same "news" you all see. I'm not in the IEEE no more). But a new battery technology will emerge soon. The model Y will debut it (probably). That part is the only logic I can "see". This current battery charges to slow, and the (20%) limit on each end of the charge is to much waste. There will be "something" else. What? I'm not into chemical engineering. Just enough to know I'd be stupid to make a hypothesis here.

"If Elon already owns a tunnel digging operation why not dig some tunnels?" because that's self dealing, which is a form of embezzlement, which is a crime. Executives at a company have a fiduciary duty to the shareholders to not misspend company assets, even if they are the majority shareholder. Musk currently owns 13% of the shares outstanding, but 100% of the money they spent on that tunnel went into his pocket.

I assume he got permission to dig a tunnel under a highway? Also there was mention he didn't want to tunnel through a new floor, but I wonder if that tunneling machine could do that, from the snap shots it seems like they soaked the ground pretty heavily as the machine broke through, like they were softening up the dirt.

[@TheTeslaSpace]

Definitely got permission, they have dug underneath public roads a few times now in Vegas and at their test site outside of Austin, never had a problem. Water is probably just to stop it from kicking up dust. The machine shoots out a foam as it digs, it's kind of like soap but more toxic, I think it works like a lubricant

[@joelstiffler5137]

It is a common practice in mining and tunneling to frequently spray water to hold down dust in the area that would cause a respiratory hazard for workers.

I testing to see the ground heave slightly behind the TBM, that the annulus grout pushing up, they turn it off pretty quick at that point to stop it making a big mess.
