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.

[@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.)

I think a circuit board would be a good analog for the factory.

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...!!

"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.

Musk currently owns 13% of the shares outstanding, but 100% of the money they spent on that tunnel went into his pocket.
