Frankly, it sounds like another opportunity for Musk to get his hands on some more government money.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoNo other city has constructed tunnels like this or funded them in this manner. The non-obvious differences are that Boring Co tunnels are smaller and unventilated, making them faster and cheaper to construct. The limitation is that this prevents combustion engine vehicles from using the tunnels. Im not aware of any other electric only car tunnels built. On the funding side, the innovation is that the cities simply provide the permits and the casinos and Boring co pay for it. It is like constructing private above ground roads, but without the logistics challenges. It will be interesting to see how it works out.
