Wow. It doesn't take 20 years when someone actually wants to get it done.... Imagine that.
@Max Power 2 thousand years later.....
Perhaps China has transmitted something good to the world- speed & accuracy in building transportation.
Jimmy Neutron Elon is practically
famous for getting shit done Tesla space x and boring I love it gives me faith in humanity
@Max Power You mean for those that are brainwashed.
Anytime you get incompetent government out of the way real efficiency takes place.
was half expecting elon musk to break through that hole with a sledgehammer but ok
Oh yeah!
it says boring comapny why would you think a dledgehammer
Axel because elon musk
I thought he was gonna come through dive bombing it in a monster truck
@@yt-sh Oh yeah! OH NO! Naughty naughty koolaid.
Ended up waking in middle of the night finally getting what boring meant
Oh my god... me too! Just now! 😲 mind blown! 🤯🤯🤯 that is genius!
elmo kaan goodness gracious
What does it?
@@oppositelogic7927 the whole concept of this is boring. It's just a machine that make tunnels underground
@@dripmass ohh. It was more anticlimactic that I thought. Anyway thank you
Just a reminder of how great a deal this is. The NYC 2nd avenue subway cost 2.5 billion dollars for 1 mile of tunnel. The boston Green line extension cost 2 billion dollars for 3 miles of track.
Elon's boring project cost 50 million for 1 mile of tunnel.
The Shanghai River Crossing was dug for only $27M per mile though, and it has a 50 feet diameter. tunneltalk.com/TunnelTECH-Apr2015-Arup-large-diameter-soft-ground-bored-tunnel-review.php
Because they a simple and very little tunnels unlike rail tunnels.
Just a reminder how disingenuous you are when you bring up the most expensive subway system in the world in comparison with a simple small sewer-like tunnel.
@@sleptiq Sewer like indeed.
@@wcoenen difference is labor costs and quality.
Glad to be alive and witness this - sad at what things I might might not see 50 years from now....
Dave Garaffa gather $80k and you can be deep frozen after dead and possibly brought back to life a few thousand years in the future
Nuclear bombs, supercomputers, space travel and cloning. Not good enough for you?
Just reincarnate dude! :-D
Dave Garaffa :c
Philip Emanuele, I think it would be absolutely terrifying to wake up in the future. You go down without having any idea you’ll ever wake up
I love they cut off the cliché at the end. Ain't nobody got time for that.
t/c
They started boring the 53 million dollar project on Nov 15 believe and were supposed to be finished in March......but finished Feb 14.
Each tunnel is about 1.5 km long x 2 = 3 km in about 90 days ? .......that's about 33 m per day.....not bad.
And the are improving. And scaling.
@Howdy Justice the report says both are done (two)
sorry......yes your right Howdy, this report says one, but saw another that said both were done.
Impressive
He said it's nearly a mile and a half if you walk...is the tunnel only a kilometer and a half? Or just a little mistake if so they are digging much faster.
1 “um” per sq foot
Adrian Torres don’t forget the hands 🤚🏼👋🏼👋🏼✋🏼👋🏼✋🏼👋🏼
“We dug a big pit.”
-Elon Musk
A big pit
A big pit
A big pit
A brad pit
A pig dit
El Chapo built tunnels twice this fast!
I heard a rumor that he only completed half of the environmental checks and paperwork though.
If you say "um" one more damn time... I'll never visit Vegas again
UM...
I AGREE
AHM
Uuuummmmm 🧘♀️
😂
Maybe he needs to join a Toastmasters Club?
The Boring Company was selected to build an 18 mile high speed tunnel from O'Hare to the Chicago Loop for free. Politics killed the project.
No money to divert to fill their pockets.
Elon should have asked them $5 billion... he would have had the green light.
Jealousy, corruption, and manipulation. the world needed a crazy rich man to show them how is done.
@Ginger Ginger what?
@Ginger Ginger Huh
@Ginger Ginger ookay
#Not that boring
# Pretty sure “ Boring “ to be Exact. lol 😂
#superboring
Wenji Benji it’s not the machine that’s interesting as much as the implications of what it can do for us
Wenji Benji yes, because they can be found in many other videos and articles
Wenji Benji granted, if you are coming to this video without any context I imagine it would be boring
where are the haters that said he will never do it?
Really, people were doubting he could make a tunnel? What kind of dumbasses thought that? Making a tunnel is the easiest business he's attempted. I swear, jealous people have nothing better to do, including being alive!
Nobody said you can't dig a tunnel. A hyperloop low pressure system is the thing that looks unrealistic.
@@FritzSchober Almost everybody said the same for Tesla Electric Cars. The same for the Tunneling. The same with Space X and everything else. IMPOSSIBLE. Elon Musk just demonstrates detractors are no more than losers who just talk and do nothing. so now that man people called a crazy looser could be very soon, the more disruptive rich man of the world.
I'm not a hater I'm a Tesla investor but boring tunnels everywhere are a terrible idea. Until now companies have had to be profitable to survive but going forward they will also have to be sustainable. Thousands of tunnels are definitely not sustainable.
@@garry8390 "Thousands of tunnels not sustainable"? There are already billions (or maybe trillions?) of tunnels.. dug by..
Ants! :P
Anyway we don't know the effect of it until someone make a study or something, so I don't think we should be that pessimistic. Sooner or later we'll need those breakthroughs/innovation in transportation. Also it will be a good way to test the boring techs before being used in Mars.
How many “uhhh”’s did y’all catch? I counted 32
I have ran, fought, dodged from those machine to many times in video games
Need to connect the airport to each hotel and the cabs can be laid to rest
End Vegas cabs please Elon, bloody ripoffs
This could be like Orville and Wilbur's first flight. Bigger than people realize at the time.
No
It hurts me how underrated Orville is
Eehm, this isn't the first tunnel ever made. You know that, right?
@@klauswunderlich6169 but this one is already made significantly faster and cheaper than conventional tunnels, that's the big deal here. I believe that the boring company sees a path to at least 10 times faster and cheaper tunneling using electric boring machines, make smaller diameter tunnels, drill and apply reinforced walls at the same time, etc. If something becomes 10 times cheaper/quicker, then you can make a lot of it. A lot of tunnels can alleviate traffic problems above ground. Like the guy in the vid said, stacking roads above ground is very expensive but physics show that that's not necessarily the case underground where going deeper is barely more expensive.
@@thijsvandercaaij5968 It's nowhere near finished. Holy fuck, go find somebody who builds tunnels and talk to them. The hole is the cheap and easy part, fitting it out will take much time and expense and maintenance even more. And what will you end up with? A bottleneck of people at the entrance waiting to go a mile or so. Fucking awesome.
Elon first trillionaire in modern times
Hoover E Londono he’s certainly aimed that way.
Realistically speaking if he gets access to asteroid mining ( which he said he would) he wouldn't be the first Trillionaire he'd be the first quintillionaire
A real life Tony Stark he is not. Elon has a 30 word vocabulary, and is not legit.
@@77rockcity oh and you are? Too bad you aren't the Kirk Douglas that died last week, seems he actually accomplished something in his life. U probably mad bc you lost a lot of money shorting TSLA you little brain dweeb.
M L dont fall for trolls bro
This is just brilliant. From the way they usually go about these things in other countries I was really not expecting this to be done for quite some time. In under three months?! That’s amazing.👍🏼👌🏼
I’ll probably never in my life go to Vegas, but I still hope this project is a full success and will pave the way for it to be rolled out in other cities across the US and hopefully other countries around the world.
It's NOT done, the whole is done, a lot more work to do yet.
The Boring company has the tunnels in Vegas dug already ?
Actually I'm not completely surprised because it was in May last year that The Boring company won the contract.......it's just that no one has dug underground tunnels that quick before..........less than 9 months after getting the go ahead ?
This sounds impressive to everyone except Elon who wants to increase tunnel boring speeds by a factor of at least 10x.
And be able to beat his pet snail..........maybe 100 meters per day ? so The Boring Company has to get a lot faster.
And let's not forget how rough it is to dig in that desert my goodness
Sadly, the snail is no longer with us. 😢
@@neightarch :( rip snail
@@supra95ful digging in the desert is as easy as it gets. Tunneling through and under mountains at remote locations is hard, as is tunneling under bodies of water
25 years from now, when the Boring Company has tunnels in every major city, and is excavating in Texas. Waiting for them to run across an narrow tunnel,
"Hola señor, solo contrabandeando drogas aquí, no se preocupe!"
Genius way to market it
Awesome yes!!! Where there’s a will there’s a way! Well done!
I thought his name is Elon , not Will?
David it is Elon made the company.
@@Mr.1hip It's a joke dude.
Yea and I live in Las Vegas so that's going to help me so much. in your face every other place that doesn't have this new form of transportation 😁😆😝🤩🤯🥳🤠
20% project may they learn by example!
Unless you live in or work at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Centre, it's no use to you whatsoever, lol
@@KumaBean now who says you have to work at the convention center to use it lol us locals know are way around getting what we want it's in our history 😏
20% project Steve Hill, CEO & President, Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority, @ 01:02
Until expansion is complete, these tunnels are of no use to anyone unless you're either an employee or visitor of the centre.
Well said, Las Vegas guy!
*Uhhhm* intensifies
Wish there would have been a whole livestream of it.
Thank you Elon for helping with this world 🌎. He is the key to life we have been wanting for😎
Well done! Boring company !!!!!
Eating concrete like a boss👍😉 Its going to be sick af to ride on!💯
Or ridden on
This is so recreated. You can already see the existing tunnel and it's just big chunks of concrete falling down there's no dirt or rock. This was recreated.
Elon should look at incorporating Graphene into the cutter heads not just for its strength but also for cooling. Like Elon says you have to back to first printable and the cutter heads are one area that needs beefing up to last longer. Could’ve also add teeth to heads to help brake up rock etc. When I look at the cutter heads they look like they are just rounded without any teeth. Do the cutter spin in there housing or just rotate with the cutter face.???? Could the cutter face or cutter heads be redesigned into something like a milling drill bit.
First, it's a vacuum tube.
Then it's a car ridden on cart on rails.
Then it's a tunnel with an elevator.
Now it's just a regular tunnel.
OMG. It's a giant Horta!!
So would one of these boring machines fit inside the space x starship or a falcon heavy?
I'm guessing the answer is yes.
East Side Access is a public works project under construction by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York City. The new station and tunnels are tentatively scheduled to start service in December 2022, some 15 years behind schedule.
This man is changing the world
When she says “You wanna try the other hole?”
Everytime he says "uhm" take a shot hahaha
I'd be as pissed as a newt. }: 0
Pretty cool. But honestly Vegas need a some sort unified high speed train system first. The way the taxies fought off everything, public transportation is a mess over there.
How completely boarding........is done right.
I watched some theoretical video and they might get to 1Km in half hour in ideal conditions with realistic improvements and if everything is ready on site.
Kewl
Hey why not dig now a tunnel for taking passangers from mccarren airport to strip, it's only a few miles, would be super convinient and also would ease traffic congestion.
I live 90 miles south. Can you bring the Borer here, I need a basement. Please and thank you.
Only for EVs no Fossil Fuel Cars
Of course, we wouldn't want any non-breathable fumes clogging up the tunnel.
@@CockatooDude The cars dont drive themselfs through the tunnel lol
@@jimmyfallon2484 I think they do actually. Isn't that what the goal was for this tunnel anyways? I'd be hard pressed to think that they'd want these tesla chassis based public use pods to be going around the tunnels and pay for people to drive them when they already have sufficiently advanced self driving tech for simply driving through a tunnel. All you really have to do is not crash into the walls, and that's the easiest part of self driving to solve, that's been solved for decades really.
@@CockatooDude In an animated video tesla had i saw that the car was bing koved by some sort of plate that was benearh the car but your probably roght because AI could drive the car👍
@@CockatooDude Perhaps the tunnels will be built for moving both EVs and reg gas vehicles.. Idk
Hope the water doesn't run out in Vegas! Lake Mead is getting drained faster than it's getting replenished.
And this is how you build deep underground military bases for fun.
Good job elon, youve made a subway.
Except, a bit smaller, for around the same price as similar tunnels, and actually still around the same speed as other tunnels this size, despite what the video says.
It also has the added benefit of not being able to take nearly as many people as a subway!
More tunnels plez? We need more tunnels:D!
No in fact we definitely do not need more tunnels. We need sustainable transport. Thousands of tunnels are not sustainable.
Barry Doyle who said thousands? Just make 1 loop underground that circles the entire city country or state.
@@NepNepYT eh no.
Barry Doyle eh yes.
@@NepNepYT Enjoy the bliss
2nd Ave Subway? Anyone? Hello
Make tunnels, it would be pretty cool to create housing underground. How many apartments can you create in a mile worth of tunnels?
That freakin madlad
POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER!
where is this supposed to connect to??
I want to invest in the boring company and starlink.
You could have put cool dramatic music and sped it up 4x. That would have been way cooler
I'm so proud to live in the century of the great Elon Musk
Just wondering.. How did the perfect circular outer rim break perfect like that ?
It was a reenactment.
@@aschconformity7795 reenactment lol
Are you serious? Relief cuts, it's just like drilling anything but on a giant scale. If they sent the bit through without preparing the outside it would crack and chip on the exterior wall
what happens if you build under buildings?
Haha I live here this is cool
It floods here... I live up on the side of town on a hill and it still gets deep enough to soak your shoes... how will they deal with that?
You better email Elon and inform him. Im sure he hasn't calculated water into any of his ideas
Imagine a tunnel that puts your car on a platform that takes you from California to New York in an hour
Proboscis fraid I don’t think that’s possible
david king Will be one day, if bullet trains exist then who knows
All our major cities should have big tunnels going underneath them
Ocean's Elon
walt disney's people mover dream is coming true
Man, does that guy sound ever like Tom Hanks.
"Beat the snail"
Lol my uncle builds way longer tunnels in a shorter time span. He’s international
I love all the haters in the comments. They come off sounding like people who thought airplanes would never be successful and people who thought cellphones were impractical. I can’t wait for 50 years from now when we look back and laugh at these people.
I cant seem to find any haters. Are you delusional per chance?
@@bryanking5358 you must not have scrolled down genius
Yeah but this isnt even quite as big of an invention as a airplane or a cellphone. It isnt even an invention he just combined a metro with personal rapid transport which are both quite old. Also not all ideas that seemed genius turned out to be genius so well have to wait
@@amberionik I never said it was as big of an invention/innovation, I just said that in the past people talk as if something is impossible and it turns out to be very very possible
@@instinctchris7155 oh sorry I missunderstood you also just to clarify i dont hate musk i think of him as a rich guy that spends his money well
What's so fantastic about this little, short tunnel? Can anyone please explain this to me?
It's sort of a proof of technology demonstration. Elon Musk (SpaceX, Tesla) wants to build tunnels like these under major cities, so instead of being stuck on a freeway at rush hour (think Los Angeles traffic!), you would just drive into an elevator for your car, go down to a tunnel and take a huge shortcut, popping up at your destination, which could be all the way on the other side of town. Fast, cheap, safe alternative to being stuck in freeways.
Innovative? No, it's just a tunnel, a very small tunnel. Go visit SIngapore, their subway system moves millions of people a day, is clean, fast and each station is like a shopping destination. It's beyond amazing. All this pissy little tunnel is doing is moving the 'lucky few' a mile or so slightly quicker into Vegas's grid lock!
Benny: I'm gonna drill you sucka!
Quaid: Hey, Benny, screw you!
Who else thought the thumbnail looked like some sort of Universal Jaws ride?
I have so many things to say when my brain works like this it feels like I'm moving at an unprecedented rate of speed my body begins to do hummingbird like motions unseeable to the naked human eye I begin to lift off the ground my body is in motion yet I am seated at the right hand of knowledge yet I have nothing but potential standing in my way. I love you so much Elon really that's how we're going to plow through this planet.. it took me 10 minutes to type you and because Google Text-to-Speech couldn't get it I have no exited the atmosphere in the longer-term text
My concern with the tunneling system is the amount of water being used after erosion control mainly ground seepage in the actual debris removal system and the penetrator itself I'd love to discuss my design Martha Turley more thoroughly not Martha Turley my design focuses on penetration of the earth but more importantly the debris ...when the debris is created in front of the penetrator how do you remove the debris if the penetrator is moving forward that is my question. I needed to see more of that machine
I was expecting Oryx to run through the wall
on the other hand
I was like man Ellen really gettin out there
Is that a portal?
Surprised they didn't do both tunnels at the same time.
Wtf did i get a VW ad before this???
When the borer "breaks through" and the pieces begin falling from the perfectly round opening that the borer hasn't even touched yet...
Looks like some kind of concrete wall that was built and made for it to crash through. At least it looked like concrete.
What if it crashed through early and they had to set up a reenactment lol.
It was not a concrete wall, it was stone. It was just flater on the exit, because they cut into it for the exit point.
which is the boring part
Shai-Halud !!!!!
I think we should have all of our roads underground. Save the wildlife.
What’s this for?
Whenever he says um
Drink a shot
Why am I thinking this is only available if you’re rich or win at a machine?
El chalpo tunnel?
What is a new type of transportation? The underground rail?
No,i read that they were going to use model x vehicles
@@xxZerosumxx So a car tunnel is a new thing? I'm looking for the innovation and can't find it.
Putting cars on rail transport carts will be cheaper. No need to convert AC to DC to charge batteries and DC back to AC to run the engine. They still have to put utilities in, like lighting and ventilation.
@@batner hey, dont look at me.
@@xxZerosumxx You are not selling me tunnels as innovation :-)
@@batner Shhh don't question the blind Elon fanboys. They see a tunnel breakthrough and think that's it all done. Now the hard work starts.
That was a big prefab concrete slab. It wasn't rock... Did they already drill it, forgot to film it, back filled it then did it again? I'm confused
sssshhhhh Elon's a genius, don;t you dare question him.
how hard would it be to move on(e) of these machines to Mars?
edit: One...
One*
One*
To use a machine like this you need a ton of water. There isn't water readily available in mars.
105 falcon heavy launches just to get it to low earth orbit
On starship with super heavy, it would be a piece of piss.
