It's scaled down because the project doesn't need subway capacity. It's a people mover. You don't build a subway for a convention center much like you don't need a sledge hammer to crack an egg. Do you get it now?

No---it was marketed as some massively innovative concept, yet his tunnels are as expensive as traditional tunnels, his solution is highly labor intensive, and the ultimate capacity is worse than a subway, which would suit LVs needs way better. Do you get it now?

No, Vegas ordered a scaled down version. It's in the contracts.
"as expensive as traditional tunnels"
haha, no. show me the numbers. actually let me do that for you.

This is a nonsense comparison---I said TUNNELS, not mass transit systems. The actual tunnels the boring company are digging are not cheaper, they are in fact about the same price as traditional tunnels. Musk has claimed he will make them "100 times cheaper", that's a flat out lie

What "traditional tunnels" are you talking about? Where's your numbers? You're making accusations without any evidence to back anything up. Boring Company tunnels take $10 million/mile to dig. Rest of the money is spent on building stations.

This is really stupid---you obviously aren't an engineer. The per mile distance is not the only thing that matters, what about diameter? In fact, Musk's tunnels are actually very narrow. If you adjust for the diameter they aren't cheaper.

you're going to believe a guy who builds his channel around obsessing about elon?

Guy in an Elon Musk shirt. 🤣
Thunderfoot has a history of debunking so much and being consistently correct.

Yeah, I am sure this guy was probably also a fan of the magic blood drops that Theranos were selling a few years ago. He clearly has a very special relationship with Elon (in his head) and cannot see past it.

You're still failing to provide any valid numbers LOL
I did, you are just being completely dishonest here. The cost depends on many factors---Musk has not innovated anything according to actual experts (which I have cited), you have no arguments against this. Just your Elon fanboy.

Hard to prove when Boring has made 1 tiny, shit and dangerous tunnel and will have to completely close for any repairs... like potholes. 🤣
