Elon Musk’s The Boring Company is moving ahead with plans to build underground tunnels for cars in a bid to relieve clogged roads and highways in Miami and Texas.
Musk’s firm has submitted a plan for a 6.2-mile underground transit system in South Florida where commuters would take Tesla vehicles that would carry them between seven stations.
The North Miami Beach Loop includes stops along State Road 826 between Golden Glades Transit Center and Sunny Isles Beach at Newport Pier, according to Business Insider. The goal is for the system to carry between 7,500 and 15,000 passengers per hour, according to company estimates.

So there is no Miami Tunnel?
i got stuck in one of the tunnels there for 9 hours due to a tag along camper fire...
Yes, but it’s short and deep. I do not believe for one minute that Musk can dig a 6-mile loop underneath Miami without problems.
Gee...I didn't even have a computer at the time...only an HP41CV I think.
The rosary is not about fear of traffic or of some engineer with wild if not out of control ideas
On the contrary. I am not afraid of a little traffic or waiting or of being alone with my thoughts.
pigs feat...
Well lucky you. Some of us have full lives and don’t want to waste time being tied up in traffic or waiting on lines.
He can try but the Libs fight ever change to their death
The Long Island Expressway was my orientation. The insanity of Texas (I’m 15 don’t need to learn how to drive, it comes natural/what country are we in?) drivers and DOT/roadway planners is a whole other thing to anyone with a full life.
Anyone who wants to tackle that welcome to it. Been hearing about musks ideas for years from fascinated highschoolers turned engineers.
But traffic is not scary nor soul destroying. It is what it is.
Good luck with the shifty soil in Texas and the swampy soil in Florida.
Elon Musk thinks technology is better than God.
I stated Musk is not impressive, a true statement, but it’s worse than that. His ideas are utterly foolish.
Musk is a technician.
Where is this man’s vision? It’s on the mechanics, nothing more.
MUSK PAID BACK EVERY LOAN FROM GOVERNMENT-—EARLY-—WITH ALL INTEREST
STAR LINK is a game changer for INTERNET users.
Be good enough to link us to when Musk ever said that will you?
I stated Musk is not impressive, a true statement,
Musk is about the most impressive person on the planet right now.
but it's worse than that. His ideas are utterly foolish.
His ideas and his achievements will change the way we live in major ways, till long after we are all gone.
You are babbling nonsense.
Does Musk think he can make humans better by connecting their physiology with electronic devices?
Musk defends receiving $4.9 billion in government support for Tesla, SolarCity and SpaceX
https://www.rt.com/usa/264065-musk-tesla-government-subsidies/
Tesla CEO Elon Musk defended the backing his companies get from state and federal sources as legitimate business practices, blasting a newspaper report about government subsidies as “inexcusable” and inaccurate.
According to the report published by the Los Angeles Times over the weekend, Musk’s companies – Tesla, SolarCity and SpaceX – have received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support in total over the years.
The electric entrepreneur didn’t deny the company gets the incentives,
The subsidies have been disclosed in the companies’ filings and public records, but no one has tallied all the various forms of public assistance over time, the paper said. Its estimates of subsidies are based on state and federal records, interviews with local and state officials, credit analysts, and watchdog groups.
According to the LA Times, Tesla Motors has received $2.391 billion in government subsidies, while SolarCity has received $2.516 billion. Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), a private company that does not publicly report financial performance, received $20 million in local incentives and rebates for a space launch facility in Texas.
Among the examples cited by the paper was a $750 million solar panel factory in Buffalo, New York, which Musk’s SolarCity leased for $1 a year. The company will also not pay property taxes for a decade, amounting to $260 million in savings.

Tesla is getting $1.3 million from Nevada to build a battery factory near Reno, and has received more than $517 million from other automakers by selling environmental credits, known as carbon offsets.
Though after ten years in business Tesla and SolarCity still operate at a net loss, the stocks of both companies are riding high on future potential, the LA Times reported.
Elon’s Tesla tunnel in Vegas is a joke. There are a number of videos detailing the problems with Elon’s tunnel ideas. Go to YouTube and search for Common Sense Sceptics or thunderf00t and get the other side of the story.
But yet the city just decided to extend it along the entire strip.
