Tesla Boring Tunnel Van (Sort of) Leak?!

[cvalue13]

" video shows what appears to be an early prototype of a Tesla van designed to carry passengers through the Boring Company's Las Vegas Loop. "


he basic minibus-like vehicle closely resembles the pods the Boring Company showed off in its renders five years ago. At the time, Tesla and Boring Company CEO Elon Musk promised that the company's tunnels would feature "fully road legal autonomous transport cars" and "ground to tunnel car elevators."

The reality, however, looked quite different by the time the operation finished construction of its people-mover tunnels at the Las Vegas Convention Center back in 2020, relying instead on a fleet of slightly modified Tesla passenger cars.


So is — or was — Tesla or the Boring Company really working on such a van? At this point, we can only speculate."

Hadn’t seen the inside of the Boeing Vegas tunnels

I actually forgot to go and check the boring tunnel out when we were in Vegas...bummer. I knew I forgot something whilst I was there, in a hole in the ground.

Oh well I'll have to go to Vegas again I suppose.

That doesn't look like a actual vehicle, just a passenger interior mock-up.

I would be interested in purchasing as a mobile office with a custom internal buildout.

LOL. Sure it does... For now.

Just wait. That driver seat will get removed ASAP after FSD gets approved. And it looks like an additional 3 passenger seats or maybe more will replace the single driver seat.

Video doesn't show too much, but it looks like they might've bought or borrowed an extra tram from one of the major airports using them.
