Modded Model X?

This is not the skateboard previous expected and it can't yet be:

This is a big deal - 11 days and counting

 

[WaitingForY]

wont there be 2 version 1) pedestrian version as your image shows 2) skateboard to transport a car.

Boring video of an X with side guide wheels:

Makes more sense... Just need to add scythed wheels for the full mad max experience!

 

[Buckminster]

Will seems to expect mostly Boring Co shuttles in the tunnels. My assumption is that most tunnels will be open to the public and most vehicles will not be Boring Co vehicles.

Will talks about the Canoo:

10 mins in.

 

[Buckminster]

Nothing new here. He missed Elon's point regarding no new product reveals for a while. I think they should delay.

 

[Buckminster]

Couldn't think of a more relevant thread for this.

Boring Revolution - last video I think, Will stated some news that the M3 skateboard would be used for this purpose. Vegas is going well so we might get to see it this year.

This rendering shows using the Tesla Model 3.

Making a 16 seats autonomous van seems to be a quite daunting and ambitious project?

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) loop.

The tunnel will travel a 0.83-mile route below the convention center, with stops at three stations.

I wonder what the passengers will look like after a ride at 123 mph with soaring curves and stopsonadime braking. It won't be six people having a chat at a table like the image, but rather more like 60 people in a 50 person container. Just shook up enough to get them to the craps table quickly with their debit cards in hand.

The cars will have to be able to carry people with wheel chairs. This form of transportation will have to be ADA compliant due to public use

 

[Brando]

Sliders for these "Vans" could be either Model X or CyberTruck - Skate Board is a very flexible platform. another Tesla win.

That tweet is deleted. This one may be similar, but is responding to a question about Vegas and elevators and leaves the door open for custom vehicles.

"We simplified this a lot. It’s basically just Teslas in tunnels at this point, which is way more profound than it sounds."

This article references the deleyed tweet.
Elon Musk mentions Tesla electric bus in tweet but quickly deletes it - Electrek
“We will make a dense Tesla if it matters. Maybe just better to have more tunnels though. There is no practical limit to tunnel count. Increased traffic due to “induced demand” is the second dumbest theory I’ve ever heard after homeopathy!”

Using Model X in the Las Vegas system.

It's the Ontario (California) Airport connector tunnel that will supposedly get the first pods.

Tesla Van leak? What do you all think?

https://twitter.com/x/status/1678509827981451265

“Leaked video of the secret Tesla van prototype designed for Elon Musk's Vegas Loop, from inside The Boring Company's Las Vegas headquarters”

It is a prototype of something. Could be a special van variant for Boring only.

That's such an early stage of a prototype it might as well be made of clay. But a boring tunnel optimized van will definitely happen at some point.
