Elon Musk's Las Vegas Tunnel Faces Trespassing Challenges

The Boring Company's Vegas Loop has reported 67 trespassing incidents since 2022, complicating its expansion plans.

Overview

  • The Las Vegas tunnel network, operated by Elon Musk's Boring Company, has experienced at least 67 trespassing incidents, including cars tailgating Teslas into the tunnels.
  • The trespassing often results from confusion, with drivers mistaking tunnel entrances for rideshare or parking areas.
  • Security measures, such as license plate readers, have been implemented to prevent unauthorized access, but incidents continue to occur.
  • The Boring Company aims to expand the tunnel system to 68 miles, despite past construction issues and safety concerns raised by former employees.
  • While the system has transported over 2 million passengers since its 2021 opening, it has yet to meet the high-speed transit goals initially envisioned by Musk.
