New website refresh
No idea when this happened but their website has had a great refresh where you can see a visual map and station feeds (albeit not live)

End of year targets
This is interesting seeing this table of what is due by end of the year, looks like 3 proper stations and 11 annex stations.
I reckon most of them will be by the new paradise road tunnel.
Although I’m quietly hoping for Circus Circus to get an annex station but I don’t think it would be quick enough as you can’t get to the resorts world tunnel I think and that would be even more of a bottleneck going through that tunnel.
Going to riviera you’d get stuck by the traffic lights

Austin to San Antonio Hyperloop
Elon has just posted that they’re planning a simple version of the Hyperloop between Austin & San Antonio.
80 miles currently takes 2.5 hours in traffic
The boring company could get that down to less than 30 minutes!
This is a HUGE infrastructure project for them and would do wonders for people believing in the company if they manage to pull this off!

Big day today
Exciting evening later when they launch the Cybercab, they’ve already stated the eventual plan is for the robotaxis to make use of the tunnel network which that could help them expand their fleet for TBC much more

Tunnelling is getting cheaper
On one video (https://youtu.be/lCwlSOzmiv8?is=verunp5f7rwyuOFj) they mention that because they’re working on a newer Prufrock to bore and lay the lining at the same time which is effectively around double the speed, they can get the cost down to just $4-$5m a mile which to my surprise is the cost of a single lane highway in rural areas on the cheaper end of the scale.
The benefit of the boring network is it’s 3 dimensional so if there’s any traffic or bottlenecks they can just add a new tunnel next to the existing one with no disruption.

Main strip tunnel starting soon?
I think they teased a little near the end of one of the recent tour videos that in 2-3 weeks they’re moving one of the machines to start boring under the strip which I gather will likely be the main resorts corridor which is super exciting!
I don’t think the tunnelling will take long, it’s the stations that’ll probably take the longest and won’t start opening until the end of next year I believe.

Cheap vs Expensive cruise
They’ve just announced on Sidecast that they’re also doing a cheap vs expensive cruise as well as the hide and seek video which will be cool!
