Privileged to be a major investor in @boringcompany Series D and to have helped scale the team for 5 years.
Vegas Loop proved what’s possible. With the $3B raise, TBC is expanding to many more cities in the US and abroad.
This is a rare moment to join the team and help bring Loop to the next 100 cities.
We are inviting a select group of exceptional engineers and operators to an all expenses paid, behind the scenes tour of the Vegas Loop on Sunday, Oct 18.
Years of experience is not a filter. New grads and dropouts should apply.

Vegas Loop isn’t just tunnels! In Vegas, besides 14 tunnels, TBC has built 14 stations (28 by end of year), 12 emergency egresses, 6 cross-passages, and 9 "knockout shafts".
See below for the construction of a cross-passage connecting "Tunnel-1" and "Tunnel-2" (beneath Paradise Road) to provide access and egress; construction time is ~10 days.
Steps:
1. If necessary, treat the ground (typically with grout) between the two tunnels such that it is stable during excavation.
2. Brace the Tunnel-1 wall with a steel frame and open up the concrete Tunnel-1 wall within said frame.
3. Excavate the dirt between the tunnels, installing steel ribs and wood lagging to maintain a safe roof until Tunnel-2 is exposed. This is a slow process of 10 feet per day.
4. Install waterproofing and rebar, the latter which anchors into both Tunnels 1 and 2 (see pic)
5. Install solid steel liner plate (see pic)
6. Pour high-strength concrete around the liner plate, reinforced with the rebar from Step 4
7. Open up Tunnel-2, finalizing the connection
Finally, the cross-passage is built out with a walking surface, ventilation, fire suppression valves, fire-rated doors, safety equipment/sensors, lighting, and cameras.
Vegas Loop isn’t just tunnels! It is also stations, merge/exit ramps, cross-passages, ventilation chambers, and emergency egress shafts.
See pics for the construction of an egress shaft; construction time is ~8 days. Steps:
1. Excavate down to expose the tunnel exterior
2. Install waterproofing, conduit, and rebar, followed by pouring a concrete base slab adjacent to the tunnel
3. Add steel-reinforced concrete walls and backfill the perimeter
4. Pour a concrete roof (leaving an opening for egress) and pave over the structure with asphalt; final surface impact is ~120 square feet
Once the structure is complete, a doorway is cut into the tunnel to connect the tunnel to the shaft. Finally, the shaft is built out with stairs, ventilation, standpipe, safety equipment/sensors, access hatch, lighting, and cameras.

Reliable backup protection and predictable electricity costs for $35/month in Texas.
Elon Musk said his Boring Co. venture is working on a tunnel project in Texas that would connect the cities of Austin and San Antonio. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

The @Tesla Roadster can now be reserved.
Roadster reservations require an initial $5,000 credit card payment, plus a $45,000 wire transfer payment due in 10 days. Reservations are not final until the wire transfer payment is received.

Prufrock-5 finishing a test-tunnel in Bastrop, Texas.
The ~900,000 lb boring machine will re-launch in November.
As we look toward commercial expansion in Europe, we’re teaming up with @AllianzPartners to build the insurance, claims, and safety foundation needed to scale across the continent safely and responsibly.
