It’s not electric or gas — e-Rex is coming to U.S. roads soon Elon Musk continues to try to create a project involving tunnels linking cities or continents. For years, overcrowded streets and sweltering heat have plagued Dubai’s rapid expansion. Authorities have pushed metro extensions, buses, and cars, but traffic remains a constant strain. As megacities seek innovative solutions, underground transit has emerged as a bold frontier, with one company already operating a tunnel loop beneath Las Vegas. Now, this will happen in another country overseas. The financial challenges of these project Elon Musk already tried to create a highway between Texas and California with thousands of recharging stations for Tesla’s electric vehicles, but it never got funded by the government. These types of projects take time, and more money than a company can spend in a project. That’s why it relies on outside funding, to have the monetary power working along with other companies, institutes, or the government, pushing for a specific project to be successful. This increases the chances of a bold move happening. The SpaceX founder is also suggested the creation of a tunnel linking a couple of cities in Texas, where the Tesla Gigafactory and other companies owned by him are based. The businessman also created a project to link New York to London in an underwater tunnel, which is not physically possible due to the ocean floor pressure. Now, he’s on to something in Dubai, and can finally make his dreams of creating tunnels something real. Elon Musk is trying to build a tunnel network in Dubai In February, the company signed a memorandum of understanding with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority to build a 10.5-mile tunnel system under the city. The first phase will have 11 stations and aims to carry around 20,000 passengers per hour. According to the company, this could later expand to 100,000 passengers per hour. For now, there’s no set date for the project to start. If it moves forward, it would be the company’s second tunnel system. So far, The Boring Company only operates in Las Vegas. There, a small loop under the Convention Center moves passengers in Tesla cars at about 40 miles per hour through 1.8 miles of tunnels. This is far from Musk’s original Hyperloop idea. In 2013, he imagined people moving inside tubes at speeds close to 760 miles per hour. The Boring Company started in 2017, after the inventor said LA traffic made him want to build tunnels himself.
