Earlier Tesla CEO Elon Musk has teased a Tesla van that might be an excellent addition to TBC’s Vegas tunnels. And it’s making moves that hint that one day Tesla may have its own van.
In the meantime Teslas will likely always be the primary vehicles used in The Boring Company tunnels. Tesla Model 3s, Model Ys, and some Model X units are already zipping through the LVCC Loop.
Elon Musk and The Boring Company initially planned to use a different vehicle for its tunnels.
Redditor u/komocode found a permit filed by Elon Musk’s tunneling company. The permit showed that The Boring Company increased its Tesla vehicle fleet to 70 units plus an additional ADA Polaris e6 vehicle.
According to u/komocode multiple people on Twitter have seen the Polaris e6 ADA vehicle passing through the Vegas tunnel. Records suggested that The Boring Company added a ramp mod to the Polaris to make it ADA compliant.
Maria Merano from Teslarati notes that “some Redditors in r/BoringCompany speculate that the Polaris is mainly used for persons with disabilities. Many people pass through TBC’s Vegas tunnels now, and it seems appropriate that the company ensures that all passengers are accommodated.”
