A video uploaded to the company's Twitter shows the entire Las Vegas Convention Center Loop terminal lit up in gaudy RGB lighting, pulsating in waves of rainbow colors like an overpriced trophy gaming PC. The video also shows off a powerful sound system, pumping out EDM to go with the flashing lights. It's a signature move by the Tesla CEO: Musk [teased in July]() that its brand new Gigafactory in Berlin will have "indoor/outdoor rave space" on the factory's roof. https://twitter.com/boringcompany/status/1334763332029464577 ## Get In Loser As Musk [admitted in an October tweet](), the company "simplified" original plans to transport passengers via roomy passenger pods inside the tunnels by "a lot." As it stands, the Convention Center loop will carry five passengers at a time through the tunnel inside largely unmodified Tesla vehicles. The jury is still out on how many passengers can be transported at a given time — and how those numbers [compare to a conventional train system](). The Boring Company has also received approval to expand the Loop, as [*Electrek* reported last month](), with the company eyeing connecting the loop to the city's Ars District as well. **READ MORE:** [Elon Musk’s Boring Company shares first look at Las Vegas Loop’s ‘Tunnel Rave’ site]() \[*Teslarati*\] **More on Boring Company:** *[There's a theory that Elon Musk is digging a tunnel between LA and Vegas]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
