Elon Musk’s Boring Company shares first look at Las Vegas Loop’s ‘Tunnel Rave’ site
The Boring Company recently shared what appears to be a first look at the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop’s site for its “tunnel rave” party. Based on a short clip of the site that the tunneling startup posted on Twitter, the LVCC Loop’s stations will most definitely have a futuristic vibe, complete with neon lights and what seems to be a killer sound system.
Similar to The Boring Company’s previous posts, the video of its “tunnel rave” site was accompanied by a rather short caption. Despite this, members of the Tesla community on Twitter and other supporters of the tunneling startup promptly noted that the clip seems to have been taken from one of the stations in the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, which is expected to enter operations early next year.
The Boring Company has found a notable degree of support from Las Vegas. Despite the company’s relative inexperience, officials from Sin City opted to take a chance at the startup’s technology and concept. In a meeting last month, the Las Vegas Planning Commission emphasized its support for The Boring Co.’s operations, with some officials exploring the idea of adding more stops to the Loop system. These stops include stations at the Arts District and several establishments in the area.
Similar to other projects by Elon Musk, The Boring Company has met a notable degree of opposition from critics, many of whom argue that the Loop system is inferior to traditional rail systems, which are typically far more expensive to develop. Despite this, simulations of the Loop System in action have suggested that Elon Musk’s “Teslas in a tunnel” concept could carry more passengers than initially expected.
While the Boring Co.’s Loop system is pretty impressive in its own right, the tunneling startup’s disruption lies in its tunneling technology itself. Thanks to several key innovations such as the use of smaller tunnels and all-electric vehicles, The Boring Company could build tunnels far quicker and cheaper than more conventional alternatives.
In the case of the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, for example, the Boring Company’s tunnel system is expected to cost about $52.5 million to complete. This was far more affordable than an alternative solution proposed by Austria-based Doppelmayr Garaventa Group, which involved the creation of an above-ground transit system that was initially estimated to cost $215 million. Even an adjusted estimate pushed by Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board member Carolyn Goodman, which pegged the Doppelmayr system at $85 million, was still about 39% more expensive than Elon Musk’s “Teslas in a Tunnel.”

Tesla launches new feature that cold climate drivers will love
Tesla’s steering wheels are getting better with this simple yet effective software update.

Tesla is launching another new feature in its cars, this time it will cater to those in colder climates, and those drivers will love it.
Perhaps one of the best things about Teslas is that they routinely receive over-the-air software updates that either improve the ownership experience, add features, or make their performance more robust.
Every update offers some sort of bug fix or new feature that simply makes the cars better than they were before. For example, earlier this week, we reported on a new third-party charger latch release feature that will help those with non-Tesla home charging plugs.
Now, Tesla is releasing a new improvement to its heated steering wheel system, which has been around for several years. The new feature is one that will improve its performance and have your wheel nice and toasty the next time you get in, and it is a bit chilly outside.
According to Not a Tesla App, Tesla rolled out the Heated Steering Wheel improvements with the 2024.14 software update:
“If the steering wheel heater is set to Auto, the steering wheel will now heat up based on the cabin temperature, even if the climate system is set manually.
Previously, the climate system needed to be set to Auto for the steering wheel heater to turn on automatically.”
The change impacts all five Tesla models, the release notes state.
The heated steering wheel is one of the features that Tesla has used to help cater the vehicle’s overall performance to those in colder climates.
Tesla Model 3 with heated steering wheel begins US deliveries
Just as the air-conditioned and cooling seats are beneficial during the Summer months, the heated steering wheel is incredibly beneficial to those drivers in colder parts of the globe.

Tesla announces massive new achievement with 8 million cars produced
Tesla’s 8 millionth car comes just 8 months after it built its 7 millionth car.

Tesla announced a massive new achievement in relation to its automotive division as it has officially built 8 million cars globally.
The 8 millionth car rolled off production lines at Gigafactory Berlin on Friday, the company announced. The car was an Ultra Red Model Y, images show:

The car comes just about eight months after Tesla built its 7 millionth car at the Fremont Factory last October, a major accomplishment considering the claims of a lack of demand from the media.
Additionally, Tesla was able to achieve this major threshold with a stoppage in production at each of its four production facilities earlier this year. The manufacturing halt was attributed to a production line changeover for the new Model Y crossover.
The car has been the best-selling vehicle in the world for two consecutive years, and the company pausing production for two weeks, yet still managed to produce one million cars in eight months is impressive.
Tesla currently only produces the Model Y at Gigafactory Berlin, but the car is also manufactured at Gigafactory Shanghai, Gigafactory Texas, and the Fremont Factory.
It is the only model to be produced at all four of Tesla’s global manufacturing plants, which span across three different continents.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump to speak with each other Friday: report
White House aides have scheduled a call between the CEO and U.S. President on Friday.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s feud seems to be thawing, at least to some degree.
As per a recent Politico report, White House aides have scheduled a call between the CEO and U.S. President on Friday.
Musk vs. Trump
Musk turned into a staunch critic of Trump amidst the administration’s efforts to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which the CEO claimed would add trillions to the country’s deficit. Trump, for his part, claimed that Musk turned on him due to the adverse effects of the proposed bill on his companies.
The spat between the two powerful men became so notable that Musk called for the impeachment of Trump on X. He also claimed that Trump was in the Epstein list. The U.S. President, for his part, threatened to cancel billions of dollars worth of government contracts with Musk’s companies such as SpaceX.
Potential Truce
As per Politico, however, White House aides have stepped in to temper the tensions and broker peace between the two powerful men. When asked by the outlet about his ongoing feud with the CEO, Trump reportedly stated that “it’s okay” and that “it’s going very well, never done better.” The U.S. President also highlighted his favorability ratings, stating that his “numbers are through the roof.”
While the CEO was very aggressive against Trump in his X posts, he did back down somewhat after some time. When hedge fund manager Bill Ackman argued that Trump and Musk should make peace for the benefit of the United States, the CEO responded with, “You’re not wrong.” Musk also walked back on his decision to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which is essential to NASA’s operations.
