Elon Musk's Boring Company has only built a few miles of tunnel underneath Vegas — but those tunnels have taken a toxic toll.

[Eupalinos of Megara appears out of a time portal from ancient Ionia] Wow, you guys must be really good at digging tunnels by now, right?

    If I was the nafarious type…

    I’m sure one could buy an old used Tesla that barely works.

    Then drive it into the tunnel with a gas can and lighter on the passenger seat. Have a friend stand in the way blocking others from driving in behind you.

    I wonder what would happen if it caught fire in the tunnel?

    Would sprinkler systems take over? Would the tunnel burn and collapse as you walk out the other end so it’s never used again?

    Good thing I’m not that type of person…

      You don’t bring your own tesla to the tunnel. You use the ones they provide which probably all have the speed limit mode enabled.
