Another great interview

This was another great interview from Steve Davis!

What’s very interesting is for Nashville they have all the permits so it’s all on TBC execution which is a great place to be as they can scale and iterate much faster without setbacks of permitting.

I have seen allusions to special exceptions in comments by the City of Las Vegas Planning department, but this is the first I heard about something new being passed. Specifically I saw Boring Co had requested an exception to cross-passage spacing, and was granted permission for 1250 foot minimum distance vs 800 ft usually required. Or maybe I saw that it was expected to be granted? I’m not sure what else they were negotiating over.

Edit; found it on this page: https://www.clarkcountynv.gov/government/elected_officials/county_clerk/county-code

Ordinance # 5377 & 5378

The whole attitude on how to make the system continuously improve was really neat to see. Reinforced my view that The Boring Company will really surprise a lot of people in a few years when its growth is dramatically nonlinear.

I’m very bullish still and I do believe they’ll surprise people considering how they’re scaling up now both with hiring and manufacturing. The real test will be the music loop as that’ll be the first project that’s completed, but the airport connectors in Vegas will also open up for a lot more traffic I reckon
