The Tesla Robovan will soon be used as a collective transport means in the Tesla Loop in Las Vegas.
Tesla and The Boring Company are preparing the Robovan for its first concrete mission in Las Vegas: managing traffic spikes in the underground network of the Vegas Loop. According to Steve Davis, president of The Boring Company, interviewed by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Robovan will be deployed once the Loop covers the Strip and downtown, with a fleet reaching around 1,200 Teslas.
The Robovan will be used during major events and games when thousands of people head to the same location. Davis specifies: “If you know that many people are going to the stadium or a show, it’s better to deploy a high-capacity vehicle like the Robovan.” This helps optimize traffic and avoid congestion in the Vegas Loop.
The Robovan has a future!
The Vegas Loop, already operational for connecting certain stations to Harry Reid Airport, plans a phase 2 that will add a bidirectional 3.5 km tunnel between Westgate and Paradise Road, allowing speeds of up to 95 km/h and a fleet of 160 vehicles.
The following phases are expected to bring the network closer to the airport terminals and include several additional stations, with a total potential fleet of 300 Teslas.
