Vegas Loop for Tesla Owners: What You Can (and Can’t) Do

Can I drive my own Tesla in the Vegas Loop?

No. The Vegas Loop is a closed system run by The Boring Company with its own fleet.

• In a 2024 request to Clark County (published by ProPublica in January 2025), The Boring Company wrote that it “will not allow the general public or any other non-Clark County entity to drive/operate vehicles within the tunnel system.”
• Owning a Tesla doesn’t get you tunnel access, a discount or priority. We found no official program that lets private cars in, and no announced date for one.

Myth: “If you have a Tesla you can drive through the tunnel.” That’s false.

Is the Vegas Loop only for Teslas?

The cars are all Teslas, but the riders don’t have to be Tesla owners. Anyone with a ticket can ride. The LVCVA describes the convention center Loop as tunnels “built to accommodate electric, zero-emissions Tesla vehicles.”

Is the Vegas Loop self-driving? What about FSD?

Partly, in testing, with a person in the driver’s seat.

• In November 2025, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Loop had started offering rides in self-driving Teslas, with a safety driver, and only between the LVCC’s Central station and Encore. Those cars are marked “Tesla Self-Driving Vehicle,” and the safety driver tells you when you’re in one.
• The Review-Journal reported there was no time frame for self-driving rides to other stations, and the LVCVA’s CEO said the system would become fully autonomous when it is safe to do so.

As of Nov 1, 2026, we found no official announcement that the safety drivers have been removed. You can’t use your own car’s FSD in the Loop, because your car can’t enter the Loop at all.

Can I park or charge my Tesla at a Loop station?

• Parking: the Loop doesn’t run its own parking. Stations sit at the LVCC and at resorts, so you’d park under that venue’s own parking rules and prices. During big conventions, LVCC parking can be limited.
• Charging: we found no official information about public Tesla charging at Vegas Loop stations. To find a charger, use the map in your Tesla app. Don’t plan a charging stop around a Loop station.

How do I book and pay for a Vegas Loop ride?

1. Buy on vegasloop.com (recommended) or scan the QR code at the station. Ticket types are Single Ride, Round Trip and Day Pass, and event passes (like the SEMA Pass) appear during some shows.
2. Pay at checkout with Google Pay, X or a card. Logging in is optional.
3. Scan your ticket at the station, and staff send you to your car.
4. Ride. Trips between LVCC stations are free.

Every rider over age 2 needs a ticket. See current fares and how to ride the Vegas Loop step by step.

Tips for Tesla fans riding the Loop

• Groups of 3 or more are guaranteed a private car. Otherwise you’ll “nearly always” have the car to yourself, Vegas Loop says.
• Bringing the dog? Pets are allowed if they’re leashed, harnessed or in a carrier, and they ride in the back.
• Luggage has to fit in the trunk, the frunk or at your feet.
• Airport: see the Vegas Loop to and from the airport.

What’s next: more stations and Cybercab

The Loop is expanding toward UNLV, downtown, Allegiant Stadium and inside the airport. See what’s coming next and the Vegas Loop map. Tesla’s street robotaxi is a separate service. It’s approved in Clark County but not launched yet, as covered in our Tesla Cybercab status page.
