Elon Musk he does not let up in his initiative to build an underground transport communication, which is in charge of his company The Boring Company. According to recent information, the first test tunnel is "almost ready" and we should expect it to be launched soon. In addition to the master plan, which is oriented towards the transport network of the city of Los Angeles, the company also has projects in progress in Maryland or Chicago. Over time, Musk would also like to orient himself to a wider range of territories, with which a potential expansion to territories outside the American continent could come. The company's statement talks about efficient and fast transport, while the journey from one place to another should only take a few minutes. When driving in LA, this amount of time is more than welcome.

The test tunnel, which has been the scene of important tests during the past months, has a length of almost one mile. Most of the work took place, so to speak, under the headquarters of SpaceX, which collaborated to some extent on this project. Tesla also wants to lend a helping hand in the work, which is supposed to provide moving platforms. These will carry vehicles into the underground transportation network directly from your garage. The grand opening of the tunnel section under Hawthorne will take place on December 10, with free promotional rides for potential visitors. The test tunnel will not be intended for "sharp" driving, but will serve as a demonstration of the idea of relieving overloaded traffic infrastructure.
To move in the underground unit, the Hyperloop pod from SpaceX should be used, which will initially reach a speed of up to 266 km/h. It is this tunnel that should serve as the venue for Hyperloop vehicle competitions, which are organized every year. Tesla pods should be used for the final operation, just like in the case of the tunnels under Chicago. In addition, work is slowly starting on the first station, which, however, will not see complete implementation in the near future. We should expect new official statements regarding other projects in the coming weeks.
