Highlights

  • The tunnel runs about 2 miles under the streets of Hawthorne, where Musk's SpaceX headquarters is located.
  • Musk envisions a transportation system in which vehicles or people pods are moved through tunnels on electrically powered platforms called skates.
  • He plans to show off the test tunnel with an opening party on Dec. 10 and offer free rides the next day.

Musk's Boring Company has finished building a prototype in Los Angeles, a two-mile-long tunnel from the HQ of Tesla (Musk's electric cars company) to a suburb. Its success would be a boost for the viability of Musk's other three tunnel proposals across the US. A look
