The Boring Company's LA test tunnel is almost complete

Today, Elon Musk announced via Twitter that the first Boring Company test tunnel under Los Angeles is almost finished. When it's complete, the system will be able to carry pedestrians, cyclists and private vehicles at speeds of 155 mph. People will be able to try the loop out for free at a special event at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, CA, on December 10th.

Also at LA Times, The Verge, and The Washington Post.

    Is this the silly company that was going to build a long rescue sub that had a good chance of getting stuck in the cave in Thailand? Dealing with tunnels might not be one of their strengths

    "Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids' soccer team." https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-thai-caves-boy-rescue-spacex-tesla-2018-7/ [businessinsider.com]

    I would say it was more likely produced in the SpaceX facilities as it was mentioned that it was made of rocket parts. Same Guy, wrong company.
