NEWS: Elon Musk's The Boring Company has released an update on the tunnel it's building in Nashville. The initial airport-to-downtown tunnel will carry 20,000-30,000 people per hour and have 20 stations. • Prufrock-MB1 is assembled, in the shaft, and will be ready to start tunneling by Dec 15th. • Out of 45 necessary permits, 27 have been approved and 10 are under review, while the remainder relate to proposed route expansions. • A comprehensive environmental impact study found no significant risks, and TBC reports zero safety incidents to date Future add-on stations will not slow the system’s travel times. A rider traveling from Centennial Park to the airport, for example, would still make the trip in about ten minutes regardless of how many intermediate stations are added later.

Correction: The Boring Company is at $10M cost per mile TODAY, with a hope to hit $3M–$4M cost per mile within the next few years 🔥

Proposed $20 Trillion tunnel would get you from New York to London in 54 minutes.

Elon has long hated public transit, which he thinks carries a bunch of “serial killers.” He instead wants everyone to drive a car (preferably a Tesla). Now he has government power & is trying to kill off CA’s high speed rail project. It’s called killing off the competition. 🧵

If your traveling on a Chinese bullet train and you get hungry you can simply scan the QR code on the armrest and order food. But it’s not train food, it can be literally anything. KFC, Starbucks, Chinese food, even convenience store food. When the train makes the next stop it will be delivered to the train and then an attendant will bring it directly to your seat.
