Elon Musk offers peek at traffic-dodging tunnel in Los Angeles
How much progress is Elon Musk's Boring Company making on its traffic-skipping tunnel in Los Angeles? A fair amount, it seems. Musk has shared the first photo of the underground test path, and it's evident that the team has been busy. The image itself isn't much to look at -- surprise, it's a tunnel -- but it does show a substantially polished design, including cabling, paneled surfaces and tracks. He adds that the tunnel is currently 500 feet long, and will take about a year to extend along the stretch of Interstate 405 running "from LAX to the 101."

Elon Musk is once again updating everyone on the progress of his tunnel-digging operation's first segment. Judging from his latest vid, even the process of entering the underground route will be more elaborate than what we're currently used to. Fittingly, the Instagram clip shows a Tesla Model S driving on to a vertical lift platform and descending into the tunnel. It's enough to make you feel like Batman entering the Batcave.
Elon Musk's first tunnel should be up and running next week
Elon Musk recently announced that his tunnel-digging operation, The Boring Company, is done carving out its first segment. He bundled the announcement with a declaration of love for tunnels -- which he totally loves more than floors, by the way -- but didn't talk about the first tunnel portion's location. Musk's latest tweets, however, are rife with clues about its location, and by the looks of things, The Boring Company's Godot machine has begun digging right across from the SpaceX building in Hawthorne, LA County.
