It’s not much to go on, but at least we know the date the tunnel should open. The tunnel is under Hawthorne in the Los Angeles area. Its opening will mark a major milestone for the Boring Company, whose most impressive product until now has been a flamethrower. Musk’s Boring Company envisions a future where a series of high-speed underground tunnels connect major cities, reducing travel times.
