A Tesla in a Tunnel

Elon Musk just showed to us what happens when you take a couple of your own companies and mash them up together. Here is a Tesla Model S in a tunnel created by Musk’s company, The Boring Company.

The Boring Company is a tunnel boring company which Musk owns which aims to transport cars through electric skates underground at speeds of up to 200 kmh. In the photo above the car is seen driving through the tunnel but that is just to showcase that a car can fit in the tunnel. Cars will be lowered into the tunnel via an elevator and zoomed across to their destinations.
