About his plans to build a Hyperloop line between new York and Washington Elon Musk, head of SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company, announced last week — according to him, he has already received verbal permission to build. But to have a rapid transit branch and between plants, Tesla would be very cool — so transport costs are now very high, will be significantly reduced. What line Hyperloop may be a good help, he wrote in his Twitter.
LA-SF-Reno/Sparks would be great. Logistics costs for Tesla Sparks-Fremont (batteries & motors) and Fremont-LA (finished cars) are gigantic.

Road, tunnel and space business is only at first glance are not connected. If you look closely, you can see that many of his projects share a common goal. For dug tunnels can not just go on the machines inside them perfectly fit line Hyperloop, which, in turn, are ideal for transporting components and even finished products. This point will become especially important when, for example, Tesla will be a new factory. But the company plans soon to acquire new production capacity — then tunnel the traffic (and preferably with high-speed capsule inside) and will be useful for fast delivery of spare parts, batteries and other things.
Last month, Musk said that he owned The Boring Company has already started to drill a tunnel in Los Angeles, and even ended its first segment. New drill rig success is not reported.
