Elon Musk's Boring Company picks 3 cities for underground tunnels

Key Points:

• The Boring Company, founded by Elon Musk, selected Baltimore, Dallas, and New Orleans as winners of its Tunnel Vision Challenge, awarding each city a one-mile privately funded underground tunnel for commuter use.
• These tunnels, designed to alleviate surface traffic, will be 12 to 14 feet in diameter, built over 30 feet deep, and intended for high-speed, all-electric transportation, with potential future Hyperloop integration.
• The company plans to fund and build all three tunnels but stated it would proceed with only one if feasibility limits arise; construction timelines have not been announced.
• The Boring Company is also advancing its Music City Loop project in Nashville, expected to exceed 12 miles and connect key city locations, while exploring expansions in San Antonio, Hendersonville, and other Tennessee cities.
• To date, the only operational Boring Company tunnel is the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, which has transported over 3 million passengers since 2021 and is slated for significant expansion approved by Las Vegas city officials.
