Elon Musk's Boring Company could be expanding beyond California

Elon Musk is ready to take his Boring Company's tunnels outside of California.

The eccentric businessman outlined potential sites for his tunnels in a series of new tweets, teasing an East Coast network of the super-fast underground transportation vehicles.

Musk cited "verbal government approval" for his new projects, which would conceivably connect major eastern US cities like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC.

A much bigger version of the big dig.  St Elon.  What could go right?

Americas favorite Welfare Queen branching out into new areas of grift.

Tesla's $5 billion facility in Nevada (jointly with Panasonic) turning out batteries, and employing over 1,000 so far.

Planned employment is 6,500. Three other states, including TEXAS were in the running for the facility.

If it's truly Boring he should add Al Gore to the board immediately.

Wow. Employs over 1000 folks making batteries for a govt' subsidized car. Does that make them govt' employees since the taxpayers pay them?

Saint Elon.....Teaming up with the Chevy Volt to see who can sell the fewest BEV models.

I hope the asshat Who holds the lease on those properties got paid upfront.

I am always curious to learn about similar, real world situations. Tennessee no doubt used financial incentives to attract the VW Group's investment in their Chattanooga facility. Likewise South Carolina for their BMW facilities.

Several states including Texas applied for the Tesla-Panasonic plants. Seems like in the real world, a lot of America's commerce, infrastructure, employment involve government-private partnerships. Like it or not.

My idea of an "alternative" power vehicle:

BMW i8

Seating capacity: 4
MSRP: From $143,400
Horsepower: 357 hp
Range: 15 mi battery-only
Torque: 420 lb-ft
Engine: 1.5 L 3-cylinder

No thanks.   The dollar to HP rating is why too high.   


Besides I like my hybrids to burn Gas and Rubber.
