Tennessee partners with Elon Musk on Tesla tunnel between Nashville and airport (wpln.org)

So the boring company has all of one completed project (Vegas) that isn't what was promised, and a bunch of abandoned plans?

This seems like a boondoggle.

I don't understand why they would dig a tunnel to make a private Tesla-only highway instead of just putting in the overstreet light rail system that they voted down in 2018. Like it seems stupidly impractical and expensive. New york has underground subways because it's a very densely packed metropolis. Why does Nashville need an underground transit system?

> “Tough place to tunnel,” [Boring Co. President] Davis said. “If we were optimizing for easiest places to tunnel, it would not be here. You have extremely hard rock, like, way harder than it should be … But it’s an engineering problem that’s fairly straightforward to solve.”

Don’t forget that you’re doing this in a river valley. But no worries, it’s just a straightforward engineering problem.
