You have failed to grasp the obvious corporate mission set out for The Boring Company: sell flamethrowers and fun hats, and provide an opportunity to recreate one of the best Monty Python movies scenes.

You are clearly overlooking the additional benefit that once this becomes operationalized, situations where children become trapped in caves will be a thing of the past. Every human will have their own tunnel navigating Tesla and our bright future as mole people can really begin. 

You are selling this idea very short.

I’m blocking deadspin from my Google feed after this story. 

Hey man, is that amazon pop under ad at the top of the page something new or do I have spyware on this machine?

I agree with this all, but most subway and light rail speeds are lower than 49 mph. But, a tunnel full of Teslas will surely go closer to the speed at what most rail systems travel.
