Yeah, there was talk of going under the river to the property on the other side.
Interior tunnel to the outbound lot would sweet though.

Short tunnels will always be expensive per mile. If they can beat Gary the snail then there will be close to an infinite amount of profitable projects worldwide.
We have no idea what the delay is. It could be that the other end, which will likely pop up inside the factory extension, isn’t ready to receive the boring tunnel. OR a critical part for the machine isn’t ready. OR they need a special permit to dig under the freeway and they haven’t got it yet.
I do think the Vegas tunnels are started much quicker than this one.
Or they are using this for training and there is no reason to hurry.
Thinking about it some more, I’d bet it is permitting delays. They’ve never had to pull a permit like this in Texas that crosses under public land. No doubt the Texas permitting agencies are requesting lots of information and analysis.
They have though, there are two tunnels under Farm to Market 1209 that go between between Boring Co and SpaceX in Bastrop, TX.
They were also dealing with permits for the tunnel under the Colorado River.
Elon Musk’s Boring Co. Nears Deal to Build Tunnel in Florida - BNN Bloomberg
The project would transport Tesla-riding passengers about 2.5 miles to the Fort Lauderdale beach from downtownwww.bnnbloomberg.ca
Looks like another boring tunnel is set in Ft Lauderdale, Boring Company won the contract
"The loop would represent Boring Co.’s first commercial undertaking outside of Nevada and poses significant challenges that would be new for its engineers, such as tunneling under water."
Boring wasn't chosen last year, but a bunch of data in Volume 3.

Nice fud
"the material was being dumped in a private lot to dry before being shipped elsewhere. The lot, which is being used by a contractor with a permit and permission to use the site for a storm drain project on Karen Avenue unrelated to the Boring Company’s tunnels, allowed the company to use the space to dump the wet dirt from the tunnel construction."
But some Karen decided they don't want the dirt there and complained, just assuming the worst that it was illegal.
