Boring Company

I always wondered why they were digging that tunnel when they had a perfectly good freeway underpass they were using. But having it inside the building is pretty cool.

No extra turns, traffic, nor public road laws to contend with.

Yeah I know. They can get rid of their small army of drivers and just have the vehicles drive themselves to the staging lot. Which is yet another flex.

Their Dream Was to Build an Organic Farm. Then Elon Musk Moved Into the Neighborhood.

The Tesla CEO has brought jobs to Bastrop, Texas. Along the way, some locals say, the Boring Company, SpaceX, and suppliers have upended a way of life.

Earlier this year, the Boring Company began construction on the Colorado River Connector Tunnel at the Tesla factory in Austin, which would, it appears, privately connect the automotive plant to a new Boring Company warehouse a few miles away. After Ambrose filed a complaint with TCEQ in April that white liquid was spilling from the tunnel, agency investigators found that the Boring Company had not applied for an air permit before construction began—a major violation that can warrant fines and penalties as high as $25,000 a day. Two years ago this month, TCEQ cited the Boring Company for a violation of state regulations after neighbors complained that it had begun its tunneling operation in Bastrop without an air permit, a certification that is required for certain kinds of construction that involve emissions. Investigators said Boring was not penalized for that violation because the company was new to Texas and had no history of noncompliance in the state.

Another Elon Musk company in blatant violation of the law and will, apparently, receive no consequences for it.
