@walkinghispath @PalmerLuckey The tunnel doesn't unload the ships, they'll be fine

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

Boring Company building a tunnel from Long Beach to the Inland Empire so we can move containers on electric self-driving chassis at 100 mph average speed (versus ~10 mph today) would transform American logistics forever.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@BayouBikeyBoi Saving $500 per container would be nice though....

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@PalmerLuckey Yeah just need to get past all the traffic in the city. Ideally once over there the tunnels can exit direct to all the various warehouses

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@MTSlive Why aren't we doing grizzly bears @PalmerLuckey ?

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

Another big typhoon heading for Shanghai today. More shipment delays incoming.

@crossinrocks @TimothyDooner @grok how will boring company handle earthquakes?

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@JoseGom75457788 1) there's not
2) the dwell for containers getting loaded on rail in LA can be several days to several weeks (totally unpredictable) while trucks just go grab stuff
3) many port terminals don't have on-dock rail so you have to truck things to the rail head

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@TimMcDonaldEMA Boring Company can just build it, zero cost to tax payers.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@KeyboardChuck earthquakes are surface phenomenon

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@TimothyDooner It's just a tunnel.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@leononrails They already have this capability we just need the government to let them build it.

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

@paducah Boring Company can do it easily. The governments won't allow it.
