Elon Musk announced Sunday that the first tunnel of a proposed underground transportation network across Los Angeles County would open Dec. 10.

“The first tunnel is almost done,” Musk tweeted to his 23.1 million followers shortly after 5 p.m.

Musk’s Boring Co. is building the tunnel beneath the city of Hawthorne, part of his grand vision for a transportation network that whisks commuters across the county. Last year, Hawthorne officials approved the Boring Co.’s request to tunnel west from Space X headquarters. At the time, they said the tunnel had extended 500 feet.

The company has said its technology could move vehicles, as well as pods carrying passengers and bicyclists, through tunnels at speeds of up to 130 mph.

I think that picture was taken earlier in the process. Those tracks seem to be for conveyance of equipment and personnel during construction. They do not look like the ‘permanent tracks’ that surely are there by now.

As far as being crooked, I think it is part of the optical illusion that makes this tunnel appear very short.

That's not to say it is perfectly straight, it's just that the 'crookedness' looks worse than it is due to the perspective.
