The article is confusing. It says that they are supposed to deliver two tunnels - are both going on at the same time?

It also says that they’re 6 football fields in: 1800 ft. This is only 35% of the stated mile length for the tunnel. Under what metric is this tunnel or project 50% complete?



This article from 10 days ago says "About 1,900 feet of the 4,300-foot-long tunnel has been dug in the seven weeks since the project’s kickoff".

So I think the Teslarati article just rounded 4,300 feet up to "a mile" (=5,280 feet). 1900/4300 = 44%.


Also good to note that Teslarati is an "Elon Musk fan boy" blog. Anything that you read there is usually lacking critical sense. They probably rounded 44% to 50%
