Reporters and invited guests took some of the first journeys in the subterranean tube system beneath the surface of Los Angeles, which could eventually hit speeds of 150mph. The vehicle jostled significantly during the journey, which was bumpy enough to give one reporter motion sickness. And at 40mph, the demo journeys were considerably slower than the future system will run at, according to Mr Musk. Guests were driven along the city’s streets in a Tesla Model S electric car about a mile away from the departure point known as O’Leary Station. The station, situated in the middle of a residential area … [Read more...] about Bumpy first test run for Elon Musk’s traffic-busting LA subterranean tube

The name of the person and the timing of the flight will be announced on Monday at SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California.
