Since he announced a planned hyperloop route from New York to Washington DC yesterday, Elon Musk has been talking about other possible routes for his new Boring Company. Now a Hyperloop route all the way up to Tesla Gigafactory 1 in Nevada is apparently being considered for cargo. When Musk first conceptualized the Hyperloop system, it was mainly presented as a new efficient and super fast way to move people from one point to another, but the potential for freight transport was also presented as a possibility and Tesla has to move a lot of cargo to build its cars and then ship them around the world. For the past few years, most of Tesla’s production was concentrated in Fremont, California, but now Gigafactory 1 in Sparks, Nevada is about to be just as important with the production of Model 3 battery packs and drivetrains.

Now Musk is considering covering the route with an underground Hyperloop system built in a tunnel bored by his new startup, The Boring Company. LA-SF-Reno/Sparks would be great. Tesla logistics costs for Sparks-Fremont (batteries & motors) and Fremont-LA (finished cars) are gigantic.
