It doesn't take a degree in Civil Engineering to understand that tunneling is one of the most expensive forms of construction; Good Luck with that, Mr. Musk.

Saw an article about the Tesla Gigafactory he's building in Austin. Says it will be the size of 138 football fields which is just shy of 8 million square feet!!! Crazy!
