"The first tunnel is almost done. Opens Dec 10," Musk tweeted.
It will be unveiled at an opening event that eveing and will offer ‘free rides for the public the next day,’ he added.
Hyp[erloop speeds could eventually reach over 482km/h although Musk says the test tunnel will be restricted to a top speed of 250 km/h.
