The Boring Co. secures land in major LA corridor for upcoming Loop station
The Boring Company has secured a parcel of land in West Los Angeles for a future Loop station along its first LA-route. As could be seen in recent sale records and filings with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of California, Elon Musk’s tunneling startup under the entity name “TBC – The Boring Company” secured a commercial-zoned property located at 2352-2356 S Sepulveda Boulevard in April of this year.
The property lies along the path of the Boring Company’s proposed 6.5-mile long proof-of-concept tunnel that would run from northeast Westchester to Brentwood, one of the most traffic-congested sections in the West Los Angeles area. The tunnel system, a section of which seems to be nearing completion based on recent social media teasers from The Boring Company, would run under Sepulveda Blvd. and right across Culver City.
The location of the land purchased by the company was initially tipped off to us by Robert of the Talking Tesla podcast, who posted a photo of the site as a response to a tweet from the tunneling startup. The location, which could be seen on Google Maps, appears to have been used previously as a wood storage area. The land itself was sold through Marcus & Millichap, a commercial real estate brokerage firm. Marcus & Millichap was offering the land for $4.7 million, and as public records show, on February 1, 2018, it was purchased for a price of $4.6 million.

The Sepulveda Blvd. lots were purchased by Jadejams Property LLC, which was newly incorporated in January 2018. On February 1, Jadejams purchased the land from Marcus & Millichap. Filings submitted to the office of the Secretary of State of the State of CA reveal that Jadejams Property LLC is listed with a business address of 12200 Crenshaw Blvd., which is the street adjacent to SpaceX’s headquarters and right above the Boring Company’s test tunnel. Furthermore, Jadejams Property LLC’s filings also list The Boring Company as its sole manager. Jared Birchall, who is linked to Elon Musk through Neuralink, is listed as the person who completed Jadejams Property LLC’s filing.
The Boring Company’s Loop stations are designed to be small loading zones and exits where passengers could use for access to the company’s underground tunnel system. Passengers in the Loop system would be carried from one destination to another in an electric-powered pod, which would be manufactured by Tesla and be capable of transporting up to 16 passengers at a time. The Loop system will not use vacuum sealed tunnels and hence, will not support hyperloop transport. Nevertheless, the pods in the Loop would still be able to reach speeds of up to 150 mph, thanks to an eight-wheel design that would be fitted on the sides of the vehicle. The Loop system is set to be used by the Boring Company in the Chicago-O’Hare high-speed transport system, which is set to begin in the near future.
According to Elon Musk, The Boring Company would be offering free demo rides on the Hawthorne test tunnel soon. If the company’s recent social media uploads from the tunneling startup are any indication, test rides in the test tunnel would be both an exhilarating and colorful experience for passengers.

Starlink wrapped up 2025 with impressive growth, adding more than 4.6 million new active customers and expanding service to 35 additional countries, territories, and markets. The company also completed deployment of its first-generation Direct to Cell constellation, launching over 650 satellites in just 18 months to enable cellular connectivity.
SpaceX highlighted Starlink’s impressive 2025 progress in an extensive report.
Key achievements from Starlink’s 2025 Progress
Starlink connected over 4.6 million new customers with high-speed internet while bringing service to 35 more regions worldwide in 2025. Starlink is now connecting 9.2 million people worldwide. The service achieved this just weeks after hitting its 8 million customer milestone.
Starlink is now available in 155 markets, including areas that are unreachable by traditional ISPs. As per SpaceX, Starlink has also provided over 21 million airline passengers and 20 million cruise passengers with reliable high-speed internet connectivity during their travels.
Starlink Direct to Cell
Starlink’s Direct to Cell constellation, more than 650 satellites strong, has already connected over 12 million people at least once, marking a breakthrough in global mobile coverage.
Starlink Direct to Cell is currently rolled out to 22 countries and 6 continents, with over 6 million monthly customers. Starlink Direct to Cell also has 27 MNO partners to date.
“This year, SpaceX completed deployment of the first generation of the Starlink Direct to Cell constellation, with more than 650 satellites launched to low-Earth orbit in just 18 months. Starlink Direct to Cell has connected more than 12 million people, and counting, at least once, providing life-saving connectivity when people need it most,” SpaceX wrote.

Tesla Giga Nevada celebrates production of 6 millionth drive unit
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
6 million drive units
The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote.
The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.
Giga Nevada’s essential role
Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.
Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.

Tesla Supercharger network delivers record 6.7 TWh in 2025
The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets.
Tesla’s Supercharger Network had its biggest year ever in 2025, delivering a record 6.7 TWh of electricity to vehicles worldwide.
To celebrate its busy year, the official @TeslaCharging account shared an infographic showing the Supercharger Network’s growth from near-zero in 2012 to this year’s impressive milestone.
Record 6.7 TWh delivered in 2025
The bar chart shows steady Supercharger energy delivery increases since 2012. Based on the graphic, the Supercharger Network started small in the mid-2010s and accelerated sharply after 2019, when the Model 3 was going mainstream.
Each year from 2020 onward showed significantly more energy delivery, with 2025’s four quarters combining for the highest total yet at 6.7 TWh.
This energy powered millions of charging sessions across Tesla’s growing fleet of vehicles worldwide. The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets. This makes the Supercharger Network loved not just by Tesla owners but EV drivers as a whole.
Resilience after Supercharger team changes
2025’s record energy delivery comes despite earlier 2024 layoffs on the Supercharger team, which sparked concerns about the system’s expansion pace. Max de Zegher, Tesla Director of Charging North America, also highlighted that “Outside China, Superchargers delivered more energy than all other fast chargers combined.”
Longtime Tesla owner and FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog noted the achievement as proof of continued momentum post-layoffs. At the time of the Supercharger team’s layoffs in 2024, numerous critics were claiming that Elon Musk was halting the network’s expansion altogether, and that the team only remained because the adults in the room convinced the juvenile CEO to relent.
Such a scenario, at least based on the graphic posted by the Tesla Charging team on X, seems highly implausible.
