I'd prefer they do a pilot out in the desert or something, or from e.g. the tesla megafactory to the nearest bus stop, not under city ground - it'd cause problems (or maybe provide a head start) if the city wants to build a metro there.

They want people to use this, so it makes to do it in a place where there are actually people, and an incentive for those people to choose this form of transport over others, like driving.
The same would happen with the Tesla Gigafactory in NV, the closest "city" is sparks(Reno), which is where all the wrokers live. So a link from there to sparks would make sense. The downside is a bunch of that land is all BLM, so it would take dealing with the feds to make it happen, which might be difficult and delay things crazily.
