Even if Boring Test Tunnel is how
TBC refers to it internally, I'm not convinced it counts as the
WP:COMMONNAME, and there are other test tunnels that have been bored by other companies so it isn't
WP:PRECISE. Nor should test and tunnel be capitalised per
WP:TITLEFORMAT.
I'd suggest The Boring Company Hawthorne test tunnel; arguably the "The Boring Company test tunnel" would be more
WP:CONCISE but there are likely to be other test tunnels for other TBC ventures in the future.

Could not find a clear common name, so went with a [hopefully] descriptive title (per
WP:NDESC). Vaguely hoping that after the press surrounding the opening on 10 December 2018 a clearer name will present itself. —

Fair enough, though if it isn't intended as a proper name then it should definitely be sentence case rather than title case. Anyway, let's hope you're right that a clearer common name will prevail once we have a few more secondary sources.

The speed that a car apparently achieved in that tunnel is not the operating speed of said tunnel. I will change it to 49mph if there are no objections.
