SpaceX runs its Tesla-powered pusher at 220 mph on Hyperloop test track.




Elon Musk apparently felt
 left out when student teams
 competed to achieve top speed
on the SpaceX Hyperloop test
 track last weekend, because
he decided to run the
SpaceX pusher vehicle, which
includes a Tesla drivetrain, down
 the track on its own to
 see how fast it could go.The            Tesla/SpaceX vehicle,which                         works basically like aHyperloop tug boat to propel some of the student pods that don’t                     have their own built-inmotor for acceleration, managed to get up to 220 mph in the sealed             vacuum tunnel,which is faster than the winning student team at 201 mph.
