Musk's underground car mover makes an appearance. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
FRIDAY, JUNE 30 2017 By Darrell Etherington

Tesla's CEO goes on another Twitter tear, macOS High Sierra enters public beta and Zillow steps back from a dangerous ledge. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for June 30, 2017. Get your weekend shoes on.

1. Musk's carlevator is coming along

Elon Musk is building an elevator over the July 4 holiday – one that will be used to move cars and other transportation means below ground for his ambitious tunnel transport network project.

The CEO said that his 'vator should be ready to operate next week, at least in demo form, so that's pretty cool. This weird tunnel side project is getting more serious all the time.

2. Meanwhile Tesla Model 3 news incoming...

In case you're bored with Boring, Musk also promised some Model 3 news from Tesla coming this Sunday. We should hopefully find out when the first deliveries are arriving, which will also get us our first official look at the final design, and hopefully, configuration options.

3. High Sierra's highlights

MacOS's High Sierra update is available in public beta, and it looks like a good update for the Mac operating system. It's mostly about improving on existing features, rather than doling out new ones, but it seems like a solid improvement.

4. Zillow quashes conflict with McMansion Hell

Zillow won no fans by sending a threatening legal letter to McMansion Hell, and it stepped back once the EFF jumped to the blogger's defense. She's agreed not to use their images in future, but that's more because she's nice than because of any actual legal obligation not to.

5. Netflix to provide on-demand closure for Sense8 fans

Sense8, one of Netflix's biggest budget originals, got canceled after Season 2. But it's coming back for one final two-hour episode to wrap things up neatly, after fans clamored for closure. That's a lot more than TV fans usually get.

6. The iPhone's evolution

The iPhone just turned 10, and its popularity is a testament to its ongoing improvements. Devin has a look at its defining upgrades across generations, painting a picture of what Apple saw as most important to its biggest customers.

7. Facebook's internet drone takes to the skies once again

Facebook's huge, internet-beaming Aquila drone took flight for its second test run, and this time, it landed without any major incidents (although it still has to work out some bugs with those propellers). Looks good for FB's plan to blanket the world in accessible internet.

Drones and more are on tap for discussion at TechCrunch's upcoming TC Sessions on robotics, which is taking place July 17 in Boston. Get tickets here:
