I don't buy the parent's arguments, but the $150m figure isn't too far from what Musk has pitched [1]:
> Currently, tunnels are really expensive to dig, with some projects costing as much as $1 billion per mile. In order to make a tunnel network feasible, tunneling costs must be reduced by a factor of more than 10.
So, a factor of 10 is $100m,
but we don't know what "or more" means at this point.
