A thunderwell on Earth is a non-starter for several reasons. Mars has less gravity, much less atmosphere, and a massive dormant volcano that stands higher than most of that atmosphere. Robots capable of resource processing and manufacturing could excavate a borehole and reinforce the walls, place a nuke at the bottom, and then seal it with vaporizable material. I don't know of any useful payload that could survive such acceleration however.
