Thank you to @ClarkCountyNV for approving an additional 19 Vegas Loop stations - Vegas Loop is now entitled for 123 stations!
Because Loop is point-to-point with no intermediate stops, in the limit, one could have a Loop station in every driveway!

Prufrock builds tunnel rings fully autonomously.
Six concrete segments (~3,750 lb each), are lifted, translated and placed into final position.
That's the weight of a Tesla Model 3, placed with millimeter precision in < 1 minute, monitored remotely from the Global OCC in Texas.

Prufrock-MB2 is ready to mine in Nashville! MB2 commissioning is complete, including the brief 11 rpm rotation shown here.
Will MB2 catch up to MB1, who had quite the head start?
And Prufrock-MB3 ships in August!

Tunneling in 3 geologies in 3 cities - Las Vegas clay/caliche, Nashville limestone, and Bastrop sandy clay
See how Prufrock continuously mines - pushing and building at the same time.
The machines, from Las Vegas to Dubai, are remotely controlled from our Bastrop Operations Center.
These advances help TBC deliver more miles each year in the battle against soul-destroying traffic.

Join tunneling – the underground movement
Elon Musk on why tunnels became reality:
“Everyone thought it was a joke. We made it a company”
The idea behind The Boring Company is actually simple physics and geometry:
Cities are becoming vertically 3D with massive skyscrapers and dense urban centers, yet transportation systems are still mostly trapped in 2D surface streets
That mismatch creates unavoidable congestion
A fully 3D transport network with tunnels running beneath cities could theoretically scale to almost any traffic level while dramatically reducing surface congestion
Elon says there’s still enormous opportunity in tunneling and surprisingly only few companies taking it seriously

The view of the rock directly in front of Prufrock-MB1 in Nashville.
This shot is only possible when Prufrock-MB1 “shifts into reverse” and backs up from the rock face, allowing detailed inspection of the cutterhead.
