Beat the snail

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 long journey of rock in Nashville
Hiring Welders, CWIs, and Electrical Techs in Bastrop, TX!
Apply for the May 28 Boring Factory event (and see Prufrock!) if you’re:
-A strong flux-core welder, or can run a high-output shop
-An eTech who can build high-power panels and cable assemblies

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.

Transporting Prufrock-2 across Las Vegas!
This TBM section weighs ~465,000 lb and The Monster (beneath the TBM) weighs ~140,000 lb.
Prufrock-2 will next re-launch directly off The Monster to build its 5th tunnel.

Had a great time touring @boringcompany's Music City Loop launch site with faculty, staff and students from @VUMChealth Department of Biomedical Informatics. Can't wait to get from my office to @Fly_Nashville in 9 minutes! The future of transportation is coming to @visitmusiccity

TBC is excited to announce the first residential Music City Loop station agreement, serving those living at the beautiful Prime, Alcove, and Paramount towers in downtown Nashville.
Residents will take an elevator directly to a Loop station within the building, board a Tesla, and be at the airport in ~9 minutes or Lower Broadway in ~2 minutes.

The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

Thank you, @boringcompany, for inviting @HumeFoggKnights for a site visit in Nashville! It was really informative and one of the students is now interested in becoming a Mechanical Engineer after talking with the Lead Tunnel Engineer. Your passion for your work is contagious!

Teslas are in tunnels under Vegas transporting millions of people
The 2026 Not-a-Boring Competition is officially underway in Bastrop, TX!
Eight student teams watched Prufrock-5 digging a test tunnel, toured the Boring Factory, and delivered their Mining Readiness Review presentations to our engineers.
