The Boring Company took 2 years to go 6000 ft at 15’ diameter excavated. There are plenty of ways to slice and dice this number up but the short version is that this is not faster than how the original TBM performed (let alone 3x) - I know the guys that Elon bought the TBM from and the guys that those guys bought it from. As I’ve said in previous posts about this, TBM operation is not the limiting factor in building a tunnel. Permit acquisition and third parties are the longest part of tunneling projects by far.
