It's even worse than you think: "Boring says it can improve tunneling speeds with fully electrified machines and by digging continuously, rather than stopping to assemble sections of the tunnel wall" Boring Co has so few people who know what they're doing that they don't even know why tunnel walls are built continuously as the tunnel is bored. (Hint: it's done to avoid cave-ins!) Boring Co's "speed improvements" are literally just from ignoring the safety considerations and logistics behind why their competitors all do things the way they do. This is like crypto re-discovering financial history, except that Boring Co's mistakes could literally kill someone. And I hope Elon's in the tunnel when the walls finally collapse on this face.
