PRUFROCK: ELON’S TUNNELING MACHINE IS COMING FOR GARY THE SNAIL

The Boring Company’s newest invention, Prufrock, is a tunneling robot that “porpoises” — meaning it launches straight from the surface, digs underground, then resurfaces without needing giant pits.

It can start tunneling within XX hours of arriving, and it’s fast — over X mile per week.

 That’s X times faster than the last model, though still slower than a snail. But not for long.

Prufrock’s next goal? 

Beat 1/10th of human walking speed, or X miles per day. 

To get there, it mines continuously, installs tunnel walls on the go, and uses rubber wheels instead of old-school rails.

It’s all-electric, cleaner than diesel machines, and the dirt it digs up? It might become bricks or park paths.
