TBC has iterated through three generations of TBMs – Godot (off-the-shelf TBM), Godot+ (50% faster than Godot), and Prufrock (pictured above). Each TBM was developed to further increase tunneling speed and reduce tunneling cost.
Prufrock has been designed to launch directly from the surface and will achieve speeds of more than 10x faster than Godot.

The Boring Company
The Boring Company (also known as TBC) is an American infrastructure and tunnel construction services company founded by Elon Musk in December 2016. Musk cited difficulty with Los Angeles traffic and limitations with the current two-dimensional transportation network as his early inspiration for the project. The Boring Company was initially formed in December 2016 as a subsidiary of SpaceX, becoming a separate and fully independent company in 2018. As of December 2018, 90% of the equity was owned by Musk, with 6% held by SpaceX as return for the use of SpaceX resources during the initial startup of the company. Outside investments during 2019 have changed the equity split.
