The Boring Company teases Prufrock 5 tunnel boring machine
The Boring Company recently teased its Prufrock 5 tunnel boring machine (TBM) in a recent X post.
Elon Musk’s tunneling company recently posted pictures on X showcasing Prufrock 4’s lighting test inside the Boring Factory. However, in the corner of one of the photos, hidden in the dark, is a glimpse of Prufrock 5.
The Boring Company’s Prufrock 5 TBM hasn’t been on the field yet. However, the pictures show it is almost ready for initial tests.
Meanwhile, Prufrock 4 is nearly ready to go on its first mission. In August, The Boring Company started tests on Prufrock 4 at its factory in Bastrop, Texas. According to the tunneling company, Prufrock 4 is 308 feet long and weighs 797,000 pounds. It also produces up to 4.7 million pounds of thrust.

Then there is Prufrock 3, which recently broke through its first completed tunnel in Las Vegas. Before Sin City, the third iteration of Prufrock finished digging the Cybertunnel at Giga Texas. Prufrock 3 is keeping busy while its siblings are back in Texas. Its next launch is already scheduled for October 30.
In 2022, The Boring Company raised $675 million to scale boring machine production and more.
“Prufrock is a next-generation Tunnel Boring Machine designed to construct mega-infrastructure projects in a matter of weeks instead of years, and at a fraction of the cost. The current iteration of Prufrock, called Prufrock-2, is designed to mine at up to 1 mile/week, meaning a tunnel the length of the Las Vegas strip (approximately 4 miles) can be completed in a month,” noted TBC at the time.
