I'm 100% convinced this is what Elon Musk's end goal is. Tesla is just buying him time until he can pull it off. The Boring Company is a backup plan.

Elon Musk has always said he wants to die on Mars. The Boring Company is useful on earth for transport, as well as on Mars (underground habitats).

Edit: now I’m interested in how many BFR flights gets one TBM to Mars surface

"Lots".

It depends on how big the TBM is and you also have to ship a bunch of power generation to run it and so on.
