The Boring Company's latest test tunnel was about 1034 times slower than a snail (their current stated goal).

How does this compare to other companies that dig tunnels?

Per Musk's original introduction of the snail, it's 14x faster than existing boring machines. So TBC did extremely poorly.

Has the Boring Company really achieved anything that is not a flamethrower (not not a flamethrower?) and a slow EV taxi lane under Las Vegas?

Well , yes, that’s how development and improvement work. You have to start somewhere and Improve from there.

Remember, the first SpaceX launch attempts didn’t make orbit. Did that make them quit because they ‘failed’?

Improvement is the name of musks game
