Tesla Completes the Cybertunnel: How It Improves Cybertruck Production

Tesla’s newly completed Cybertunnel, designed exclusively for transporting Cybertrucks out of Giga Texas, is now fully operational. While its construction briefly delayed Cybertruck production, causing a short three-day pause, the long-term benefits far outweigh the short setback.

With the tunnel now open and operational, Tesla can seamlessly move Cybertrucks from the production floor to the transport area.

Creating the Cybertunnel

This tunnel is anything but boring. Excavated by Elon Musk’s Boring Company, which specializes in cutting-edge tunneling technology, this 1,355-foot passage was built explicitly for the Cybertruck—and that’s exactly what’s rolling through it.

The Boring Co. completed the entire tunnel in just nine weeks—a testament to Prufrock 3’s capabilities.

With a major highway in the way, we needed a faster & safer way to connect production with our end of line shop & outbound lot

Why Build the Cybertunnel

This Cybertunnel isn’t just for the sake of making a grand appearance. It’s responsible for bringing completed Cybertrucks directly from the Giga Texas production line to the outbound shipping lot - which happens to be located on the other side of a major highway. This allows Tesla to quickly load vehicles going anywhere in North America.

By building the underground tunnel, Tesla connects its loading lot to the factory and avoids using public roads or having to load up Cybertrucks at the factory, where space is constrained. Crossing the highway on a level crossing would also mean the trucks would need to be registered and plated, as they’re no longer on private property.

New Cybertruck Route

The Cybertunnel has interior and exterior lighting. The external face on the outbound lot side looks like a Cybertruck, complete with a Cybertruck lightbar in the front. After Cybertrucks make their way through the tunnel, they take a right turn at the exit of the tunnel and make their way to the outbound lot, all prepped and ready for loading.

The Cybertunnel drastically reduces the time and effort it takes to get the Cybertruck to the loading lot. Tesla is all about efficiencies and vertical integration, and this is just one more example of how Tesla is able to reduce vehicle costs by making vehicles more efficiently.
