Elon Musk's Boring Company Is Making A Tunnel At Giga Texas For Transporting Cybertrucks

What Happened: “Prufrock-3 has emerged in the Tesla Giga Texas expansion!,” The Boring Company announced on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday. The “Cybertunnel,” it said, will be online in July.

The tunnel, Tesla Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill explained in a post, will connect the end of Cybertruck’s manufacturing line to the logistics lot for shipment and deliveries. The move will help reduce traffic on site and improve quality, as per Morill.

Tesla is currently ramping up the production of Cybertruck since it commenced deliveries in late November. The company aims to deliver 250,000 Cybertrucks annually. However, the delivery target will not be reached this year but only in 2025, Musk has previously said.

Why It Matters: Tesla's Giga Texas covers 2,500 acres along the Colorado River. Presently, the factory floor is spread over only 10 million square feet, offering considerable potential for further expansion. 

The Boring Company is one of the several companies founded by Musk. It aims to solve traffic with underground tunnel systems or loops that enable rapid point-to-point transportation.
