The Boring Company finishes a tunnel project with a unique Tesla twist.
The Boring Company is finishing a tunnel construction project designed for Tesla . It includes a tunnel leaving the Giga Texas factory that goes under the highway nearby. The exit resembles a giant Cybertruck , with Tesla cheekily calling it a birthing tunnel. Back in 2020, Elon Musk floated the idea of building a tunnel out of Giga Texas—because when you're Elon, a simple road just won't cut it.
Fast forward to today, and not only is the tunnel nearly finished, but Tesla has added a uniquely Tesla-esque flourish to it. As Cybertrucks and other models roll off the production line, they’ll make their grand exit through what can only be described as the frunk of a giant Cybertruck. The Boring Company (TBC) was working on this throughout 2024. A video from June shows the company’s Prufrock-3 boring machine carving its way under State Highway 130, connecting Tesla's production facility on one side of the highway to its logistics site on the other. By mid-summer, TBC had moved on to the finishing touches, and now, as 2025 begins, we’re finally getting a look at what the public-facing end of this tunnel will look like.

Large, angular metal panels emulate the distinctive shape of a Cybertruck, complete with a sloping hood and even a strip of lighting meant to mimic the vehicle’s daytime running lights. It's unclear exactly how much of the giant Cybertruck-shaped exit is viewable from the highway but it's a fun touch regardless. In fact, Tesla's attitude around the tunnel is fun too. On X, the Cybertruck account calls it the birthing tunnel, and jokes that pre-canal trucks are birthed via CT Sectio
