Project Background and Development
Tesla is nearing completion of a specialized Cyber-tunnel connecting its Giga Texas production facility to its logistics site, a concept that started in 2020.
Construction Progress and Technical Details
The Boring Company (TBC) executed the construction throughout 2024, utilizing their Prufrock-3 boring machine to create a passage beneath State Highway 130.
By mid-2024, the primary excavation was complete, and the company transitioned to finalizing the interior components.
The tunnel features a streamlined design with white panel lining and is configured for single-vehicle transit in one direction.

Distinctive Architectural Design of Cyber Tunnel
As 2025 commences, the tunnel’s most notable feature has been revealed: its exit portal designed to resemble an enlarged Cybertruck.

The architectural elements include:
- Angular metallic panels replicating the Cybertruck’s characteristic profile
- A sloping hood structure integrated into the design
- Illuminated strips that mirror the vehicle’s daytime running lights
Operational Purpose of Cyber Tunnel
The tunnel serves a specific logistical function in Tesla’s manufacturing process.
Once production is complete, vehicles will use the tunnel for initial post-production testing before shipping and delivery.

This streamlined approach efficiently connects the manufacturing facility with the logistics center.
Tesla has approached the project’s public relations with characteristic humor.
On X, Tesla’s Cybertruck account has dubbed the structure the “birthing tunnel,” making a playful reference to vehicles being delivered via “CT Section.”
The tunnel entrance’s visibility from Highway 130 is uncertain, but its design makes a distinctive architectural statement aligned with Tesla’s brand identity.
While The Boring Company’s current scope may differ from Elon Musk’s initial vision, it successfully combines functional necessity with Tesla’s distinctive aesthetic and brand personality.
