Update 12/31/24:

Lightbar is taking shape... will it be lit?!

The Birthing Tunnel AKA Cybertunnel is a tunnel drilled by Boring Co. machines and it'll be used to transport completed Cybertrucks from the assembly line to the outbound storage lot.

Here's a look inside the tunnel -

That’s one way to promote The Boring Co.

I can't wait to see the finished product.

I assume the metal structure was skinned with stainless steel sheets.

 

[CyberGus]

That's gonna need one hell of a wiper

 

[DerekCyber80s]

It’s gonna rust

 

[NotMyTruck]

That’s Boring AF.

I wonder what happens when there is heavy rain.

They mark it a “Space X”

So for trucks that didn’t go through the ‘birthing tunnel,’ what is the C-section equivalent?

Since the trucks come out of the front, it’s more of a “vomit tunnel”

The water breaks in the birthing tunnel.

They are going to need to “Color PPF”wrap it…no vinyl! Don’t be cheap Elon!

What do you mean, you aren't excited for this?

Haha, yeah man, so excited that Elon can showcase a good use case for the tunnels. Now everyone’s gonna have one. Texas heat and New England blizzards are great reasons for factories to have tunnels.

Is the construction crew that built this available? I need a new garage for my Cybertruck and this gives me some ideas....
