Birthing Tunnel (Cybertunnel) at Giga Texas gets steel exoskeleton

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

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 -

Exterior photos are from today's flyby video:

that's a solid Foundation series.

I wonder why the area corresponding to the Cybertruck side windows don't have any studs?

Maybe there will be some tinted glasses, and some lights inside might be turned on at night?

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

 

[CyberTrk]

I noticed the interesting sign for no e-scooters...

I wonder what would be wrong to use the tunnel to allow employees to go back and force between the two factory sites, like using also shuttle bus, beside only using the tunnel for Cybertruck transfer between the end of line and the delivery site?

Would there be a traffic light sign to use the tunnel in both directions?

Truck would squish them. There's no passing space in the tunnel.

The question was whether the tunnel would only be used for the end of the Cybertruck line,
or could it be used in both directions to allow other electrical vehicles to use it for various reasons?

You'd have to stop the firehose of Cybertrucks for someone to pass through the entire tunnel the other way.

They probably should make more tunnels, honestly.

I imagine that the CyberCab will use the tunnel to test it
and validate possible usage of the Cybercab inside the Las Vegas boring tunnel.

Yes, the LED light bar will be illuminated.

Cybertunnel testing has already started.

I was kinda surprised they didn't install a pedestrian tunnel from the parking lot/garage into the factory.

Would make the "right-of-way" problem moot

Tesla has another construction permit pending for another tunnel for Model Y’s.

I suspect its uni-directional because the trucks and cabs will autonomously drive and park themselves. What a nightmare that would be if a vehicle attempted to go the wrong way and met an autonomous vehicle trying to park itself. One of the vehicles would have to "reverse" out of the long tunnel, causing a traffic jam.

So why there is a no-pedestrian and no-scooter sign at the entrance?

There should be a do-not-enter sign then if this was only unidirectional.
But I don't see any traffic light controlling the direction flow?

There is, it looks like it reads;

WRONG WAY
STOP
SEVERE
TIRE DAMAGE

Cyber Tunnel is a real killjoy;

No Pedestrians
No Scooters
No Smoking
No Vaping
No Inflated Tires
