Tesla's Secret Weapon: The Cybertunnel Unveiled at Giga Texas - See It In Action
In a groundbreaking development, The Boring Company has announced the completion of its latest tunnel boring machine, Prufrock-3, at Tesla's Gigafactory Texas. Dubbed the 'Cybertunnel,' this innovative underground passage is poised to revolutionize logistics at the factory by July. The tunnel's emergence was celebrated in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, where the company declared, “Prufrock-3 has emerged in the @Tesla Giga Texas expansion! Cybertunnel will be online in July.”
Wes Morrell, the Cybertruck Lead Engineer and Director of Engineering – Reliability, Test, and Analysis at Tesla, took to X to highlight the manifold benefits of the new tunnel. He noted, “Directly connecting from the end of Cybertruck manufacturing line to the logistics lot will help reduce traffic on site and improve quality. Since it’s effectively a giant pipe, maybe we should switch from measuring UPH (units per hour) to mass flow rate…”
The innovative Cybertunnel is more than just a convenience; it's a strategic move aimed at enhancing production quality and operational efficiency. It promises to significantly reduce site traffic, thereby streamlining the entire logistics process at Gigafactory Texas.
