Tesla paid for Elon Musk’s Boring Company to dig a tunnel under Giga Texas, but why?

Tesla Pays for Boring Company Tunnel Under Giga Texas

Tesla paid for a multi-million-dollar tunnel under Giga Texas,

connecting the Cybertruck end-of-the-line to the other side of the 130 toll road.

The tunnel is purely to funnel Cybertrucks out of the end-of-line to the other side of the road.

Under commercial agreements, Tesla incurred expenses of approximately $0.2 million in 2023

and approximately $1 million through February 2024.

The tunnel, initially planned before the final Cybertruck end-of-line plans,

has become less useful due to the presence of two underpasses connecting Gigafactory Texas to the other side of the highway.

A top comment on Electrek suggests that the tunnel may be a way for Tesla to benefit The Boring Company,

which is exclusively using Tesla to supply vehicles.

The comment also questions the necessity of the tunnel and its timing,

implying that it may be a way for Elon Musk to channel money from Tesla to his privately owned venture, The Boring Company.
