I finished the design and fabrication for my R1T "Tunnel Shuttle " !!.
The gear tunnel concept is great, and now the access to all that volume is seamless.


Single action release built into handle

Pass through design for access from both tunnel doors

Tray formed from a sheet of heavy gauge aluminum and powder coated

Integrated 115VAC and USB Charger ports

140lb weight capacity (evenly distributed)

Large diameter permanently lubricated rollers
63 lbs. complete

That is an awesome design. You need to sell those. Great job!

Looks great! Are you going to sell it, or make plans available for DIY? This honestly looks like one of the best mods out there for the gear tunnel.

That looks great. You would have some takers if you could produce decent quantities at a reasonable price. did you make yours just for personal use, or is it a prototype for production?

Great work on this Tunnel Shuttle! Like everybody else I’m interested to know if you’re selling. If you are, please add me on the list.

After seeing Teslas shuttle passengers through Boring Company tunnels in Las Vegas, I expected something different after seeing the title of this post.

Thanks all.
I'm working on the details now to see how far I can get the cost down. I design industrial grade systems (robotic work cells etc), so all the materials are on the high end. I do all the machining, but sheet metal and powder coating I would have to do in some reasonable quantity to get.the cost down. "One offs" are expensive.

will update in the next week or so.
