Like you see in inspector, you defined only border color but not border width. Because it is 0px, it is invisible ;)
You need to change it to
class="border border-gray-800"
"border" will by default mean border-width: 1px so if you need thicker use for example
class="border-2 border-gray-800"
or if you wanna it only on one side
class="border-right border-gray-800"
More in documentation.

Nothing was working for me until I added the border-style: solid using border-solid. I had to explicitly set border-0 though, else it will be applied to all directions.
<div className="border-0 border-b-2 border-solid border-b-red-600">Bottom border</div>
I am using "tailwindcss": "^3.3.3"

Border is overriding border-2 and solid is default, it’s used for breakpoint changes. All you need is border-2 and border-indigo-600 Don’t sweat the style sheet, it’s generated by your classes. More on reddit.com

Issue with border color not overriding · Issue #10552 · tailwindlabs/tailwindcss
February 10, 2023 - https://github.com/jiblett1000/tailwind-classes · Describe your issue · Hello, Something in either 3.2.5 or 3.2.6 has messed up class cascading for border colors. The other border classes seem to be ok, but there could be other classes affected as well, idk. When using something such as someVar && "overrideClass", it will not override any previous border color on that tag, component, etc.

r/tailwindcss on Reddit: Border won't show up
August 22, 2023 -
I'm a beginner to Tailwind, so it's likely something simple. I can see an <input type="text" class="border border-solid border-2 border-indigo-600">, but only a faint 1px border of #e5e7eb shows up. I can see that this is under the *, ::before, ::after rule at the top of the stylesheet. My config file is customized only for the content paths, and theme and extend are empty. I read quite a bit of the Tailwind documentation, but I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around how basics like color intersect with border, background, and text seeing as the latter three all incorporate color.

Tailwind CSS Box Sizing
By default, elements use content-box, which only includes the content's dimensions. Switching to border-box means padding and border are included in the total size. In Tailwind CSS, box-sizing utilities allow developers to control how box dimensions are derived with minimal effort.

If you're using Tailwind with these tools, we recommend avoiding <style> blocks in your components and just styling things with utility classes directly in your markup, the way Tailwind is meant to be used. If you do use <style> blocks, make sure to import your global styles as reference if you want features like @apply to work as expected:
