Tesla Semi spotted with twin tandem trailers for the first time
The Tesla Semi is not yet being mass produced, but it is evident that the electric vehicle maker is busy pushing the envelope with its Class 8 all-electric truck.
This was highlighted recently when a longtime Tesla Semi advocate spotted a rather interesting configuration of the vehicle being tested in Nevada.
The latest sighting:
- As per a recent video from Tesla Semi advocate @HinrichsZane, the electric vehicle maker is now testing its Class 8 all-electric truck with twin tandem trailers.
- Twin tandem trailers typically involve two containers that are pulled by a single truck. This makes transporting different types of goods more efficient.
- This appears to be the first time that Tesla has been spotted testing twin tandem trailers on the Semi, though the EV watcher noted that even triple trailers are allowed in Nevada.
- With this in mind, it might not be too long before the Tesla Semi is spotted being tested with a triple trailer.

Tesla is now testing tandem trailer configuration. Triples are legal in Nevada. Probably won’t be long until we see them testing them. pic.twitter.com/Nnmh2VaVKQ— Zanegler (@HinrichsZane) January 5, 2025

I was scoping out the place Friday, was hoping I’d run into you. Security folks are really nice, recognized me as a harmless tourist from Vermont and let me gawk. pic.twitter.com/tHUqfOB8NM
