Tesla Semi spotted by CHP for inspection on cargo run from Gigafactory

Inspectors at the California Highway Patrol commercial truck inspection station were in for a treat Friday afternoon on August 10 when a spotless Tesla Semi truck pulling a trailer full of cargo made its way through the Donner Pass Inspection Center that’s located off of Interstate 80. Roughly 50 miles south of Tesla’s Gigafactory, where the all-electric big rig was likely coming from, CHP authorities stopped Tesla’s all-electric for an impromptu inspection as part of its authority under the CA vehicle code to stop and inspect trucks where signs are posted.

Images of the Tesla Semi at the Northern California weigh station and inspection center were shared with a relative excitement by CHP – Donner Pass on social media. “The future has arrived…….The new Tesla truck tractor was inspected today at the facility,” noted the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facility on its Facebook page.

Though under California law the CHP had the authority to stop Tesla’s Semi for a routine inspection, one could presume that officials were more keen on getting a better up-close-and-personal view of the rare semi truck than anything. “Very easy to inspect and very clean,” noted the CHP – Donner Pass representative, adding, “We like it. Very clean” when asked by a Facebook user on how they felt about the quad-electric motor long-range hauler.

No violations were found during the inspection and the vehicle was cleared to go.
