Tesla is preparing a dedicated Tesla Semi service center in Las Vegas, according to a new building permit filed with Clark County, Nevada.

It’s one of the first concrete signs of the service network Tesla needs to support its electric Class 8 truck, which only entered volume production two weeks ago.

The Clark County record (BD26-39451) describes the project in plain terms: “Tesla Semi Service Center. Tenant Improvement in new shell building.”

The site is 3780 N Las Vegas Blvd, part of the LV Logistics One industrial development on the northeast side of the valley, between I-15 and Nellis Air Force Base. The property owner is listed as L V Logistics One Property Owner LP, a Dallas-based entity, so Tesla is a tenant here and not building from scratch.

The application lists Tesla as the tenant and classifies the use as a “Repair Garage,” with the work type marked as a remodel under the 2024 building code. Its status is “Awaiting Plans,” which means the application is in but Tesla hasn’t submitted its construction drawings yet. So this isn’t opening next month.

The neighboring building in the same development, at 3790 N Las Vegas Blvd, gives a good idea of what Tesla is moving into. It’s a 152,256-square-foot logistics building completed in 2024 with 32-foot clear height, 20 dock-high doors, and a 122-foot truck court, according to its lease listing. That’s the kind of space you need to pull Class 8 tractors in and out all day.

Las Vegas sits on the I-15 corridor, one of the busiest freight routes in the West, linking the Southern California ports and warehouses of the Inland Empire to Las Vegas and on to Salt Lake City.
