Tesla has secured an order of 20 Semi trucks from a California-based logistics company. The electric trucks will enter operation in 2027.
QX Logistix will start running 20 Tesla Semis from next year. The trucking company is in contract with Forum Mobility for infrastructural support.
The electric trucks will operate within a designated corridor, moving containers between the Ports of Los Angeles and QX’s facilities in Long Beach. The short and predictable distance, according to Forum Mobility, makes the route a good candidate for electrification.
For context, the long-range Tesla Semi offers a driving range of 500 miles. This translates to an energy consumption of 1.7 kWh/mile, while hauling up to 45,000 lbs of payload.
The deployment timeframe stated by Forum Mobility matches Tesla’s own Semi development timeline. The EV maker began manufacturing at the Nevada Gigafactory in April 2026, giving Tesla time to ramp up production to meet fleet orders.
Forum Mobility will handle charging. The company will build and maintain a charging hub in Rancho Dominguez, specifically for the Tesla Semis.
Meanwhile, Forum Mobility services other companies using Semis. Big F Transport has placed an order for 40 Tesla Semis after a successful demo. The company already charges nine Daimler eCascadia trucks at Forum Mobility’s center in the Port of Long Beach. Similarly, NICA Container Freight Line is buying 20 Semis. Both clients will share the Rancho Dominguez depot with QX.
We reported earlier that ArcBest and King Fio purchased two and 20 Semis, respectively, after successfully testing the truck. WattEV also put in one of the largest orders for 370 units.
