#2Loaded? They neglect to say. Unloaded this isn't too surprising, but loaded is where the money is, and where the important specs are.

> While NACFE didn’t specify the payload for this particular day, it did say that those trucks averaged over 70,000 lbs of loads
I'd suspect that the load is "low" but probably not unloaded.

I wouldn't suspect that if they didn't say that. The average has no bearing on this specific one that could very well have been empty.

It’s a real time measure of real world performance of EV trucks over a 18 day period. There are several teams, Tesla Semis are used by Pepsi Co. The specific of them:

Pepsi is deploying Tesla Semis at its Sacramento, CA location in long-haul applications with heavy loads. Trip distances are up to 450 miles on a single charge
So yes, loaded, beverages, up to 82,000 lbs

After reading the article... It had lots of charging... wonder how dangerous it is to charge a battery that size and how well the battery holds up over time.

> Now for the most crucial, previously hidden detail: "Approximately 65% of miles driven during the first two weeks of Run on Less were loaded to a gross vehicle weight plus load of over 70,000 pounds," PepsiCo wrote.
> The actual payload figures, how much the truck is hauling, remain a mystery, as does the Semi's tare weight.
> Previously, Mike Roeth of NACFE had hinted that the Semi's loads may be slightly diminished due to the EV's increased weight, but that PepsiCo wasn't "gaming" Run On Less with empty trailers. In a press conference, Roeth said it was "hugely disappointing that we're not able to track payload," but that ultimately, even without granular data on how much the Semis hauled, it shed needed light on fleet electrificaiton.

apparently it is closer to 70,000 lbs load
