Loaded? 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: https://runonless.com/roled-profiles/pepsico/ https://runonless.com/roled-profiles/pepsico/ 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
