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
> 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.
I'd suspect that the load is "low" but probably not unloaded.
eyeballing it from the graph:
1st charge: 35% ~1hr
2nd charge: 90% ~1.5hr
3rd charge: 30% ~30 min
I don't know the battery capacity, but if that was known, you could probably figure out the charging rate.
The first charge looked slower from the slope of the line, the second it charged faster but tapered, and the third time fast too.
