Was this independently checked by a 3rd party? How big was the battery? Was the battery size independently checked by a 3rd party?
Were any of the weights independently checked by a 3rd party? There are several commercial truck scales that are mandatory to go over on this route. Do you know if they showed the actual weight ticket with the time and date printed on the ticket? If not, why not?
Was ANYTHING checked by a 3rd independent party? If not, non of this means anything.
I agree that I would like to see an independent assessment. Let's give one to TFL.
I would like to see this trip in reverse. Let's make sure it can go 500 miles in two directions.
Let's see this vehicle in operation in Ohio, Indiana, or anyplace that is currently near freezing.
And I hope the taxpayers appreciate this. I read that they are paying $15.4 Million for Pepsi to have this.
And I hope you approve of the $40,000 per every semi coming from the Federal Government. That would be like giving 4 people $10k towards their student loans.

While I agree w you wholeheartedly, at least it’s not the worst or most wasteful thing our govt subsidizes! Doesn’t even make the top 10.

Really good question. Here is one answer to your question and it's not good. And this is in what I call moderate cold. 30 degrees F is not really cold even in Kalifornia. Many parts of the US get into negative numbers. Now that's cold!

SO they left an elevation of 5,000 feet and drove basically downhill for 500 miles to an elevation of 5oo feet in a truck that regenerates it's batteries when going downhill.
Can it make the same loaded run in the other direction?

Hmmm. You may be interpreting that graph wrong. They went from Fremont to San Diego via the grape vine. So start at roughly sea level, over the grape vine and back to roughly sea level. Start in the bottom left hand corner to see the altitude and follow the changes. The grape vine is pretty obvious but there are some other grades as well.
This kind of graph presentation is common to all Tesla software displays.

You are correct. I was reading the graph incorrectly. Ignore my last.
