The route was between Freemont and San Diego via the grapevine as per the published data. It used 94 percent of the battery to go 500 miles.

Truck was loaded to just under 82000 pounds as per presentation.

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.

****, you really think the data is fake... You can google it yourself and see if you can catch them in a lie. Chances are there has been more than 1 3rd party verification, like the companies that are buying these trucks from Tesla. I myself did not go look to see if the data is real, but obviously Reisender researched this before he posted it, so seems legit to me. No reason to question the validity.

I didn’t really verify anything. It’s just a screen shot from the engineers presentation. The numbers are all from the engineers presentation as well. I have no reason to believe they would falsify them. This data screen is pretty much what is in every Tesla. We have the same display in our car.

I am not an expert. But I have pulled a trailer a lot of miles with an EV. Looks legit to me.

JMHO though.
