From what I gather the YouTube compressed video test shows a 500 mile trip with 82000 pound tare using 94 percent of the battery. San Diego Fremont.

Most likely just a slip, but a normal 5 axle tractor-semi trailer combination with a tare weight of 82,000 would be totally useless.

I would like to know what real tare is.

I'm wondering if the use of tare in this case, is actual gvw.

I would agree, if that 82k is actual empty tare wieght, it has very little actual payload. My 1509 might have more payload.

I am almost sure the WEIGHT OF 82,000 is the ACTUAL, loaded weight.. There IS NO WAY the empty combo would weight in that heavy.

my freightliner M2's with 48' Conestoga trailers weight in roughly at 30,000 empty with a payload of 50k.... my old Mack R1 and 45' steel trailer was 27,000 empty. unless YOU NEED a 50,000 battery to go 500 miles ?????:h
