Does the new tabs container load all tabs once the screen containing them is open?

I have 5 tabs: Vehicles, Drivers, Transactions, and then 2 that are in the tab but not visible to others, only to my row id and are for future use.

Does it still load all 5 as soon as the screen is opened, and if so whats the best practice for multiple data grids to make it as fast as possible?

We love using them because the customer can just copy out into excel, however some of them are reporting it is extremely slow (which makes sense, some have over 1000 vehicles, transactions, etc).

So what would be the most efficient way to go about this if the tabs container does indeed load them all? If it does not, it could be their wifi we are aware of that.

Yes, unfortunately, all that data shown in tab container will be loaded even if you didn’t select the other tabs.

Yes, it does. You can use a button to navigate to a new screen instead of relying on tabs, or opt for separate screens if that better suits your needs.  
What kind of data are you displaying in these tables?  
Glide is a powerful platform and can handle large volumes of data without issues. However, performance can be affected by how the data is rendered in the DOM. For instance, displaying 100,000 rows at once may slow down the user experience. Especially if the scrollbar becomes almost invisible due to the sheer amount of content, at that point, you may have some issues.

I would use the Performance Mode to see what columns are taking the most time to calculate and find a way to rework them.
