GVWR includes passengers and cargo when fully loaded.

8000 lbs is not totally crazy for a delivery vehicle. It probably weighs at least 2000-3000 lbs empty (with batteries).

Imagine a small business that tries to mail ten pound boxes. If they can fit ten by ten per layer in the van, once the pile of boxes is five layers tall, you’re basically at the van’s specs.

A 10 year old Ford Focus weighs 2900lb empty. I'd be impressed if this truck weighs less than 5k empty.
