Am curious …  
What about Tabs, (and FAQ etc) with regard SEO.

Can Google index all the info on all the tabs - even the closed ones ?

What about load times - if there are many large tabs, then presumably there is a lot of data to load ?

Or am I thinking about this wrong ?

The content inside the Tabs is fully accessible and indexable by search engines.

Yes.

Yes, same as with any other content on the page. If you have a lot of data (images/video/etc) then the page will take longer to load. If it’s just text then it’s not a problem.

Hope that helps 🙂
