Tesla Semi performance data suggests the hype is real

How is the hype real when real world performance is under 80% of max performance?

Tesla Semi with a theoretical max of 500miles wasnt even able to get to 400miles when you factor in the % battery remaining.

Tesla Semi 1 had 17% left which means it had a theoretical max of 394 miles.

Tesla Semi 2 managed 227miles before getting down to 25% capacity. Meaning the battery had a theoretical max mileage of 288 miles.

Tesla Semi 3 managed 377 miles with only 1.6% battery left.

Teslarati says Semi 2 must have been weighed down more, or maybe more mountain travel?
Does this mean that 300mile semi will have to charge every 200miles or so?

I think the shipping industry would be better off waiting for the device that will show significant improvement in mpg using plasma based spark plugs. Plus it'll signficantly reduce emissions which will do more to help the enviornment now than switching to EVs that release more pollution now and destroy the earth to mine it.
