I read "semi electric truck", and wondered what "semi electric" means. Hybrid?

But reading the article, it becomes more clear that it's about the Tesla Semi, which is an electric truck. Confusing headline.

You might not be American. I had the same confusion when I called 911 to report an accident driving across the US and they asked me if the truck was a "semi".

But even if it's a type of truck, calling it a semi electric truck is weird. I would have expected it to be an electric semi truck, or something.

I’ve been trying to work out the relevance of you driving a Porsche and the weird phasing (you called your car?). Ironic confusion given the discussion on regional lanagaue variations.

Maybe it should have been an "electric semi truck"
