I always thought that it was the power of the motor at a given RPM that determined the gearing. More power, higher gearing becomes possible (limited by the strength of the rest of the drivetrain). Of course it can be tweaked a bit, but not all that much.You have not convinced me... the gear ratio can be configured for either high speed or torque,I think (I ain't a mechanical guy by nature, but the magic occurring in the "tranny box" is Elon Magic when considering these motors and vehicles. I am under the impression that the Semi will have the carbon fiber wrapped motors which would support the belief that such motors convert electricity to power/work. How it is linked to the wheels determines speed or torque.)
Maybe I am wrong.
EDIT: I should have said it also depends on the situation. Because I no longer have a commute, the 32,500 miles on the 2020 X are around 30,500 road trip miles.
