what does it mean by 500 meters? i mean it must have enough battery or fuel to move a few kms?

I don't think its a limitation in terms of energy, but the ability to control these assets by the operators at the distance. I assume they're still working to make these things work in autonomous mode as well. Also, you know how these journalists are, maybe they mistranslate those figures, we should wait for further confirmation.

You guys think Iran employs a trucked drone launching system that can launch 10 or more drones from canisters? I guess we just haven't seen it yet.

I know China and America utilize drones launched from canisters on the back of military trucks.
