So a model S has 7000 baby batteries to move its 5k lb body. At 80k pounds, an 18 wheeler would need around 110k of these batteries!
The advancements in electric technology have been just as much in weight savings as they are in batteries. All of that is thrown out the window when you are actually trying to move weight.

Now imagine the power an electric truck would need to pull even it's own weight (not to mention an actual load) up some of the inclines out west.
