You can't effectively: drive uphill, heat/AC the car, load it up, etc - all that drains the fuck out of your battery. Have fun recharging several times per day.
Tesla will be showing off a electric 10 wheeler sometime this year.


Also there is already this one.. it's electric powered but uses a hydrogen fuel cell to charge the battery. It already has a thousand mile range.

Nikola Motor unveils 1,000 HP hydrogen-electric truck with 1,200 mi. range

Now this company might actually be on the right track, using hydrogen to keep the battery charged.

It will be interesting to see what Musk has coming as well, because he's no dummy.
