It should also be noted that companies with large fleets may well station their initial Tesla Semis in locations with lower electric rates - for example, Oregon and Washington have quite cheap power due to a large amount of hydro ($.0685/kWh up to 1mW for residential in Portland, e.g. [1]).
With only 15 orders to add to Walmart's 6,000 trucks, it will be quite a while before they need to send any to the more expensive locales.
