This seems to be a trend with the latest Telsa future products. They don't seem to be engineered for the actual user, but engineered for marketing to people that wont use them.

The original genius of Tesla's approach is exactly that: maximizing form over function to drive the adoption of electric cars. Maximizing desirability, not utility, has been central. In this way, they are really not so different from other luxury carmakers, who also sacrifice daily utility for form in their cars.
As much as the world needs an electric Ford Taurus or Honda Accord, as Nissan discovered with the Leaf, that approach didn't move people to open their wallets to the same degree.

The Cybertruck is an example of applying the above approach to create a caricature of pickup-truck utility that markets well to the Cybertruck's target demographic: faux-survivalist men with lots of disposable income.
An actual utilitarian EV pickup truck would be something smaller like a Ford Maverick or a Toyota Tacoma with a simpler body that works with lots of standard aftermarket parts. I really hope Ford follows the gargantuan expensive F150 Lighting with something smaller and more sensible.
The Cybertruck is another example of this.
