For what is largely a testbed of new technology (DBW steering and 48v electrical arch) it seems like a huge waste of money to do it this way - just build a new Model S instead. And neither DBW steering and 48v arch are THAT hard to do - it's about commitment and resources.
The truck itself seems pretty useless as a truck - a Rivian is far more practical for the outdoorsy folks, a TRX/Raptor is far more capable as an off roader, a F150/RAM EV is far better for work purposes. This is just a wank job like the Hummer - it serves no purpose for what it is.
Oh and it's the ugliest thing on the road now. It's like what would happen if a M2 were a truck but worse.
