Because this is what a real contractor needs to work. You take a chassis and build it to your needs. I wish I had a pic of my trucks, 1,000 ft of 20' sticks of pipe on top, with lumber, extension ladder, conduit, tool boxes almost to up to the rack on both sides, hoses, extension cords hanging all over it, more tools and fittings than you could even begin to put in cyberstupid including filling the back seat to the top. You have to be able to open a box and get what you need without unloading everything. Time is money for contractors, efficiency is key, you have to have everything you need with you, and then some.

How stupid would one have to be, to want employees driving a very heavy, loaded, truck that can do 0 to 60 in less than 3 sec. No fing way.
Now if you can even begin to tell me how you could build cyberstupid out to do all that, I will tell you the other reasons no smart contractor would want it.
Its market isn't contractors, at least none with brains, it's for people who drive it to their office job 5 days a week, and play with it on weekends, with their other toys, minor home owner stuff, and haul a xmas tree home once a year. Providing they can get past the fugly, I can't, and they are already disliked in the neighborhood, should be ok.
Where Tesla missed the boat is in Elon always having to remake the wheel, with the exoskeleton design. With a chassis, they could drop any body on top, van, box truck, more conventional pick up, sell the chassis, so people like contractors could build it out per their own needs. The specs are
