Yeah, because that's what all the F150 buyers of the world really wanted, an angular flat-paneled ridiculous movie prop.
This thing alienates far more than it attracts in the pickup truck market.

Flat panel is what trucks have needed to go back to. Get a bad dent or the garbage is rusting out? Cut it out and weld some sheet on top. No need buy an entire door or go to a body shop.
Are you being serious? This is a Tesla. You think people are going to repair them by welding steel sheet on top?
Not immediately but if this thing is as indestructible as it looks, after 10 years of hard use, new battery pack, it's not hard to imagine that it'll be fixed by welding steel panels on it.
The DeLorean isn't exactly famed for body repairability and this is just that, a DeLorean grotesquely inflated to light tank scale.
Flat panels are less secure, because flat surfaces are less stiff than curved or creased surfaces (theory you can easily test with a piece of paper).
Did you watch the video? They "tested" it with a sledgehammer.

ok sure, but what if they paint it red?
What if they anodized it red?
you don't anodize steel.

F150s have been getting more and more like this, this is exactly what they want.
F150s still have curved sections... this is more like the F-117.
Did you see the photo of the F-117 when they were showing inspirations for it?
