Hot take: It’s no stupider than any other pickup truck, and at least it stands out. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fugly as hell, but that’s still better than being indistinguishable from every other vehicle in its class.
Social status. The main reason for wanting to stand out (other than your own ego) is because having a higher social status will offer the individual more opportunities in these social games we play.

Plus at least it’s not spewing exhaust everywhere.
Why would you want your car to stand out?
Because that’s the purpose of a posermobile, which the vast majority of pickup trucks are.

To find it faster in a parking lot?
Isn’t that the main feature of remote car keys, to make the car blink?
It’s a Tesla, you can ask it to come to you (it might even succeed without unduly blocking traffic)
Mainly because it’s shaped like a snow plow and won’t care if anything soft is in its way.

Perception matters more than the truth for most
As a pick-up it however absolutely fails compared to everything else in its class.
Why does it fail any more than all the other dumb American pickup trucks that also fail at being pickup trucks?
Can’t carry a load as well.
I agree, won’t stop me from making fun of it though!
I would have to disagree. A new Tacoma is about $60,000 less stupid than this.
