I suspect that the typical truck buyer probably WILL want something that looks more like the traditional pickup, which as you say, hasn't really changed much in 70+ years.
That's my guess as well. It looks more like a sports car styled to look like a pickup, rather than a real truck. It reminds me of the old Chevy El Camino or Ford El Ranchero (cars with a small pickup bed in the back).
Tesla may find a market for it; but it probably won't be the sort of people that buy normal pickup trucks.
In a way, it might be a missed opportunity. The automaker pickups have also strayed away from the traditional "work truck" pickup, in favor of luxury 4-passenger car-like vehicles that happen to have a small bed in back. Most of them can't carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood, either.
