You're absolutely right. it was possible decades ago. And then safety and emmission regulations made these silhouettes almost impossible to design and legally sell to consumers. This truck could not exist ten years ago as an ICE or before advances in EV tech made it possible for this design to make it to production while still meeting regulation.

they made this car for one reason: marketing

The same thing can be said about pretty much any automakers flagship models, which are usually sold for barely above cost or even at a loss. They're just a way to get consumers in the door to buy the more profitable models.
