> Why would you want that on EV chassis tho?

Because you want to install equipment such as air compressors, pumps, welders, cranes or water tanks, or you want to carry bulky items like ladders, and/or you need accessible and ergonomic lockers, drawers etc to store your tools and equipment without having to dig around the tub.

Same reasons as you’d do this on an ICE truck.

I’ll say it again. The number of people _in the market segment Tesla is aiming the Cybertruck at_ who do that kind of thing is miniscule. Fleet trucks for plumbers or whatever were never a consideration; those users are outside the target audience for the Cybertruck.

The fact that you suggested that number people of people who install custom bodies etc is miniscule indicates that you are not at all familiar with the AU/NZ market.
