For the same reason the De Havilland Comets crashed: sharp edge bad for holding pressure

I agree with all of that except the part about using the cybertruck frame. Just make a new frame that can actually withstand the pressure, and slap on the batteries, motors, suspension, and what not. This is even easier for tesla's cars that have a skateboard construction. Although this >>11780221 illustrates a pretty important design consideration for Mars rovers, being able to dock with airlocks. This is very difficult to do with a regular car and is a good reason to make something like JSC's SEV which has all wheel steering. It would not be difficult for tesla to whip up their own version of the SEV.
