Because Musk wanted to make a vehicle out of stainless steel and straight panels are the easiest/cheapest to form.

Straight panels are much harder to make as every bend and minor imperfection show up. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/13/why-the-cybertruck-is-so-hard-to-manufacture.html

Why do you think cars are never made with straight panels?

Straight stainless is easier.
