It doesn't have a cargo capacity to hold very much.  Nobody will buy a truck with a super small cargo bed unless they just want to look cool and hip, regardless of fuel efficiency.
Doing some googling:

The length of the cargo bed in the Tesla is around 6.5 feet. Depending on the model, the length of the pickup bed on the F150 is between 5.5 feet and 8 feet. The cargo bed on the Dodge Ram is between 5.5 and 6.5 feet. So, the Tesla seems like the Tesla matches pretty well with other pickup trucks. (And the weight it can carry is pretty comparable too.)

I thought the Tesla had a small bed too, but I think its just the way the cab sort of blends into the back of the truck that makes it look like it has a lower capacity than it actually does.
