Well I don't know, but maybe they made them extra heavy and sectioned for crash safety reasons.
Legacy cars have a lump of steel between the wheels, Teslas a crumple zone.
I bet guarding mud is not their only function.

1. This is the rear wheel well.
2. Musk said he fired the engineer responsible for designing that wheel well.
So no, I don't think there is a hidden benefit to the poor design.
