I agree with you, but let's explore some possible reasons for this situation.
Assume this is the Model 2, but a fully automated version.
Assume a taxi as a revenue maker can fetch a higher sale price.
Assume a Model 2's demand could not be met for a while, this buys time.

If one or more assumptions are correct, what we see makes complete sense.
Otherwise a shape similar to one of
Canoo's projects would make more sense.
EDIT: Aren't taxi's expected to
carry luggage?
