As a pickup owner myself, it's the little details that make the difference between a great work truck and...a Ford Ranger (never again...)
It looks like it's ribbed for umm... convenience. Assuming a fan base similar to other Tesla models, there will be aftermarket options to fix design flaws. Someone is working on thicker aftermarket bed strips that let you get your fingers underneath a sheet of plywood. Perhaps the strips in the photo will operate like the flush mount door handles on Model S, and you move them to the raised position if you need finger space under the load. Or you throw a couple 1x2s in the bed if you are heading to the orange store for plywood and drywall. Either way make sure you tie down your load. The torque will leave your plywood at the stoplight if you don't.
One of the first things you do with a new Tesla is get it wrapped or ceramic coated because the paint is so bad. At least you don't have to worry about paint quality on the Cybertruck.
