Having the triangular piece does, IMO, make it a little easier on the eye but that's in the rendering where this panel has the same color, reflectivity and texture as the other two polygons. In real vehicle that panel would not be a window and the mismatch might be as bad as the mismatch of stainless/window as it is today. In any case this "improvement" could easily be offered as a sticker to be applied over the existing panel. This would not require any modification to the truck itself. I don't think the pseudo C pillar contributes much. Caveat: I'm no artist.

With a 200 kWh+ battery and the new downgraded HPWCs the second charging port is going to be so necessary that I have to think that it will be offered, at least as an option for the TriMotor version. Where I don't know.
