Lordstown wants to build large trucks. The last vehicle made in the Lordstown assembly plant was the Chevy Cruze, which means the plant is set up for compact car production. Retooling a line for a different size vehicle costs a lot of money, but it's doable.

What costs a *ton* of money is the paint shop. A truck body and carrier won't physically fit into a paint shop built for a compact car. It's not a matter of retooling, you have to tear the paint shop down and build a new one. This is a *significant* expense, to the point it might be more cost effective to just build a new building.
