"Bloated/pricy"? I agree that seems to describe the Rivian, but the Cybertruck seems pretty cheap for what you get. The cheap version is only a couple thousand more than a base model F-250 and the mid priced cyber truck is similar in price to an F-250 with similar features (all wheel drive, towing and cargo capacity)
Except for NEVs and Chinese vaporware, I haven't seen anyone announce an EV pickup with a lower price than the Cybertruck, although several of them are projected to cost 2-3x as much. You'll probably have to DIY to get something cheaper. Perhaps pickup a wrecked Chevy Bolt for parts and transplant them onto a 1980's Toyota pickup, etc. I've been thinking of doing something like that with an old 4runner I have.
