The small pickup truck segment is growing and Tesla could compete in it. Some points were brought up in this video along with a rendering that both make a good case. Think of it as a pickup to rival the Toyota Tacoma, Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon and Ford Ranger

If Tesla is serious about conquering the electric pickup market then a smaller Cybertruck is the next logical step. If they don't do it first someone else is going to do it.

Ford and Toyota, the former a segment leader here, are launching next-gen models soon.

I'm 100% sure they either planning to launch hybrid and/or all-electric versions.

Next-Gen Ford Ranger Will Get a High-Performance Plug-In Hybrid Variant: Report

How high-performance? Over 500 pound-feet of torque from an EcoBoost PHEV.

In Ford's case its all but confirmed by Ford Motor Co.

Since that's the case it's all the reason Tesla needs to start looking into a smaller Cybertruck (if they haven't started already).

Musk's vehicle launch plan puts him at launching a Tesla Minivan next. So we might have to wait.

I won't mind a Tacoma-sized version of this Tesla pickup truck someone rendered:

I remember seeing designs like this before the Cybertruck debut. Tesla should really make something like this to better convince traditional truck buyers to switch to electric.

It was what we all wanted but I think Elon Musk made the right choice. The Cybertruck took over the net. A true lesson in marketing that I bet everyone is trying to learn from.
