Tesla Cybertruck supposedly this Sept. I'm definitely not in the market for one but glad to see it finally come to fruition (announced Nov 2019). Supposedly starting from $50K (not sure I believe that).
My guess is it'll take a couple iterations before it's accepted by the F-150 crowd.

Couple additional notes on cargo & towing. F-150 towing is 5,000-11,300 and payload < 2,300, so Cybertruck is competitive.

The Dual Motor can pull 10,000 pounds while the Tri Motor can tow a massive 14,000 pounds. Additionally, the Cybertruck offers a payload capacity of 3,500 pounds. It can easily pull different RVs, travel trailers, and lightweight 5th wheels.
