We know about the Cybertruck. Is there also a Tesla pickup which is more conventional pickup truck looking?

Searches seem to turn up 2 different things (plus many, many concepts)

My understanding is that no, the only "official" Tesla truck so far is the Cybertruck in all its flat-ness.

There is a lot of conjecture about what the Cybertruck might look like after rework for mass production/to meet US regs though, and also plenty of the typical internet clickbait crap where someone finds a Photoshop creation and runs it as Tesla truck "news".

Personally I like the Rivian truck a lot more than the Cybertruck.

I've never driven either one, but based on appearances only, I agree. I like the Rivian much better. 
 

However, if Tesla released a slightly more "normal looking" truck, I'd definitely lean toward Tesla. I think they are much more likely to provide the infrastructure and support over time than Rivian. 
 

Plus, there's a really big price difference.

I think that turned out to be just a couple of people and some drawings looking for investors with no real plan of what to do next.
