It's been less than 24 hours since Elon Musk unveiled Tesla's first electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, and Twitter is already roasting it.

Yes, it boasts 250 miles of range (which can be upgraded to 500), can tow 7,500 pounds, and can go from 0 to 60 mph in under 6.5 seconds. But it's so pointy. Blade Runner is great, but not everybody wants to drive a truck from an '80s sci-fi film.

If you want to go electric, but want something a little less futuristic, there are some great options scheduled to come out over the next few years.

1. Bollinger B2

Michigan startup Bollinger Motor debuted this rugged pick-up truck back in September. It has the same towing capacity as the Cybertruck, but can carry more in its truck bed — 7,500 pounds versus 5,000 pounds. It has 200 miles of range, 50 less than its Tesla counterpart. Still, Bollinger Motor says it can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, which is comparable to the Cybertruck.

The real downside? It costs $125,000. Good luck with that!

2. 2021 Rivian RT1

The Amazon-backed EV maker Rivian's RT1 comes in three available ranges: 230, 300, and 400 miles. Rivian says the quickest of the three models will go from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds. All of them boast a quad-motor system that can tow 11,000 pounds.

The Rivian RT1 is slated to hit the market in late 2020 at an estimated starting price of $69,000.

3. Ford's all-electric F-150

The F-150 is by far America's best-selling pickup truck, and Ford has confirmed this year that it will be launching a battery-electric version after it debuts its hybrid version in 2020. Ford has not yet announced specific timing for the electric truck's launch, but some expect it to be as early as 2021. Details about its capabilities have not yet been revealed, but a video of its prototype shows it pulling train cars that combined weigh more than 1 million pounds.

4. GM's electric truck

The rumors are true. On the same day Tesla debuted the Cybertruck, GM CEO Mary Barra announced that the automaker will launch its first electric truck in fall 2021. But GM hasn't shared any other details yet.
