Similarly I'd have one hybrid that would go into everything with maybe bigger electric motor in heavy platforms. I would not make any e pickups or medium or HD trucks and leave that small segment to others until such time as battery tech made them more viable. I'd have that hybrid as option one for pickups or a single gas option engine trans. HD pickups and medium duty trucks get the second option gas or maybe diesel. For example hybrid, 4.8gas, or diesel in 3/4 ton or medium duty trucks. I think all those choices are working against us. Similar to how that restaurant saver tv show comes in and most of the time he says half their problem is the menu has too many items. Like jack of all trades and master of none.

Most of those restauants have already sh*t the bed, for one reason or another. Restaurant saver tv shows have a terrible success rate. The truck market is massive. The buying public should be angered if market choices shrink instead of grow, and I don't mean to say one company can cover it all.
