…………………. As it is said that " a camel is a horse put together by committee" the USPS van looks to be the result of a committee.

De gustibus non est disputandum, I am certain you will find someone in the world sharing your view.
It is going to take some time to get used to this vehicle. Imagine RV conversion. Cleaning the windshield would be a task. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictu...se-reveal-next-generation-delivery-vehicle/2/
Electric can not climb uphill like a diesel
I can be towing a small airstream (11K total) with my Tesla and go faster than my 9000lbs dually Mercedes diesel. It's not even close either.
Yes. There is a reason why diesel locomotives convert their power to electricity on the way to the wheels. Electric vehicles have their problems, but torque isn't one of them.
I finally met the carrier in my new neighborhood. We were talking vans since he mentioned he liked my RT. So I asked him about the new USPS van. His comment is that he loves the old ones... dependable little work horses that they have been. But then I said... won't it be nice to be able to stand in the rear. He agreed that it will be a huge benefit... and also with the added space for packages.I think this truck is cute as a bug and my carrier would love to have one.
In Arizona, the majority of the Prime vans are Sprinters with the rest split between Transits and Promasters. At first in my area of MN, the majority were Promasters, but no longer. It's a pretty even split between the three of them.Most all the Amazon vans have been Promasters. I don’t think I’ve seen any of those 20,000 Sprinters that delayed my Class B.
