As a retired USPS employee there were offers to build a vehicle after a survey was sent around asking carriers what they wanted in a vehicle. Yeah they are ugly but there are 360 degree cameras, all have A/C, charging ports for their scanner and they can stand up in the back to sort their packages more efficient. Not pretty to look at but the square aluminum box that they currently have are unsafe and were supposed to last for only 20 years.
Designed entirely for function and what the post workers need
Designed for work not for looks.
I kind of love it
This thing is straight out of a 90s cartoon
Functional AF. Hell yeah.
still more attractive than a cybertruck
Look do I think it is hideous? Yeah. Of course. But it has ac right? and they can stand in the back of it? great. I love it.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs lookin truck
I would think a Wisconsin company would build a vehicle with more clearance for snowy conditions.
Where I’m from, the delivery vehicles need to run right up on the snow plow berms to get to the mailboxes.
USPS worker here. It’s ugly but it’s useful af for us. Please don’t make decision for us. This is what we needed
At least it’s got great visibility, because it doesn’t look great visually.
It looks like the *Hot Wheels Tooned* version of itself…
These look so goofy
Are they auctioning the old fleet off? Ive always wanted one
I’m old enough to remember the old mail jeeps. Those will always have a special place in my heart.
These are electric right? I’m surprised they left such a long hood instead of more of a cab over or bus type front end just to keep the wheelbase and length as compact as possible. Other than that they seem to have prioritized driver needs and ergonomics pretty well!
This looked liked it drove out of a cartoon
Looks straight outta Darkwing Duck and I’m here for it.
The USPS has long been a target of the Gopper rightwingers (as is every successful government program) and will soon be on the chopping block.
PBS, too.
All of it will be mangled by Musk and his band of incels.
Old news like years old
These were unveiled like 5 years ago
AC? Drivers can stand up while working? 360 degree cameras for full visibility? Absolutely perfect. I love it. Also, it’s adorable. It’s a keeper.
Looks like a diabetic persons foot after a 8 hr flight.
When it comes to utility items build for what you need, not for what you see. This is the embodiment of that principle.
To be fairrrr, the current one is damn ugly too, but we got used to it.
Straight out of the Incredibles universe.
Looks like the robot driven taxis from Total Recall
I’d really like to have one of the retired models just to play with. I hope they auction some.
If these win the bid, buy stock in their windshield suppliers company immediately.
