Maybe we should have a thread for talking about EV vans and utility trucks?

"Only thing Amazon has every done that actually benefits the driver. Only thing I'll drive now. More room than the van, more maneuverable than the CDV/step van. AC/heated seat is amazing, and the best part for me is being able to see your whole entire route on the screen at all times. Eliminates half the problems of the shitty phones they give us to use. Be the first person to sign up for training when you get the chance. I was as skeptical as anyone, but this thing is the GOAT delivery vehicle"

Hah! It's fun to read the user reactions to the Rivian van. In general it sounds like they really enjoy driving these things.

I wonder if more delivery companies will start buying them now that they aren't exclusive to Amazon anymore.
