USPS’ long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut to rave reviews from carriers

“You can tell that (the designers) didn’t have appearance in mind,” postal worker Avis Stonum said.

It's already been proven beyond doubt that EV's are more expensive all the way around than gas or hybrids....and yet, they're buying them!???

More burden on the power grids, more excessive waste in production, more pollution to make up for the excessive needs for power, more pollution for the production of said vehicles, and MORE slave labor in countries that supply the ingredients for making the batteries.......as well as MORE destruction of the earth to dig out the chemicals and metals needed!!!!!

So, not ONLY are they going to use OUR tax dollars to fund this fiasco, they're going to start charging us HIGHER prices for mail and shipping for it!!!

Odd appearance aside, the first handful of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles that rolled onto postal routes in August in Athens are getting rave reviews from letter carriers....................

Ask the man who drives one. ( I forget what commercial this was from)

Why do you think they have increased postage so many times since FJB was installed like a shitter?

The Postal Service has raised mail prices six times since 2020, when its regulator granted new pricing flexibility.

Once or twice a year I get meaningful mail (Tax or Voting or stimulus cards?). All junk the other 250 days. Only in America would they keep dumping $1100s of Billions into such a wasteful useless sinkhole.

As Trump pointed out “deliver Amazon packages at a loss, makes no sense”

Since they started "Ground Advantage" fewer jets are needed.

That said I sort of like Ground Advantage. I could care less if I receive a widget I ordered a day or two later.....Cheaper than PM and the weight limit/package size is about the same.

That's Trump stooge Louis DeJoy. Remember?

 

[leftwinger]

You’ll find these stalled out in snow. They will end up stripped if mail, stolen, retrofitted with a V8 gas motor from a PONTAC, with spinning rims, air shocks, a mural, thumping bass hauling hood rats to the mall.

if you read the story synth you would find that dejoy did not want electric because of the cost....he kind of had no choice...the PMG's dont run the place anyway...

the PO doesnt have their own fleet anymore...

 

[Harpy Eagle]

EVs are prefect for something like mail deliver. No long trips, constant starting and stopping.

Then he's an idiot. EV is perfect for postal vehicles.

One of my best friends is my old Volvo mechanic. The guy is just a whiz with cars, especially Volvos. When the shop he worked at got sold he went to the USPS. He did suburbs, but since he wasn't a full time regular employee he didn't get a vehicle. He had to use one of his Volvos. So he used a 240 wagon, and did all kinds of modifications to get airflow to the engine, because 5 MPH in 96° Florida heat makes engines go boom. But even so, it played hell with his transmission. IC vehicles are not suited to crawling down the street for hours on end, in extreme heat.

Amazon is currently rolling out their fleet, which are EV.

Do MAGA dopes think Amazon doesn't know what they're doing?

I do wonder what will happen to UPS stock. ️

Well, Harry?

And not to mention when the batteries eventually explode, it will release toxic chemicals in the air.

White trash Republican voters in Kentucky and Ohio sniff whip-its every weekend for their cheap high, so this won't affect them at all.

A lot of small businesses rely on the U.S. Postal Service. that being said, most people could live with just getting their mail every other day instead of every day. In any case, despite the sniveling from right wingers labor costs aren't the main expenses in anything these days except for lawn services and they hire illegals, so do warehouses and meat packers, Big Ag, etc.
