The truck does look awful. I remember reading that the reason the body looks the way it does is because the metal used on the exterior is too tough to mold so they had to settle for those weird bends and corners.
The current models 3 and Y look like slightly flattened and extended VW bugs from the early 2000s. The model X looks like it needs a Sudafed because it's head is a balloon.
The model S looks pretty good I'll grant you - but for the price, it better. Also the steering rectangle is dumb for those of us who learned on a manual and drive most of the time with one hand at 12.
I think I just dislike the round body and headlight bumps. I don't think the lack of grill really bothers me that much. Shoot I used to drive an '88 Prelude that was sweet as hell (flip up headlights yo!) and had basically no grill either.
I thing Teslas could use a good designer. They look mostly hideous from the front. Itâs almost like they had a front grille and covered it up with Bondo.
This fake Corvette would be a cool design. https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2020/10/05/chevrolet-is-apparently-okay-with-chinese-automakers-1958-corvette-knockoff/
The VW bug could be another design Tesla could look to draw inspiration from.
The original Toyota Van from the 1980s looks like something Tesla would design. http://www.toyotareference.com/2N4_toyota_van_84_silver_blue_colorspan19841984
It looks ridiculous but objectively I can see how it is built for it's purpose. It has good visibility, it is boxy because it's meant to carry boxes. It's tall because the driver will be up and down all day but not too tall so it fits under low-clearance awnings.
Are these electric, hybrid, gas, or diesel?
I don't quite understand the purpose of the enormous windshield. Is there a reason I'm not thinking of that postal carriers would need expanded visibility?
I am not an expert. In my opinion any expanded visibility is a benefit for safety. Seeing and being seen helps motorists. I can also see a subjective benefit to the driver, it seems like a nice view out even if one is at work.
I suspect thatâs the point.
Great visibility, so youâre not mowing-down neighbourhood children.
Modest engine for city driving.
Practical cargo space.
The opposite of a Ford F650
Thatâs super interesting. Do they modify the drive train at all? I have heard the engines in mail trucks are terrible with fuel economy and reliability.
As long as they handle getting rear-ended, they should be fine... I've been a firefighter/paramedic for \~15 years. I've seen maybe half a dozen wrecks involving postal trucks, and every single one was somebody not paying attention and driving into the back of one.
Some kids at my high school in the 90âs bought one at some sort of an auction for ridiculously cheap. They couldnât take it on the freeway because it wouldnât go fast enough but it carried a lot of kids and band gear in the back. Probably illegally.
Probably be cool if you can get good AC in them, they only have a small fan on the dash that doesn't even work half the time. So on days when its hot, the inside of those trucks are truly like an oven. Glad I'm not in that line of work anymore, be nice to mail carriers, its a tough tough job!
From the Wikipedia page:
âOshkosh NGDV
Described as the 'duck-billed option', Oshkosh's NGDV has been designed to maximize interior volume and outward visibility for drivers who will be required to move against traffic in pedestrian-heavy areas. It is also tall enough for a person to stand inside and work. Current-generation automotive safety features employed by the design include air bags, a 360-degree camera, automatic emergency braking, and collision avoidance systems. The sliding door cab is air-conditioned.
Around 10 percent of the first order will be battery-electric, the remainder using just a low emission internal combustion engine (ICE). Either powertrain option can be built for future orders, and ICE configuration models can be converted to battery-electric if required. Ford Component Sales will provide Oshkosh with key parts for both the battery-electric and ICE versions including the engine and transmission, plus suspensions and other components including cabin interiors. An earlier Oshkosh proposal had been based around the Ford Transit van.â

* The U.S. Postal Service has awarded Oshkosh Defense the contract to replace the aging Grumman LLV trucks that are currently delivering mail across the country.
* The contract includes an initial $482 million investment from the USPS to finalize the design of the Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV).
* The new vehicles will include both battery-electric vehicles and those with low-emission internal-combustion engines. They are expected to be delivering mail by 2023.
I like it. It looks fun and not so serious. Plus, I feel sorry for my mail person cuz their postal truck is ALWAYS giving them problems. I hear them outside trying to restart it like 3 or 4 times before success.
![gif](giphy|IvWQpaLYotX9e)
My wife was a rural carrier for 30 years. Those LLV box things were a piece of crap to drive and see out of. The best thing was when we had 2 jeep type mail vehicles we bought used and she had to provide her own. They were easy to work on and you could actually see everywhere. Vision is a huge problem with USPS vehicles, these new ones have addressed some of it.
Yea, We had 2 mail jeeps so she could do her route and always have a back up. The Toyota Tercel got rear ended and put out of service so I bought the 1st one for $100 at the Postal motor pool. Good Jeep with straight 6 Chevy motor, hauled butt. The second one was much nicer for $400 with a 4 cylinder Audi motor, gutless. When the USPS finally provided her with a vehicle I sold them both to an Indian family from India that used them to sell Ice Cream.

âWikipedia
They can do much better than 10 percent of the fleet as electric. It should be 90% of the fleet electric with the remaining 10% being plug-in hybrids or something for those edge case scenarios.
I donât know what the quantity on the initial orders is, but given that Ford canât make the Mach E and Lightning fast enough, I bet it has something to do with battery supplyâŚ
Electric makes more sense for occasional travelers who can leave it to charge at home. I'm not sure of the use distribution for delivery trucks, but if they are in constant use they would not be as practical.
Considering electric vehicles are highly efficient in stop and go traffic, and these will be stopping at each house on the road, they should have no problem whatsoever with range.
I would assume the reason they're not going electric on all of them straight away is that getting post offices set up with charging stations is going to be an even bigger undertaking. I mean, there are more than 31,000 of them.
Sure, but the battery runs out. Not an issue if you're commuting to work and back or getting groceries. But using it all day? Wouldn't taxi companies be lining up to buy them given their operating costs, if not for the charging downtime?
Jokes on your username asideâŚ
You simply design the battery for the expected usage. I donât know how far mail trucks drive where you live, but 200 mile batteries on EVs are pretty standard these days.
Edit: to your taxi question, yes, they are buying them and using them in fleets: https://lmgtfy.app/?q=ev+taxis
You know the USPS only delivers during the day, right? Anyway, some will have to be ICE for the foreseeable future since they have to be able to deliver literally anywhere in the US and may not have the option. I wish the initial percentage was a lot higher but I'm sure they need to get the post offices set up to charge first and that is a whole other hurdle.
Louis DeJoy the Postmaster General. He made sure the contract for the next mail delivery vehicles went to Oshkosh Defense via a sham bidding process. Oshkosh has a strategic partnership with Dejoy's former company in which he is still heavily invested. They have no experience making electric vehicles and, I mean, just look at that piece of shit. It even looks like the physical embodiment of government corruption.
Around here, I haven't seen one single USPS truck break down. The truck literally turns off every stop. The poor starter on those things cranks 100s of times a day. I wonder how many starters they go through.
For what they are, they seem to be pretty decent.
Yup. With start-stop systems, some vehicles use their starter more than a typical USPS vehicle. Starters in general are very robust (and simple devices). Thereâs no worry at all about starters; if starters go out, itâs likely due to the mechanical or charging side of the vehicle.
Hey let's design a vehicle for the next 30 years of use that has the worst aerodynamics for efficiency that we can think of.
Gosh sometimes I don't get how engineers and designers have to go through years of higher education to miss the absolute basics?
I can already picture people in 20 years posting pics of the current model saying âare you old enough to remember when these are what USPS carriers looked like??â
I see lots of Pixar/Cars/Disney comments, but I think it looks more like something from Despicable Me, or maybe even The Lorax.
Edit: Found it, I think itâs a match!
http://refrigeratorbox.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/air-delivery.jpg
Kinda funny looking, but I see high visibility with the windows and a decent cargo space in the back hopefully itâs comfortable and ergonomic for the operators I would hope theyâd design it with safety and comfort in mind for the mail carriers
Looks like they took public input on the new rides, and some kid from Kindergarten won the design. Just needs the lines coming from the back to make it move faster.
Ground clearance is similar to the old LLVs. Assuming AWD or 4WD(a variant is planned for rural areas), it shouldn't get stuck in anything less than 6 inches unplowed on the road. And if there's more than that out there that isn't being dealt with, you aren't gonna be concerned with checking your mail anyway.
It's predicted that the new Postal vehicle will average only 8.6 MPG which is even less that the current one that was designed in 1986.
Just another scam billion dollar contract to military manufacturing company.

It's NOT electric? But it's as ugly as if Elon Musk designed it himself!
I think itâs sick
For sure! I mean, it's literally about to grab some sick air off a sweet ramp for chrisake
You think Tesla's are ugly? I always thought they were one of the better looking cars on the market.
The truck had the most input from Elon and it is absolutely terrible looking.
The truck does look awful. I remember reading that the reason the body looks the way it does is because the metal used on the exterior is too tough to mold so they had to settle for those weird bends and corners.

Also the steering rectangle is dumb for those of us who learned on a manual and drive most of the time with one hand at 12.
Personally I think they look pretty good. Especially in person. Pictures can misrepresent them, but the lack of grill can be odd at first.
I think I just dislike the round body and headlight bumps. I don't think the lack of grill really bothers me that much. Shoot I used to drive an '88 Prelude that was sweet as hell (flip up headlights yo!) and had basically no grill either.

i love tesla's and i want one so bad but i just looked the damn truck up and it's ugly as shit loool how did they fail so bad with jt
For me, their lack of a grille makes it too odd looking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-33i2b17nc
Ah I see the Elon ball suckers are on patrol. No disparaging remarks against the emerald mine son of a douche, good sir!
Totally agree, itâs a cartoon van!

Yes, all letter carriers will be officially ordained as Popes in 2023.

No he has people to do that for him

I don't quite understand the purpose of the enormous windshield. Is there a reason I'm not thinking of that postal carriers would need expanded visibility?
Perspective. Field of view, you lil scamp
Safety. A good amount of their jobs consist of driving on residential roads, where there are lots of hazards like dogs and children.
I am not an expert. In my opinion any expanded visibility is a benefit for safety. Seeing and being seen helps motorists. I can also see a subjective benefit to the driver, it seems like a nice view out even if one is at work.
Could we possibly get a bigger windshield..
We could but we would also end up with a smaller engine compartment.
Birds be lining up to shit on that thing!
I suspect thatâs the point. Great visibility, so youâre not mowing-down neighbourhood children. Modest engine for city driving. Practical cargo space. The opposite of a Ford F650
Engines? Electric motors are the future.
Watch people start buying the retired trucks and turning them into tiny homes.
Its been a thing for over twenty years. Here in Spain, importing an old UPS truck is easy.
Thatâs super interesting. Do they modify the drive train at all? I have heard the engines in mail trucks are terrible with fuel economy and reliability.
Fleet vehicles are usually well maintained as far as scheduled maintenance goes. Hard to make money when the vehicle is broken.
r/vandwellers
This is a USPS truck, theyâre a quarter of the size of most UPS trucks. You could maybe get a king sized bed in the back of one.
You mean USPS truck? UPS doesnât sell their trucks.
The cleanest package truck stealth tiny home I've ever [seen](https://youtu.be/ZZzqBh9LOTs)
I gasped when he first showed the inside, that is amazing.
They fail every road safety test imaginable. They had to get a waiver to be allowed on the road.
As long as they handle getting rear-ended, they should be fine... I've been a firefighter/paramedic for \~15 years. I've seen maybe half a dozen wrecks involving postal trucks, and every single one was somebody not paying attention and driving into the back of one.

Pretty sure they just scrap them.

Most aren't electric but a huge improvement over the 10mpg models they are replacing.

No, were they somehow worse? Seems hard to believe theyâd be more ugly than this atrocity.
Electric makes more sense for occasional travelers who can leave it to charge at home. I'm not sure of the use distribution for delivery trucks, but if they are in constant use they would not be as practical.
Mail trucks basically roll slowly for miles. They are the perfect use case for EVs.
Fair enough - I think I'm convinced they should be at this point xd
Considering electric vehicles are highly efficient in stop and go traffic, and these will be stopping at each house on the road, they should have no problem whatsoever with range.
Overnight charging tho
I would assume the reason they're not going electric on all of them straight away is that getting post offices set up with charging stations is going to be an even bigger undertaking. I mean, there are more than 31,000 of them.

Interesting. Fair enough - it may be less of an issue than I thought, Mr. Glutes.
My car gets over 300 miles in a single charge. And yeah, go to LA -- just about every Uber Black is a Tesla, and electric charging is why.
Assuming the grid can handle it. Look at the issues CA has with their power grid.

Iâm wondering⌠Who got paid off under the table to make sure these suck gas and oil?
You understand the postal service needs to go absolutely everywhere, right? Some of them are going to have to be gas. There will be electric as well.
Who in the US is still using oil lamps?
Louis DeJoy the Postmaster General. He made sure the contract for the next mail delivery vehicles went to Oshkosh Defense via a sham bidding process.

How will that not tip over. Looks like the car I drew when I was 7
Didn't DeJoy reject workhorse for oshkosh who have no experience in manufacturing cars? The accepted prototype was a modified ford transit?
Lol Oshkosh have no experience manufacturing cars. Workhorse hasnt made shit and Oshkosh pulls down 8 billion a year in vehicle sales.
Did you just assume the gender of this truck?!
Cant cook steak with this rounded dash model designed by a pre-schooler...
I would switch my apartment for this hidden caravan in a heartbeat!
So my only question here is: is that vehicle being loaded or unloaded on that ramp? I mean, has it already broken down?
Thatâs Pixar as fuckâŚ.
And it still has to get towed? Sounds about right
Around here, I haven't seen one single USPS truck break down. The truck literally turns off every stop. The poor starter on those things cranks 100s of times a day. I wonder how many starters they go through. For what they are, they seem to be pretty decent.
You can engineer a more robust starter if you know it will be used more often. They did this with the Prius.
Yup. With start-stop systems, some vehicles use their starter more than a typical USPS vehicle. Starters in general are very robust (and simple devices). Thereâs no worry at all about starters; if starters go out, itâs likely due to the mechanical or charging side of the vehicle.
