Driving Amazon’s ELECTRIC Delivery Vehicle: Rivian EDV

there's also this 20 minute video from an actaul amazon driver, not a car reviewer, which is pretty cool: ▶ this video

I watched a video [0] (that I think I found here, maybe Reddit) months ago about these trucks (a driver did a full “review” of it), it was pretty freaking cool. I started watching it thinking “I’ll only watch a minute or two” and got so engrossed I watched the whole thing. [0] ▶ this video

At the smaller end of electric trucks, here's a driver evaluation of the Rivian delivery truck made for Amazon.[1] This looks like it was designed by time and motion study people. It's optimized for a very specific job. Door control and access are all really easy as long as you have the key fob on you. The door to the package area opens and closes automatically, so when the driver is out of the vehicle, nothing is stealable. There are big screens, and they're showing the next few stops the driver is expected to make. If you take your foot off the accelerator, you come to a stop. Parking brake is automatic. It's boring, but useful. Tesla did not go that route. [1] ▶ this video
