Function vs style?
It's not how it looks, it's how well it works.

They better add a protective bar along the side of that windshield to protect it from the mailbox when the drivers
bash into it. I regularly find white paint on our boxes from being hit.
Built a heavy duty box at home out of 7 gauge SS304, it seems to survive the blind drivers.
Big box here at the store is always getting bent up.

If it's electric, why the long hood? Surely the batteries are not out front??!!
( Assume electric because of the charge cable)

Guaranteed to misdeliver your mail... And days late of course, more efficiently.

What was their old motto? Something about weather never stopping the mail? 'The mail must go through'...except when our silly batteries freeze, or our driver gets too cold...
They'll be built with Ford EcoBoost gas engines or as electrics.
Will it be faster than the ones they have now? Still waiting for a letter I sent 10 days ago to be delivered....
Better stock up on "Forever Stamps". A fleet of new USPS vehicles means stamps will be a dollar before you can say "Jack Sprat".
We just got new Mercedes vans around here.

I wonder if it comes with a Mr. Microphone?

We can rip the choice but it might actually work for suburban routes. Back to the barn and charge and load mail,
less maintenance ( maybe, but thinking so ), swap out battery units when dead. Be interesting to see a honest cost
comparison on some routes.
Still won't fix their biggest issue of poor quality workers, front end is likely designed as a "bumper car" for
a reason.

The union insisted on having a/c in the new ones, with so many carriers collapsing from heat and exhaustion, and that looks like a good place to put it, not intruding into the cargo area.
This delivery vehicle thing... I remember when the Postal Service bought the 30-year life vehicles. They must be getting close to the 30-year mark. Our mailman drives an old beat up vehicle that has 4 different tires, rattles and bangs, at times is very difficult to start and then it sounds so bad while trying to start, you don't want to be near, runs on most of its cylinders, and smokes. Not long ago, they had to come tow it back to the barn. Couple weeks later, it was back to rattling down the road.
