SaysWho? Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I think this got lost over the holidays. In Feb 2021, 10% of the new fleet replacing the 30-year-old cars was going to be electric. The 20%. Then 40% after the USPS Reform. Now more than half after the IRA.

Who cares what these actually end up looking like? The point is that they’re not polluting the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I'm kind of fine with goofy looking mail trucks. The ones they've been using are distinctive, so go ahead and do a new one with a giant forehead and little tiny squished face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaku3 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thank you USPS for making up for me buying a gas car. I'm sorry everyone I thought it was but the sales dude at the dealer didn't even try to upsell me. I'd have paid a bit more for the same car but hybrid. I do feel bad about it honestly. I think it's too late to return it though. Fuk mom needs a biopsy of something on her ovaries. I love how my life is so shyt my mom and I could potentially both have cancer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
