Looks aside, I'll bet visibility is incredible, at least from the front. And I think that at least my mail carrier will appreciate having air conditioning. We still have a lot of the old LLV's here and it was 105 and humid all summer.
New design is goofy but I kinda love it, it looks like a cartoon. Also it just screams functionality, the driver can see so much out of that massive windshield
I'm not surprised. I drive an EV as a delivery vehicle, and it's pretty much the perfect use case for an EV. No engine that needs to be idles while you are out making deliveries, and regenerative breaking is very useful due to the constant stop and go
It's the exact opposite of something Musk would make. Every aspect of the old LLV was designed to be used. Every aspect designed for longevity. If the steering wheels aren't coming off of the Tesla cars, the metal cover is coming off of the Cybertruck's footpedal.
The old model was named the Long Life Vehicle (LLV) for a reason. Ugly for sure, but rock sold. Designed in an era when the main concern was to last 6 digits on the odometer, powered by the iron duke engine. Moderately efficient at the time of its design in the late 70s, but absolutely dependable.
