Someone send me the link when they start auctioning these off. I want to turn one into an RV.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago

That’s gotta be a pretty small RV.

That's a whole category of YouTubers.

Pretty big for some of us. My brother has been talking about buying a minivan to build into an RV and I’ve been wondering about sleeping in my EV with HVAC, and towing a utility trailer with supplies to build out an RV site with all the comforts of home

[-] BaroqueBobby@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah I want one too!

It's just like they're looking at the list of things that most people think are good ideas (EV mail trucks, not selling the land our national parks are on, etc), and laughing about it while they cancel or reverse every single one.

They are literally bullies in every sense of the word and I'm fucking pissed.

What a bizarre, nonsensical waste of money. Can they at least postpone the auction until they have a superior replacement available? That should postpone it for a couple of decades.

The goal is to bankrupt the usps and sell it off to third parties.

That would presume they're actually interested in solutions.

They look a little silly, but postal workers seriously love their new duck-mobiles! Please don't let them take them away from them. ☹️

Everyday has this "this must be the dumbest thing i ever heard" moment. And it just doesn't stop. :(

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

not the Postal DuckMobiles! damn them to hell for this sudden but predictable betrayal!

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 13 points 4 days ago

As much as I don't like that one head its the obvious use case. Lots of stop and go over a relatively smallish distance with a facility to recharge overnight.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

The worst part is they have spent far more on charging infrastructure by now than vehicles.

[-] Zomg@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Oof, you heard about the Iran situation though? Maybe don't lol.
