Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I've never seen one of those on the road yet, but whoever designed them should probably consider a career change.
EDIT: I've accepted that I'll just never understand why some things get down-voted here. Like, do people actually like the way that design looks?
It looks like a Grumman LLV somehow reproduced with a cartoon duck, a pug, and one of these:
You've stumbled into 3 very powerful headwinds buddy:
1-Lemmy hates Republicans so they will support whatever Republicans are trying to get rid of
2-Its an EV and EVs are cool
3- Lemmy (especially c/FuckCars) HATES the new trend of trucks with very high grilles that block your view in front of you. The new mail trucks swing cartoonishly in the other direction, so it's pretty much their ideal truck.
Ohhhh thank you for clearing some of this up! I'm still kinda new to this.
That's wild how many people seem to fit all 3 dimensions — and so strongly that they're seemingly offended by some light criticism of any EV? Am I reading the situation right? (Edit: er, maybe it offended people that fit in one or two of those groups... Unions vs. intersections)
Hot take (apparently): Some vehicles — including but not limited to EVs — are ugly. I stand by that.
The old USPS delivery vehicle wasn't pretty either, but somehow I think nobody would be offended by that.
I swear social media people make me feel like an alien sometimes lol
