No mail in Southwood Valley, Friday and Saturday. Now on Sunday I see a USPS mini-van show up and the "carrier" is delivering the normal mail. Is this how USPS is "improving" delivery? Wait until Sunday so you can pay the carrier double time?

Anyone else have their regular mail delivered today (Sunday?).

They deliver packages on Sunday always because of Amazon

Not amazon packages, every mail box on my street was receiving their normal mail.

If Workhorse had gotten the USPS electrical truck business, I would be rich, super rich, as I invested heavy on the hype.

They took "a camel is a horse designed by committee" to be an instruction and not a warning.

This vehicle looks like Homer Simpson's BBQ pit.

I can't get mail consistently during the week let alone on Sunday.

If you're willing to be honest, that looks like a very purpose built design for residential delivery.

Since it's electric, you do not need a long high hood over/around an engine. The angled bumper can get in and out of tight spots with other cars on the street probably very close to curbside mailboxes. The large windshield provides the driver excellent field of view, again with people parked very close to mailboxes. Finally it's tall enough in the back to allowed most carriers to stand up completely or with minimal stooping/bending.

What's it's range? I presume sufficient for most suburban residential routes?

Not a one size fits all, but if it fits a niche that covers 50% of their routes...
