The Cybertruck offends me. Teslas have always been sleek, efficient, nicely designed. Now this blocky thing that looks worse than a Hummer H2, will be far less efficient that it could have been, and almost looks designed to kill pedestrians and other vehicle occupants in collisions.

While Amazon doesn't own/operate the delivery service, they negotiated very low prices for the contractors for the vans.
As far as electric, it makes sense. "short range", less than 150 miles, delivery route and they can recharge overnight. Especially if the area has very low electric rates.
UPS does not air condition vans, even in Houston!
