Bezos isn't new to investing in EVs, he also was an investor in Rivian iirc.
The shock is more that something he’s heavily invested in is as privacy-friendly as it appears, instead of immediately sending everything to AWS servers
Yeah, though that was basically a greenwashing of their Amazon delivery carbon footprint. It might help, but I see them broken down on the side of the road an awful lot.
Doesn't help that Amazon delivery drivers are beat down with deadlines which causes them to beat the hell out of those vans (if that's what you mean).
I haven't seen a Rivian truck or SUV broken down on the side of the road yet, just the van
Oh yeah, it’s easy to see that Amazon pushed throughput over anything else. Like every lower 1/3 body panel on those vans are damaged or missing in or area. Like the drivers don’t even get a 15 minute driving course before they send them out in those things.
