I suppose this could also give us some insight into what the non-wood interior/dash might look like. E.g., the steering wheel and the dash still have the familiar elements, but are more utilitarian.

Here’s another article about the Amazon van. It has a few more interesting details, including this statement:

There’ll be three sizes of vehicle, eventually, scaled to suit different locations – from tight urban environments to more rural applications – and with different configurations of powertrain and battery size depending on where they’re be operated and what sort of terrain and weather they’ll have to handle.

This contract is why I am so bullish on Rivian. With this much production the end product is going to get better as it gets so much field use, Rivian has legs...
