Along with some of the wrapped R1Ts we’ve seen:

The photos, taken Saturday, show a van that very much looks like a prototype. It’s missing the standard “camouflage”-style wrap that most prototype vehicles get (including the three Rivian R1Ts which accompanied it), but the front and rear end are covered up.

do the vans go 0-60 in 3 seconds too?

It's called "rapid unload mode" - you leave the back door open and punch it.

Patent pending.

I understand the Amazon van is built for practical purposes and not for aesthetics - but yikes that thing is rough on the eyes. Maybe it's a photo perspective thing, but it also looks HUGE.

Agreed...super stealthy as well. Love the small cover in the front ginormous one in the rear.

I usually am quite against editing others photos without their permission (let alone fellow Pixel shooters), but I simply could not resist... @DrByrd, please forgive me...but something like this just made it feel much more complete.

Solid captures on the go by the way! Nailed it.

Those are unbelievably ugly. However, I am very interested to see if they can commercialize this skateboard into an rv.

Not my pics - they came from the link. Edit away!

It feels like the white shell is to hide the real body based on the back view of the truck.

Kinda like this maybe?

The four of them do kind of look like they're on a mission. Cybertruck is trying to steal energon from PG&E - must be stopped!
