Love the design (rear lighting, doors, dashboard [1], all the very functional handles and space design for easy movement). It's always funny how it takes electric vehicles for car companies to take risks or do something different. It's much larger [2] than it seems from their pictures Duug Demuro gave a full tour of the vehicle [VIDEO] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK]

Doug DeMuro did a rather comprehensive walkthrough as well. [VIDEO] Annoyingly, they didn't fix my main UX gripe with delivery vehicles, which is that they use the same lights for the hazards and turn signals. It's quite common for the right half of a stopped van to be obscured, which makes it impossible to tell the difference between "hazards on, delivering a package" and "left blinker on, about to cut in front of you".
