Excellent idea Lee - I can see it now. Postperson enters Tesla Showroom and says
'I drive a Tesla Mail Carrier for work, now I want the Model S for play.'
They might not "hook" the mail carriers themselves. They're not likely
to be rich enough to afford one.
But I *can* see using the model S ust to get the mail carriers to be
enthusiastic supporters of EVs. After all, they get to drive a sports
car instead of a truck!
Then Tesla can sell customized EV "mail trucks" to the Post Office for
some inflated price, to get back all the money they spent on the free
samples.
