Misleading: Congress gave USPS $3 billion to buy 66,000 electric vehicles. USPS has only received a small number at this time, but this does not mean they spent “$32 million” per vehicle. 3,000,000,000 / 66,000 = $45,454 per truck. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-postal-service-chief-defends-plan-buy-rising-number-evs-2024-12-10/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1867969818072375785

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
