Does Rivian actually sell delivery vehicles to anyone other than Amazon?

I’m curious whether Rivian has an exclusivity deal with Amazon or if they’re totally maxed out capacity wise just producing the EDV.

Watching the YouTube videos about the EDV I was thinking of that dogshit diesel Oshkosh thing the USPS ordered and shaking my head.

The EDV is very Amazon tailored but if the USPS could front some cash to get another factory built and have Rivian produce a truck based on the EDV there I feel like that would be better than getting some electric motors bolted to an armored car like Oshkosh would provide.

from the videos and articles I was able to find about the amazon EDV, amazon's investment stipulation was for Amazon to get first dibs on having their EDV manufactured and delivered first. Fortunately, it was not an exclusive platform for Amazon, anyone else can order it
