They need profits, not just revenue, and Amazon is known for squeezing suppliers.

I think Amazon is invested too.

But even as a customer, EV delivery is a big cost saver and competitive advantage for Amazon. They o Lu way they'd let them fail is if they could buy electric trucks cheaper elsewhere.

Businesses frequently fail due to cashflow management issues, revenue is not a golden ticket.

Amazon hires contractors for delivery services, and they go bust all the time due to insane demands and low margins. Providing services for Amazon is not a ticket for the gravy train.

Amazon is also a significant investor in Rivian.
