The design draws on more than 100,000 operating hours of first-generation deployments. Internal cabling is cut by 81 percent, and a full swerve drive swap takes about one hour instead of a day. Stretch Gen 2 unloads up to 1,000 cases per hour, depending on case weight and stacking. Its battery lasts two shifts, and a fast charger reaches 90 percent in about 75 minutes.
