Obviously this thing won't compete with a REAL #RockClimbing vehicle like "#Clampy" cuz that thing - or anything that can even try to compete at "#KingOfHammers" isn't #StreetLegal even by #US standards, and #Rivian certainly made sacrifices to comply with #CrashCompatibility (#EU standards) and be something some #rich #Boomers would want to buy (i.e. A/C instead of CB radio, padded, heated and cooled leather seats instead of hard buckets with 5-point harnesses) since they are the only ones manufaturers want to sell anything at a reasonable price at all ...

  • Still if #GroupB was still around I'm shure Rivian would send in #R1T / #R1S in as #EV|s...

Here is a screenshot of the rich editor and extra recipients features that I've just pushed in Libervia web. A "forward" feature has also been added.

This is still XMPP messaging, those feature are specified (XEP-0297, XEP-0033, and rich content is currently using legacy XEP-0071 but will move to XEP-0394 in future).

Those feature will be specially useful with the email gateway, but work in any chat.

Dear Rich Folks of America

Don’t forget to thank the MAGA suckers and loser who voted for Trump.

Without their votes the giant tax cuts you just got while MAGA Trump voters lose their healthcare and many other benefits wouldn’t have been possible.

Thx,
Hammy

I think it's good that #Jaguar *stopped making #cars* because the cars they did make in recent times were #SuperUselessVehicles, overpriced and ugly #ConceptCars one couldn't even buy and just generally worse, more expensive and less quality than anything other European brands coughed up.

  • If someone wanted something sporty, #Audi and #Porsche would get them a good offering at a lower price.

  • If they needed some shitty #SUV, #MercedesBenz and #BMW would offer their GL & X series if a #VW #Tiguan wasn't wasn't cutting it and they didn't want an #Amarok.

  • And for anything #cargo or #HighCapacity Jaguar never offered anything (unless we cound requesition production during #WW2 & #WW1)...

I do blame the folks at #TataMotors who own Jaguar (and #LandRover) for refusing to actually innovate and produce some good vehicles.

Obviously Jaguar won't build a #PersonalLightVehicle even if they were to make a super-luxurious one that has the interior of a fighter jet and a price tag to match.

  • Similarly #Bentley struggles as well and for #RollsRoyce their car division - like the #camera division of #Leica - is just a tiny side-hustle kept rolling out of passion and tradition whilst being a rounding error in their finances (cuz the most made Product of Rolls Royce is called "Trent", not "Phantom" and is a turofan engine. likewise Leica makes their money with precision engineering and lab instruments)!

I mean, look at what Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls Royce et. al. offer in a time where people in the U.S. get 5+ year downpayments on USED CARS (!!!) and tell me with a straight face that this is a sustainable market.

  • Spoiler: It's not!
