Stellantis NV has faced plant shutdowns and delayed vehicle deliveries in recent weeks due to suppliers refusing to ship parts in protest over costs — and more shutdowns could be imminent. The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram brands has taken a hard line toward parts makers seeking...

This is the only upcoming product I'm actually excited for - @redriderbob ; any word on when Job 1 starts at SHAP?

Even the lowly Expedition outsold the Wagoneer this past quarter - https://fordauthority.com/2023/04/ford-expedition-sales-numbers-figures-results-first-quarter-q1-2023/ The King of the market remains the Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/Escalade. Unsurprisingly, all of these GM vehicles come standard with...

Chrysler-parent Stellantis looks to trim around 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs -union letter I was right, from the very beginning. They are trying to destroy this company (again).

The Ram 1500 should receive a MCA refresh for the 2024 Model Year. My guess is that 2024 builds will start later, in November/December. The 2024 Wrangler MCA is similar in that production will start in November/December. I really liked the new screen on the Wrangler. It's still overpriced, but...

Biden looks to boost EV sales with plan to cut vehicle emissions This sentence doesn't make sense - "The Biden administration is not proposing banning gasoline-powered vehicles, but wants comments on whether it should extend emissions rules through 2035 and on other alternatives." What if...

FCA Reports First-quarter 2023 US Sales - Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) Are you ready for a month long shutdown at Toledo, Jefferson 1 and 2, SHAP, and WTAP during the summer? Because that's what's coming. Remember - this is 100% on Tavares and the yes-men at CTC.

Decided to swing by the local dealership and take the 2023 Compass (which now has the 2L engine) for a spin - $37K on the Monroney sticker for a 2023 Compass Limited. LMAO, they are out of their minds. Do you see what's happening yet? First they overprice the vehicles. Then they start cutting...

Good job Tavares, good job Elkann. (/sarcasm)

2024 BMW X5 And X6 Debut With Mild-Hybrid Engines And 483 HP PHEV "If you will it dude, it is no dream" - Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski

Reuters - U.S. says more Tesla, Ford, GM EVs eligible for tax credits

In case it wasn't obvious to everyone already - all of the PHEVs and EVs that STLA is currently building or will build in the future are being ensured to meet the US IRS/Treasury definition of an SUV/Truck, so that the $80K EV tax credit purchase ceiling limit is applicable. STLA is not...

STLA executives went overboard with pricing, just like I said - https://fordauthority.com/2023/01/new-lincoln-inventory-at-over-90-days-supply-in-december/ Maybe they shouldn't have tried fleecing Customers as much as they liked in 2022? 2023 and beyond will be painful for STLA US hourly and...

A very shaking looking Ram BEV concept that had no mention of the gas engine/range extension? A YouTube Premier of the truck that was almost entirely CGI? I doubt the doors or bed extension make it into production. And if that thing makes it into production by December 31st 2024, it'll be a...

Just as I predicted, EV demand is crashing. As much as I dislike STLA executives, at least they didn’t pull a GM (refuse to invest in hybrids and sell baked over 10 Year old crossover and car platforms) or Ford (letting Doug Fields, who is an absolute idiot, make pricing or product decisions)...

As I referenced in an earlier thread (Next L Car Hybrid Electrification clue - 2024 Corvette E-Ray is _not_ a PHEV) I have reason to believe that the Inline-6 engine can be paired with a mild-hybrid (MHEV) setup to achieve high-performance. STLA also has experience within PHEVs, and has...

Expect a similar setup on the next L cars with the I6 - 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray Spied In Right-Hand Drive Configuration

Stellantis to idle Jeep plant, citing rising EV-related costs; UAW vows to fight And if the Cherokee is uncompetitive in the most competitive segment of the CUV/SUV market - what stellantis executive was laid off because of a poor/uncompetitive product offering? Why should the rank and file...

If this does happen, expect Tim to come out and say “we were wrong to signal the end of the V8. Yes, we are going to do limited edition cars for the current platform but we are going to delay introducing the new platform until 2025”

Gee, let’s eliminate a shift for the only plant that makes our highest margin product, the press will be glad to parrot back the excuse we gave them. STOP LYING. YOU’RE SELLING A $100K TRUCK WITHOUT A V8?!? YOU DESERVE TO LOSE BUSINESS. OH WAIT, YOU ARE LOSING BUSINESS/NOT HITTING TARGETS...
