    As expected Elkann is not play with UAW:Warren Truck & Belvidere Closing,Sterling Heights cuts & more IF Strike

    Good luck selling high margin Rams and Jeeps built in Mexico. And building a replacement set of six plants there. You have no idea what's coming

    As expected Elkann is not play with UAW:Warren Truck & Belvidere Closing,Sterling Heights cuts & more IF Strike

    People making less than $30 an hour have nothing to lose in this economy. Most of them have just stayed on long enough to see this strike. Young UAW workers don't have houses, they maybe have apartments or live with family. There is no 'we'll blow through the strike funds and lose our house'...

    As expected Elkann is not play with UAW:Warren Truck & Belvidere Closing,Sterling Heights cuts & more IF Strike

    I'd rather Chrysler as an entity cease to exist, and salvage Jeep and maybe Ram, than continue to allow these leeches to leech. They're not going to strike all three, they're going after Stellantis, which is great. Bleed Stellantis dry like they've done to their Customers and workers.

    As expected Elkann is not play with UAW:Warren Truck & Belvidere Closing,Sterling Heights cuts & more IF Strike

    The current situation is untenable. I would rather see Chrysler sold, even if it means fewer workers / plants, temporarily. It can build back. Chrysler deserves to be free from these leeches.

    Shut the factories down, starve Tavares from what he cares about the most - money. Sell Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram to GM already, LEAVE THIS COUNTRY YOU LEECHES.

    Stellantis 1st half earnings and conference call

    This is why I'm not buying another vehicle from this company. 17% profit margins - yeah, no thanks.

    Stellantis says no to NACS for now.

    If Tesla wants Fed money, the Tesla chargers require both CCS and NACS. Probably the only thing I agree on with this regime.

    STLA not interested in building a PHEV or EV for under $55K

    /ahem ;) Next-Gen Electric Chrysler SUV: No Longer Airflow in Name or Design So yes, the original Airflow design was cancelled, the vehicle they are working on now is being purposely designed to receive a 'truck' designation so they aren't capped at $55K - the truck EV incentive extends all...

    RAM 1200/Rampage/Dakota??

    The Chicken Tax needs to get a Mexico exemption.

    RAM 1200/Rampage/Dakota??

    So building another factory and adding another variant, which is yielding (combined) 25% fewer sales than the single model (in the previous generation), is success by your definition? https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/jeep-grand-cherokee-sales-figures/ 2021 sales were goosed because both WK2...

    RAM 1200/Rampage/Dakota??

    The new Cherokee (KM) will be - 1) More Expensive than the Compass (stating the obvious here, but a mid-trim Compass is now in the mid-upper $30K range, which is insane) 2) Will most likely be in the low to mid $40K range for a mid-level trim, vastly more expensive than KL mid-level trim...

    RAM 1200/Rampage/Dakota??

    Correct. This management team isn't interested in competing on price, because they can't. Hell, they killed the Cherokee, because they couldn't make a compelling product in highest volume / most competitive segment (D-size CUV) in the US market. And the newest Grand Cherokees (WL74 / 5...

    Stock below $16, $50B market cap. Good to see that its lost value, hopefully that sends a message.

    The Grand Wagoneer flop - sales down 21% in Q1 2023 - the market has spoken, and it wants V8s!

    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...

    Mark Stewart Chief of Stellantis North America Interview

    The current US PHEVs (Grand Cherokee/Wrangler) use Samsung SDI, I think.

    Stellantis looks to cut 3500 US hourly/skilled trade positions

    "BTW, I don't think Stellantis is price gouging. If it's price gouging people would just have to put up with what the corporation is charging, instead Jeeps and Rams are stacking up on the lots." They've never had higher EBIT in North America than what they have now, with the lowest volume...
