"Despite declining electric vehicle (EV) sales".... is that true, or is the growth slowing? I keep hearing the phrase different ways in different areas but I believe the overall EV sales numbers per year are increasing, and that the growth rate is slowing.

This would be a good litmus test for the population of this site as a predictor of consumer purchases. Let's revisit in 24 months....

Isn't the price of paint driven by the price of the pigments that are used to generate the color? Is it true that pigments are a resource, and as a result fluctuate in price? Are they considered a commodity (but not necessarily traded)?

The 500 is just not a style hit for US consumers. ICE or BEV, I don't think it will sustainably get any attraction. As a family of a now former 500, getting service was a PITA - as only select dealers would work on the vehicle, and you had to drive 50 miles sometimes to get minor service...

300/Charger build-up skews the data a little. This data would be more valuable with previous sales rate data and build-rate data to see the full picture. No fault to @redriderbob by any means, he posted data. Armchair analysis and perspectives of the data should factor that in. With all of...

Yes, this surely requires some serious retrospective of what caused this to not gain attraction or attention. I'm sure so many here have their theories and experiences, but I hope the company does a serious "ride along" to find out why people shy away from them. While dealer input is valuable...

I missed this until today's post, that the word FIAT is missing from places like the steering wheel, the dashboard, the front cowl, etc. I see that is also missing for the EU version so nothing suggestive I suppose.

I thought the new (old) logo was being reserved for BEVs and the // logo was remaining on ICE? Did I miss that shift somewhere or was it all originally a dream?

Yes, evidence seems to suggest there is a measurable footprint that is resistive to having some autonomy pulled away from them on what kind of power plant to use in their vehicle. I imagine that measurable footprint is highly represented in this forum. What I don't know, beacuse I don't...

I know everyone here loves your ICE, but I had the opportunity to drive a Bolt the other day. I was so impressed with how the car responded to the pedal and the torque. Range envy and charging time aside, that experience coupled with what was suggested in the video above, could make for one...

N.A. Jeep Purists would not want a non-offroad with the "Jeep" brand logo. While it is true, U.S. consumers are not fans of smaller (relatively) vehicles, I imagine the decision was more geared toward many here would be scowl at the addition. With that said, the body size could make its way...

I had read STLA large, Chrysler says its first EV outshines the Airflow concept, hints at a future electric 300

I get that people will pay premium for a Jeep vehicle. I get that Jeep is a global affinity brand. I can see why Stellantis decided to release this vehicle as a Jeep Wagoneer. With all of that said, is this not a Chrysler vehicle for N.A.? Maybe that is what the Airflow was and Chris and crew...

Well said @TripleT . Plugged in folks will recognize the similarities but normal consumers don't see the fact these two vehciles are sort of twins

I think that is what they are telling you - that the new Chrysler is not going to be what it tried to be before and had a difficult time competing with others (aside from Minivan). They are going to not chase after their traditional customers but rather be a more bleeding edge brand that brings...

If they can still make shareholders happy with $$ irrespective of sales #s, then that is what matters. While the two are often linked, they are not as tightly coupled as some garner.

It is a go bold or go bust versus a slow painful death. As for Tesla, they are floated on the ego of their CEO and the perception of their stock. The more times goes on the more they have stay power but unless they stay ahead of the compeition from Kia, GM, and BMW, the novelty of Telsa = EV...

You mean like this one? Concept We Forgot: 1987 Chrysler Lamborghini Portofino . :)

I have to admit, you surprised me Bill. I agree with you, the end result will have to remove a lot of the features as implemented due to safety and compliance requirements. As you (and Bob) said it is clearly setting the nature of Chrysler to be a slight throwback to bold and forward...

Let me know where that Model 3 is for $12k, I'll snatch it and flip it for profit.
