    HARMONY-IN-MOTION: Meet The Chrysler Halcyon Concept

    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...

    HARMONY-IN-MOTION: Meet The Chrysler Halcyon Concept

    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.

    Tavares Speaks About EV Strategy For U.S. Given Current Politics

    I have a feeling that the majority of active folks here lean toward ICE over BEV as BEV fans tend to visit other arenas/forums. If BEVs were perfect, the solution would be obvious and we'd already be there. If ICE were perfect, we would be having this discussion.

    Tavares Speaks About EV Strategy For U.S. Given Current Politics

    The part I was hoping to link to was where you saw the insolvency. That was the part that I wanted to dig into more.

    Tavares Speaks About EV Strategy For U.S. Given Current Politics

    If BEVs were $25k then consumers would buy them and then charging providers would come in and fill the gap as they see profit or a market opportunity. The challenge is BEVs are $50k and if you look at that, all of the anxiety and issues with infrastructure are forefront. The electric grid is...

    Tavares Speaks About EV Strategy For U.S. Given Current Politics

    Bill, can you link to the references to those who are battling insolvency, I seemed to have missed that somewhere.

    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    Good point - another sub $30k usable vehicle. Not a lot of Chrysler vehicles in this space.

    Tavares is leaving Stellantis?

    I feel the automotive industry is on the precipice of a correction. High priced vehicles that are unaffordable by anyone but the early/eager adopters. BEV vehicles too high priced for anyone but the early/eager/eco adopters. If you want to keep #s in your quarter reports, I would have a low...

    Stellantis Will Cut About 630 Temporary Employees At Mulhouse In France

    The next two years are going to be tough for automotive manufacturers. Early adopters of EVs are mostly satisfied, mainstreamers are waiting for prices to settled, and we the laggards will lag, so they can't attract customers with EVs. ICE buyers likely bought in the last few years (based on...

    European 2024 Jeep® Renegade Looks To Be Getting An Update

    500x getting same interior treatment or is it left to use up remaining supplier stock? I've always liked the 500x size as a PT replacement, but the interior is just not NA enough for me. The Renegade was similar and thus I shied away...

    Stellantis Is Pulling Out Of North American Auto Shows

    Shows are not as popular across many industries. The pendulum will swing and a decade or two from now it will be niche and get a lot of attention. Chrysler is just ahead of the game like Apple's removal of floppy drives, and dropping CDROMs, and dropping out of trade shows as well. I bet...

    EV Prototype Caught Fire At Chrysler Tech Center, Last Month

    I had a similar thought, for years we have learned to stay away from fuels and the large tanks with the danger symbols. The stable/solid batteries are not something we tend to associate with a ton of potential energy. Q: Do haulers carrying *LiOn battery packs stop at all railroad tracks like...

    LEAKED: Upcoming Subcompact Lancia Ypsilon Shown

    The tastes of Euro customers differs from that in the United States and Canada. This is why the Fiat 500 fleet is one of the higher selling vehicles when compared with the N.A. counterparts

    Chrysler Pacifica Earns TOP SAFETY PICK in Latest IIHS Testing

    I really have never understood why this is not hammered home in marketing. Suburu has done this to the degree most think they and Volvo are the safety cars. If anything in the last six years have we learned - if you continue to make confident statements about something - irrespective of the...

    Upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona Will Feature A Functional Frunk

    When storage compartments were in the front of a vehicle in the days past, what was the compartment called? Can we not just use that name still ?
