Chrysler/Ram CEO Chris Feuell recently addressed the expansion of Stellantis’ Saltillo Truck Assembly Plant (STAP) in Mexico, describing it as a strategic “relief valve” for the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) in Michigan. At a Reuters event in Detroit, Feuell clarified that the decision to boost capacity in Mexico wasn’t a cost-cutting measure following Stellantis’ recent labor agreements with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.

So in one day, they announce lay-offs at WAP. And the next day, they announce Saltillo was getting more work.
That's BS!!
And the guy says the 2 event's are not connected. Puh-lease!!

Stellantis is going to screw Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram and their workers over bad by mismanaging them into the ground.

Tavares is not only driving the north american operation to the ground, but also the european side. Figures just released ( from acea.auto ) shows that for september 2024 the market share for stellantis dropped from19,2% in sept 2023 to 14,9% this septembre. Thats a huge loss of market share. This guy should retire well before 2026.
 
Amazing how people just repeat a narrative for public consumption, deception really and expect folks to believe it. I wish Ram needs extra space to meet demand on the Ram pickup line, but so far we see no evidence of that happening anytime soon. This guy Tavares is quite arrogant and spiteful it seems to me and this whole thing is about punishing those who challenge his genius. This is how these guys roll and the cloistered world reality in which they live in their own mind. Tavares appears a product of Euro-think elitism and his disregard and indifference to all things new world is disgusting and in my eyes, obvious. Bet the guy has talent and a very keen skill set, but he falls short in planning, execution and interpersonal ability. Give him a desk somewhere in the basement and put a “real” person in charge, not a talking head like this women Feuell spinning it for the audience she fully knows doesn’t believe a word. Still don’t know her executive talent yet, maybe Carlos can explain it to us. Get her a desk in the basement too. Sounds cozy.

So Chrysler has new products, well were are they? Show some prototypes and when are they coming? Jeep has shown the Recon and it is not suppose to be in production in 2025. Dodge showed the Charger EV in 2022 and yet nothing from Chrysler. Stellantis wants the North American market to support the whole corp. without offering us vehicles we want. Job No.1 get Tim Kuniskis back and have him run the North American market unchecked.
 
To me, this shows the hatred that European business leaders have towards American businesses and American labor. This is all being done to hurt/spite Americans in the American labor force. By all means, I am not a big fan of the UAW, but this is just totally ridiculous.
 
Nah Ford is doing the same thing... But to Canada.... that plants that played hardball with the Union Contract are getting capacity back filled, some would call it retaliatory others would call it protectionary. And RAY most of the NA issue lie right at the feet of Kuniskis ... Pepe LeCheapskate has little to do with NA situation.

The corporate culture of group think is circling the wagons around the Dare Forward document of bad decision making. Tim, for a while was following marching orders, eventually redeemed and proved himself by saving the Charger with the Hurricane Six lifeline, but to his definitive character credit, he could not face his people with this garbage. He sacrIficed himself on the altar of Stellantis, yes being partially responsible initially but ultimately honorable by walking away. These people may save themselves and the company, but their good fortune will be gained at the price of those now suffering the methods they have chosen to pull this off. Yes LeCheapskate pain and sacrifice.
Personally I think they will get through this crisis, but their reputations have suffered beyond repair. Lackies and Losers.
