What are they waiting for? What’s to consider? If anyone there had any sense at all, they would have been the first to announce it before Ford did. This type of BS is why they are last at everything!

Stellantis is "not last" in profitability, in fact the opposite" of last ".

Time flies when you're having fun. It's hard to believe the Fiat 500e compliance car was introduced nearly a decade ago. The late Sergio Marchionne most infamous quote has to be when he said, "Don't buy one because we lose money on each one." (That's not an exact quote. There is a specific dollar amount which I can't recall.) The reason I keep bringing this stuff up is because when Sergio stepped into Auburn Hills he introduced a policy of keeping on the cutting edge of alternative power trains, but only market what is profitable. The Chevy Bolt is a disaster and GM has kicked the plug out of the wall. Ford's F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mock-e are money pits sinking the company. Sergio M also was criticized for terminating the contract with A123 batteries during bankruptcy. How dumb was that move in light or where we are today?

I would say the legacy Chrysler divisions under Stellantis are better prepared to take on our dystopian future than those others who are "first".
