Which I strongly disagree.

 

[AlexB]

Carlos states all FCA & PSA employees “get it” about Stellantis and the need to make disruptive decisions.

Carlos says “ no way” will Stellantis be a “Legacy Company”.

Hmh... I would argue that FCA was hit harder. It doesn't matter.

I don't think that FCA and PSA results are comparable because of different accounting methods.

It seems that PSA had postponed some projects by a lot. Their fake DCT project is postponed to 2023. I say fake because it has a single clutch so technically it's not a DCT.

 

[AlexB]

Carlos states Stellantis must succeed in China.
