STLA sightings rage on! RAM 1500 REV caught this time.

[CloversPlusCats]

Not big on trucks, but obviously thought to share as soon as I saw.
I believe I read here only the 350 mile one shows up this year before the 500 mile monster and Ramcharger pop up next year.

Also will probably dump future upcoming car sightings to this thread in hopes conversation doesn't get too cluttered cause of the varying models...

I do like the styling, although prefer the blue one they showed initially.

Overpriced junk

Don't know why they're still taking off part of the wing and leaving camo.

Also just came to me that Hydro Blue could basically be Bludicrous for Dodge but I have no clue if that's actually the case.

Testers get pretty beat up, so not sure I would read into the missing wing much.

Maybe they are still fine tuning the wing, and doing a no-spoiler baseline?

Or, the spoiler broke and fell off

But trying to remain positive here

Looks like the thing on the roof is attached to the rear hatch and that is why the wing is missing from the vehicle

Possibly, but past mules didn't use the 360 cameras and still had the wing taken off.
I'll wager it's just so it's easier to put the cameras on, but also maybe aerodynamics/range estimates reasons.
Jeep hasn't figured that out (400 miles became 300+ when the crossover was more shown off some weeks ago) while Dodge is already certain on Daytona ranges.

This Charger sighting is a smidge more interesting.

For one, they're starting to actually put the fender badges now (I could kinda tell what was an R/T and Scat Pack by spoiler or lack of though).
If you watch the video though...it might be revving this time? A reply to a comment said "no where close" when asked if it was V8 like.

If that is it? Something definitely feels missing. Let's hope for the sake of all that budget used that they have it figured by next month.

That is a planted / staged leak by the way. And yes, the car does have a speaker that puts out rev sounds.

If you have to fake something in a consumer product, it's not going to be well received. Ask any industrial designer.

Can't tell if Charger is "well received" until it fully launched which won't be until fall 2025, so 2026 will be the first year to pass judgement.
Any other argument/claim falls under "Wish-Failing" before production!

 

[TripleT]

Yeah based on Jeep WS I would guess the volume total for the EV at this point would be around 10K, even smaller number of Nasty version maybe 500.... so there will be no Metric to judge the success that are pushed here. You cannot go by volume, and you will not be able to judge based on how long the sit.

You do realize that the fake exhaust note or a sound is actually a mandate for electric vehicles, it allows people with vision disabilities to be able to hear it when approaching.

Fiat Plays music.... both my PHEV play electronic sound..... the need to hate something that you're not a consumer for is to a fever pitch at this point when you start hating things that are mandated for safety. "I don't want it so NO ONE should have it" what narcissistic position. Of all the sounds it could make a growl fits this vehicle the best. As some who has been nearly run over in China by those damn silent scooters I understand this.

As for staged vehicles then EVERY vehicle that has had it pre=launch Mile up testing is staged...... ALL VEHICLES from every manufacture do this TESTING all of them.

There's a difference between that and what they're doing with the EV Charger

 

[CloversPlusCats]

Another black Charger.

At this point the only thing that hasn't been spotted is a "+" in front of Ram/Jeep/Dodge annual sales figures.

how can you have Sales when half your capacity is in transition. And AGAIN volume is not the goal unless you sell a commodity like plastic cups or toilet paper.

GM is stealing STLA market share and profits.

As we discussed before, FCA/Stellantis is more profitable than GM in North America since 2019.

quit lying GM is winning because they sell more cars, the metric for success for a corporation is volume, not profit. Shareholders love that.
