Stellantis Post It’s Sales Numbers For The U.S. In Q4 2023!

FCA US, Takes 47% Of The PHEV Sales In America For 2023...

Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) has released its Q4 2023 and 2023 calendar year results. FCA US recorded sales of 343,552 vehicles in Q4 2023, marking a marginal 1% decline compared to last year. Despite this minor dip, specific segments, such as commercial fleet sales, surged by an impressive 20%, achieving their best-ever year. It shows that the market continues to plateau with higher interest rates, inflation, and climbing car prices.

As the company continues to move forward with its intentions with electrification, it has seen substantial growth in the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) segment, witnessing a remarkable 124% increase in total U.S. PHEV sales year-over-year. Notably, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe secured the top spot as America’s best-selling PHEV, followed by the Grand Cherokee 4xe, and rounding out the top 3 was the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. FCA US held a dominant 47% market share in the PHEV market.

Brand-Specific Highlights During Q4 2023:

Let’s not hit the panic button, but let’s light a small fire under Stellantis management. Your starving North America for new product, from the products Americans demand, entranced by what environmental zealots rant for and are clearly wasting valuable resources on the rabbit hole of electrification. Neglect, weak development teams, stagnant styling personnel and leadership out of touch and indifferent. So no panic, just a wake up call that things are going down hill in a barrel and even guys like me know it. Red Button anyone?

The sales numbers don’t support your argument. Americans are leaving big heavy HEMI gas guzzlers on dealer lots — where the supply is over a year at current sales numbers for vehicles like the LX body Dodges.

Meanwhile, Tesla is posting strong sales growth and knocked former Chrysler into fourth place among U.S. auto manufacturers, as it continues to post strong sales growth.

Stellantis will only have a bright future if it can put together and sell the EVs that Americans are buying in record numbers, with quality construction and at a competitive price.

More money poured down the rat hole of fossil fuels will just leave Stellantis in the same situation Chrysler was at in the 70s.

45% percent of the buying public is in CARB states so you will need something to sell to them. Volume Metric is dead though, people pointing to that are still in the old think. More about total profits. Given interest rates jump, and inflationary pressures with fuel, food, and Housing.... which in the end is exempt from the published calculations but really the only thing that matters. I expect an industry downtown.

Since FCA and yes the NA legal entity is still FCA.... is in the midst of a Capacity reorganization..... unlike Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, and Korea INC they do not need to erode margins to support capacity to cover overhead. They are in the exact opposite position.

I would put a marketing campaign to support the stable capacities Wrangler, Wagoneer, JGC, and maybe RAM (but that is also in a Major model year transition) with interest rate support.... beyond that tighten the belts and ride it out. But now running volume at the expense of margins is backassward, let Kia trade steel for dollars.

Absolutely no reason to talk about the LBs while LXs are still on lots just keep your powder dry.

Honest to god, do you think the Oceans of hydrocarbons, are from fossils on Titan? It's not 1700s most oil doesn't come from whales, and despite picking up organic marker on it trip to surface the math doesn't work out especially for Methane., so that old term is only to create the idea of scarcity. The only Scarcity is artificial market control. Say it together HYDROCARBONS.

Rare earth metals now those are actually scarce, you know RARE. But never mind that, Silicon batteries are on the way, along with fusion.... innnnnnnn 20 to 30 years.
