Caught the Bug
Not sure if anyone is following:
I am not a youtuber or anyone that has an ear or insight to anything they (Stellantis) are doing but i don't know anyone who has went to them and said "Hey it would really be cool if you made these EV chargers... and made Jeep's EV's as well).. oh and by the way you only need 1 car to sell with a chrysler badge and 1 car with a dodge badge". I am not saying they are making absolute Junk products but they are sure as shit pricing everything out of market and by far most CDJR dealers I've dealt with were the worst of the worst dealers from any brand i've ever dealt with (Switch and bait website pricing etc). Do they care at all about their brands ? Almost seems like thy are becoming the automotive equivalent to Boeing.
It seems to me like even a fresh out of college MBA wouldn't be making these dumb decisions.
- They laid off a ton of engineers the other day.
- They are doubling down on EV's even after the negative charger EV release (almost no one wants one).
- Dodge hornet is the slowest selling vehicle in the country.
- Bring Jeep Upmarket deal is failing... less and less people want to spend over 60k on a Jeep. I've now seen new 2024 JTR's selling for high 40s... still a ton of 2023 Gladiators on lots.
- Even with RAM - still a ton of inventory and massive discounts as well as MSRP price adjustments (lower stickers which needed to happen) across the board.
- Now the hellcats and scat pack 392 charger/challengers are being discounted at dealers after they were trying to mark them up to the sky. (really tempted to pick a 392 widebody up).
- The only chrysler product availabile is a minivan
- The only new dodge product available now is the Hornet (again that nobody wants).
