$35k to $40k is unrealistic in today’s economy for a big awd sedan with almost 500hp. I bought my wife a Camry this summer and we had to shop around to get a Camry under $30k. Civics over $30k were the norm (and we live in the Great Lakes rust belt, not California or Miami).

This is a perfect, real-world example of how truly lost Stellantis is. From the ridiculous fake noise, to the weak overall design (interior and exterior), anemic performance and range, laggy electronics, and cheap materials, this thing has FAIL written all over it.

Whether you like or dislike Tesla, with the exception of the absolute train wreck that is the Cybertruck, they've nailed what an EV needs to be. There's a reason the Model Y is the best selling car on the planet. That was the bar...Dodge missed it by a mile.
This is a very fine looking car, better imho than the last gen Challenger (Charger was ugly). The rear and front are thankfully sloped and lower vs bus like. I think their focus on power, comfort and cruising is on brand. Its just too expensive and being electric doesnt have that easy cross country capability
Does NOT qualify for Federal credit (but I could be wrong). Not that it will exist next year anyway, but there is a 55K limit which the base model starts above that threshold. Unless Dodge will claim its a SUV, which......they might try.
Leased vehicles bypass the price ceiling. So the IQ test for buyers in the dealer ship will be “are you paying cash, financing, or leasing?” There’s only one right answer to that question.
First generation it’s great. Has more character than a Tesla. Nice that it doesn’t have a iPad monitor bolted to the dashboard like a Tesla sticking up .

@@tinshield Yep, who would have guessed that auto assembly companies would struggle with software 🤷 Good thing their entire future isn't riding on them getting it right 😬
You're right because it's their first one they should have prices around 40k so what they did was just kill the model before it even started because they needed to undercut the gas version to try to move people over to electric once they had moved over they can then raise that price that they wanted
Right now Tesla has free supercharging if you buy a Model S. That's a KILLER deal. You basically drive the car for free. Tesla's supercharger network is SECOND TO NONE. The easiest to use, the most ubiquitous and the most mature. The Charger EV is a pretentious EV. It's the size of an S-class because it shares the coupe body with a 4 door variant. The Dodge buyer DOES NOT WANT THIS.
As someone who hates gas Chargers, I would very much love to try this. The price is way too high and you need at least 300mi on the lowest trim. This one doesn't even have NACS. This first version missed the mark, just like the VW ID Buzz, but I'm excited to see where this goes. I understand the gas lovers are going to hate this, but they hate everything electric, oh well, the future is coming. Get over it.
Love your videos. For a daily w/track capability and size, give me a the Hyundai I5N all day everyday. Glad they attempted this, as you said… give ‘em another half decade on software, etc.
I would love to have an air powered exhaust -- if I can turn it off. It’s nice for a few minutes and sometimes I miss that, but 99% of the time I prefer the silent running of my EV.
Am I the only one that is not willing to put money on an EV because of the charge times and range limits? My prius can go 450 miles and fill the tank in 3 or so minutes and I get my pick of hundreds of gas stations on any given road trip, that may not be required for every use case but I need that to happen at least a few times per year and my driveway has exactly two cars in it, a minivan and a prius. I may get an EV as toy someday but not as a real family car and the money I have for toys is quite limited right now.
Stellantis calling this car a Dodge Charger Daytona is as dishonest as Ford calling their crossover a Mustang Mach-E. Words don't mean anything anymore. 😢
If American traditional automakers need half a decade or more to very substantially improve their products, just plan on all of the vehicles sold in the U.S. being Toyotas or Chinese.
I like it but I also like the new Z and I have seen zero of Z on the road because of the price and dealer markups. I think it will be the same for this Charger a year from now most of us won’t have seen one in the flesh.
Man, at 70K price point, there are now so many great option out there ! I would look into Polestars as well. Polestar 2 would be close to compare to this.
I hope everyone buys one of these. Then teslas will have a new group to race at lights for a couple months until they wont make eye contact with you anymore. Do they have sound effects for it losing a rod.
This new 2024 Dodge Charger EV car is DOA already !! And EV'S are not muscle cars period !! Plus people come to Dodge for the Hemi V8 engines ,and even when they do come out with the TT Hurricane 6CYI engines in this car !! People are going to still want the option of a V8 engine too !!!
$70,000 for the Food Stamp version of the Charger. The cheapskate edition. For the Scat Pack, add an additional $15k. And no more range than my 1985 Chrysler Lebaron with a 13-gallon fuel tank. Supposedly, people are lining around the corner with deposits to be the first ones on the block to be seen driving one. And dealerships are tacking on humongous markups for that very reason. 😅😅😂
@@DFWsCars I basically don’t want my money to support something I’m against I’m against fake ice noises so I’ll vote with my money and not buy it due to that feature
Im really liking everything about it but the price. Im still glad i purchased my tesla m3p with the tax credit. No better performance bargain. If the charger was the same price i might consider it in a few years.
I make well over six figures and I can't afford to get one of these. Gently used Mustangs, Camaros, chargers and challengers can be had for half of what this costs and they aren't necessarily disposable. I don't see people who want a muscle car even considering this.... and I honestly don't see hard core ev buyers going for it either.. I guess 😂😂😂. Why can't they build a lighter, smaller, faster EV muscle car and charge half the price? We are now buying cars for 70 thousand dollars. I honestly don't think I can ever do that unless it's a really high end piece, not just a whatever this is.. Scattered Pack. I think it looks good, I want to see what the ice cars wind up being, IDK man.
I get that Stellantis is trying to keep up with the electric market, but this is a miss. That price range for a 2 door car built by one of the most unreliable mfgs is not going to convince many people to pull the trigger.
Vape stores are gonna make a killing once they start adding those fake exhaust pipes. Can’t wait to get one and make my car exhaust smell like Peppermint Power. All the cool kids at the track will be SO jealous.
After hearing the insane price of $70,000 for Dodge charger electric car is beyond the pale. You would think those guys would go out and buy a Tesla take it to the factory have their engineers drive it and then try to copy at least one thing from the TESLA. If the car leases for $100 a month that might be a different story. But I don't think anybody in their right mind would even buy a $40,000 model leave alone 70. What were they thinking?
Personally, I love the looks of this car, but I will never get a 2-door car ever again (inconvenient and uncomfortable for rear seat occupants). I don’t like how much hard cheap plastics are on the inside for $70K. I also hate the fake sounds. Even worse, the speakers are on the outside, which will create terrible noise pollution!
Schizophrenic exhaust is a perfect name! The audio cuts out on the exhaust i've noticed it sounds horrible and garbled. So yeah perfect name for the exhaust.
The first charger/ challenger that will never be stolen

Great review, yall. I agree - this one is for Mopar people. Hope they try it.
Omfg, it's ICE ready!
sitting on ICE!
I like it but I also like the new Z and I have seen zero of Z on the road because of the price and dealer markups. I think it will be the same for this Charger a year from now most of us won’t have seen one in the flesh.
Man, at 70K price point, there are now so many great option out there !
I would look into Polestars as well. Polestar 2 would be close to compare to this.
I wonder if this would be as good as a Lucid Air. I think I like both cars.
Can you turn off the fake exhaust? Otherwise I’d wait until they a discounted 50% and might consider it
Yea you can
Three people in the second row would not be comfortable with no foot room for the person sitting in the center spot.
This car is made in Canada so Trump will add 25% extra tax for the American buyers
100 grand for a Dodge ?
Way better looking than any Tesla
I hope everyone buys one of these. Then teslas will have a new group to race at lights for a couple months until they wont make eye contact with you anymore.
Do they have sound effects for it losing a rod.
This new 2024 Dodge Charger EV car is DOA already !! And EV'S are not muscle cars period !! Plus people come to Dodge for the Hemi V8 engines ,and even when they do come out with the TT Hurricane 6CYI engines in this car !! People are going to still want the option of a V8 engine too !!!
$70,000 for the Food Stamp version of the Charger. The cheapskate edition. For the Scat Pack, add an additional $15k. And no more range than my 1985 Chrysler Lebaron with a 13-gallon fuel tank. Supposedly, people are lining around the corner with deposits to be the first ones on the block to be seen driving one. And dealerships are tacking on humongous markups for that very reason. 😅😅😂
SOUNDS FAKE....HARD PASS
0:13 That red one looks good.
They had one chance to eliminate understeer and they blew it. What's the point really
Eve with fake ice noises is a hard pass to me. Ev silence is golden.
You can disable it- & it’s a very quiet car
@@DFWsCars having the option to make noise hurts my intelligence. I’m so against it I’m biased. Noise is noise.
@@DFWsCars I basically don’t want my money to support something I’m against I’m against fake ice noises so I’ll vote with my money and not buy it due to that feature
An EV that looks good. I like that. I don't like the MSRP.
They just need to pipe in & amplify the natural electric motor sound.
Im really liking everything about it but the price. Im still glad i purchased my tesla m3p with the tax credit. No better performance bargain. If the charger was the same price i might consider it in a few years.
People that are hating on it are the same people who can’t afford it.
People who can afford it will be cross shopping it against mustangs corvettes and plaids. It's a tough sell.
I agree
@@mister-amazing it’s not a tough sell at all.
I can afford 2, wouldn’t take one if you gave it to me. 👎🏻👎🏻
@ lies
Way different take than Kyle Conner, I agree tho this is first Stellantis car I’ve been interested in
I make well over six figures and I can't afford to get one of these. Gently used Mustangs, Camaros, chargers and challengers can be had for half of what this costs and they aren't necessarily disposable. I don't see people who want a muscle car even considering this.... and I honestly don't see hard core ev buyers going for it either.. I guess 😂😂😂. Why can't they build a lighter, smaller, faster EV muscle car and charge half the price? We are now buying cars for 70 thousand dollars. I honestly don't think I can ever do that unless it's a really high end piece, not just a whatever this is.. Scattered Pack. I think it looks good, I want to see what the ice cars wind up being, IDK man.
I get that Stellantis is trying to keep up with the electric market, but this is a miss. That price range for a 2 door car built by one of the most unreliable mfgs is not going to convince many people to pull the trigger.
Vape stores are gonna make a killing once they start adding those fake exhaust pipes. Can’t wait to get one and make my car exhaust smell like Peppermint Power. All the cool kids at the track will be SO jealous.
Nice looking Car !
I'd like to see it going on snow roads in -40 Celsius
The car no one wants at a price no one can afford from a company who can't make reliable electronics
I would take the ice version
After hearing the insane price of $70,000 for Dodge charger electric car is beyond the pale. You would think those guys would go out and buy a Tesla take it to the factory have their engineers drive it and then try to copy at least one thing from the TESLA. If the car leases for $100 a month that might be a different story. But I don't think anybody in their right mind would even buy a $40,000 model leave alone 70. What were they thinking?
I like it.
Personally, I love the looks of this car, but I will never get a 2-door car ever again (inconvenient and uncomfortable for rear seat occupants). I don’t like how much hard cheap plastics are on the inside for $70K. I also hate the fake sounds. Even worse, the speakers are on the outside, which will create terrible noise pollution!
6:37 What is the "Emergency Call Error" about? Just more buggy Stellantis junk?
I'm pretty sure I was holding the call button on the wheel while going around the turn
I’m so confused on why the camera is swaying…..
I'll order my Gimmick Mobile with the Lame-O-Matic transmission/speaker package that Stellantis internally calls the Poser Pak!
Schizophrenic exhaust is a perfect name! The audio cuts out on the exhaust i've noticed it sounds horrible and garbled. So yeah perfect name for the exhaust.
Gorgeous
Im excited to see what they come up with in 5 years from now as learn evs
The price and stealer markups will doom sales! It is a great looking car.. I saw one at the Miami auto show earlier this year 😊
loll daddy's ignited with that bearded musk
You can get a plaid with the brakes suitable for a civic
My brother has a Dodge Charger Hemi. I want to buy this Daytona and smoke him.
