Stellantis is PURPOSELY holding back the 2025 Charger. What These Endless Delays Mean!

  • A while back I had some interesting conversations with high-ranking people that worked for Stellantis in regard to why the new Charger Six Pack was delayed until the middle of 2025. The Charger Daytona EV was already supposed to have been released; however, it continues to be delayed. I shed some light into the real reason that the Six Pack car continues to be pushed off.

    If they really wanted to make a Dodge EV, they should have called it the Shadow or Stealth and sell it along side a next gen muscle with a normal V8. Not market it as a replacement to the V8.

      GM and Ford were working steadily on replacements for their tried n true V8s while FCA (under Sergio Marchionne) diverted funds to Alfa Romeo (USA reboot x 2) and a lesser degree Maserati to make them global players (failures) so Chrysler (the first sacrificial lamb) got nothing and Dodge got the upgraded old HEMIs; these cars were promised updates (trickle down Maserati to Chrysler/Dodge) twice with no delivery. So, the whole thing was to prep for this unnecessary merger; the third of its kind in under 30 years and all for the cash flow that the domestics have a rep for producing! The new owners have failed in the past and will continue to fail because they are so damn egocentric and can't be told anything. They dont know our market, and they don't [care]. Trust me on this. Sad...

    • @sexyitalian891
      @sexyitalian891 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      TBH I think partially the issue for me is the performance just isn't there. Like, don't get me wrong, I know there's more to cars than just pure speed, the Challengers and Chargers can't be beat for their muscle car look/feel. But the performance is seriously lacking. Even a Scatpack gets beat pretty easily by cars that shouldn't, due to traction issues etc, and its just a fucking pig of a car, so damn heavy.
      So its in this weird place where the car doesn't have enough traction to get its power down, when there's enough power to counter the weight, but also the power doesn't go very far even when you take traction out of the equation because its just so damn heavy. It can launch well on the drag strip but teeters off quickly because once its initial burst is done, a similar power car that also gets its power down will eat it for breakfast.
      I wish they could remove 500lbs from the cars, and somehow have more room for wider tires. Minimum of 275's on RT's, 305's on scatpacks, and 345's on hellcats. Big sticky ass tires as wide as the Viper's. Make sure the car can hook and do at least low 12's on the street for scatpacks, with mid 11's on the street on the stickiest street tire option being the goal for hellcats. At least then it could reliably compete with its competition.
      But yeah, saying fuck weight and just going the electric route does get rid of some of the performance only issues at least in a straight line, but also kinda takes away the soul. its a nice looking vehicle that's missing its heart.

    Worked for them for 5 years as an electrician. Started in 2019 when it was still FCA, until this past July when I finally had enough of their BS and frankly got tired of working with lazy MFers. Oh yes it is true folks, don't kid yourself. Why do people not understand or remember why and how Stellantis was formed??? FCA didn't have any EV platforms developing when GM and Ford were entering that segment. When Marchionne died, there was a whole lotta concern about where the company was headed. They went to Renault to form a partnership and Renault laughed them out of the building. Peugeot come along and they saw the fat profits the vehicles were making and jumped at it. Problem was they bit off more than they can chew. This is what happens when you're late to the party on R and D. Autoworkers have no idea how pivotal this election is to their livelihood. The UAW has been told 3 years ago that EVs won't need as many workers to build them, and guess what??? It's already happening folks. I went to GM in September. The line I now run has ZERO production operators on it. Every single component of the body section my line builds is loaded by forktruck into dunnage ULs (unloads) then a robot picks from there and the process continues. I even have automated forktrucks that load certain ULs, so more jobs gone. Anyone paying attention to the Fairfax layoffs??? They're doing that because the plant is being retooled for an EV. Apparently over 200 workers will be permanently laid off once it starts back up. While Tavares does deserve a lot of blame, FCA prior to joining with Peugeot also deserves a healthy amount of the blame.

      Marchionne chose not to invest in EVs because how many times do you need to reinvent the wheel? He's the guy who placed enthusiasts like Tim Kuniskis, Ralph Gilles, and others in charge of product development. Those people brought us the products that revived interest in Mopars. The loss of Marchionne was devastating.
      The plan was always to find a partner that already had the expertise in building EVs. They found one in Peugeot, and Stellantis was created. A partnership with Renault wasn't viable because it's basically owned by the French government, and it would have operated as a French company.
      As it turns out, Peugeot ended up dominating the company, and wouldn't you know it, it's running it like a French company. They don't have a clue about the American market, and so the American side is being hammered.
      No, FCA isn't responsible. It revived Dodge, and made Ram and Jeep way better. The management that took over created this mess with poor planning that called for huge investment over a short period, and they banked on making obscene profits on existing products to pay for it. They miscalculated because they're stupid.
      I know some shit because I was an executive there and saw how things were done. There were only a few who cared about cars and trucks, and most were penny pinchers and chart watchers. I left before the merger with Fiat so I missed the fun. The people that stayed did a great job.

But to think that over 8 BILLION people aren't pushing the planet to the brink of its abilities to 'absorb' our abuses, is either ignorance or being delusional. Will electric vehicles fix everything, no. But it's a step in the right direction - and yes, it pains me to acknowledge this fact, but it's the truth. Electricity can be made from renewables. Oil is just oil and it's far from clean. As for vehicles, tires are another ugly subject no one wants to talk about - the disposal and the toxic compounds used to make them. So bottom line here - their are some politicians trying to move us in the right direction and others ones who tell us it's a big conspiracy to take away our 'fun cards'.

    I saw a Daytona on my local freeway yesterday. It was in the far right lane going exactly the speed limit, I assume it was in testing as it was fully occupied. It was silver, had black badging with a bold DAYTONA on the dumper. It didn't make a sound, so I assume it was an ev and not an i6. Also the ev "gas pedal" is called the accelerator in the industry I'm primarily exposed to.

    What's keeping me away from even wanting one no matter what engine (V8, I6, or EV) they put in it is the fact that these new Chargers are heavier, wider, and longer than the outgoing model. Even if the base model ICE I6 version was 38k I wouldn't want one simply because of the size, they went from land Yachts to land cruise ships.
