      Because Ford's fleet mpg is a hell of a lot higher than Dodge because of Ford's EVs, hybrids and Ecoboost vehicles. A year later and Stellantis is just launching their fuel efficient vehicles. Dodge has a single focus that's only performance focused while other automotive manufacturers build versatile vehicles that families want to buy. Ford isn't counting on the Mustang to carry the Ford Brand. It's their hallo car but their profits come from the F series pickup trucks and their SUVs. Currently. Stellantis doesn't have a vehicle that people purchase in large numbers. Performance is fun, but you can't build a company like Stellantis on just performance. The Hemi is no longer so move on with a newly redesigned lineup. If you remember the K-Car. It was a very basic car. Far from performance but it kept Chrysler from filing bankruptcy because people purchased the car because of its pricing and value while still being profitable to Chrysler

    I wish RacerX would ask questions that make real Mopar fans smile. Like if not the Hemi how about the 318, 360, 383, 400, or 440 V8’s making a comeback? Why is this CEO not looking to the past for true inspiration for the future. The Dodge Polara, Monaco, and Coronet nameplates were the full-size luxury and/or and the Police cruiser. Leave the 2 door models for performance models. How about producing more models like the A-Body, B-Body, C-Body, and E-Body variants to appeal to more people and their interests.

      All new EV batteries have to be warrantied for a minimum of 8 years! In general they last much longer than that. Anymore the cost of replacement engines is as much or more than replacing a battery pack. Also in the not so distant future battery pack issues will be a lot easier and less expensive to repair.

    Appreciate the interview, X. But sadly, nothing in it gives me any hope for the future. That's not your fault, or the Dodge CEO's fault. The blame is squarely on Carlos Tavares. He's destroyed this brand. And hearing Matt repeat the tagline that Tim first said while trying to sell the idea of the EV - "looks like a dodge, drives like a dodge and sounds like a dodge" was pretty disheartening. It may "look/drive/sound" like a Dodge, but it isn't. A Dodge in name only, without a V8 option. They could give us that option. But Carlos Tavares, terrible CEO that he is, just won't "allow" it. There's no excuse for any of this. It's just sad. I would've welcomed an EV option being offered, for those that might want it. But, this trajectory? Nope.

    This truly is sad I own 4 dodge/ram trucks one R/T challenger and a 1320. My dad has a hellcat challenger and a redeye challenger, it all started with a factory 70 dodge dart 340 swinger. Unfortunately my family will not be buying dodge or rams in the future. O almost forgot about my mom's charger 😂 . We are sticking to what we have and as far as my business trucks go ill be switching brands. It's really been fun dodge hate to see you go!

    Dodge are missing the fact that there isn’t any modifications you can do as a gear head to significantly increase the horsepower. Look I’m a Tesla Model 3 Performance owner and I love my car but I got into it knowing full well that aside from weight reductions, the performance can’t be improved. I’m ok with that, but it isn’t a weekend type car it’s a jack of all trades master of none. Muscle cars and weekend cars are meant to be modified. The adoption of these new vehicles will be very low and could end up being the death of the company. IMO this new Charger will be the Bud Light of cars.

    Congratulations Dodge, you found your "YES Man". No personal issues with the new CEO (he just doing his job).
    They should have gone the hybrid V8 route first. Then add those other options later. I still don't understand how they expect to be successful if people don't buy these new cars. Consumers aren't happy with the brand and they expect 'magically' these new products (which we never asked for) are gonna smooth the situation over? Nah bruh Lol!
    Good interview RacerX from your end. You played "the game" as expected and you have to keep interviews PC and positive. #IGetIt
    Sales determine everything...and unfortunately based on how the HQ is performing, layoffs, stocks, leadership changes, pricing, quality etc...I'm not seeing the brand getting sufficient sales with the upcoming EV and six-pack offerings. These are not the "silver-bullets" that will save the brand. 😢

    I am done with Dodge. I have been a huge fan and raced a 71 roadrunner but the direction they are going is bankruptcy. They don’t have a clue, they are four years or more behind other manufacturers to bring out an electric model and it will fall flat on its face. It cannot beat the least expensive Tesla, and Dodge says it’s a muscle car. It’s also 30k more than the least expensive Tesla. Then they want an extra 5k for a “frunk”. For other vehicles it’s free. They lost me without the V8.

    What makes no sense is that Ford and GM are able to continue building V8 cars. While Dodge has been forced to stop. Hearing an exhaust note through a speaker is an insult! The Customers tell the manufacturers what they want by what they purchase. If sales are dismal and we all hold onto our current Hemi’s how long will they try to force something performance enthusiasts don’t want? You did a good job. For you to gain access to these folks you have to be professional.
