This is why I can't talk about it anymore. They picked such a stupid direction when other options are available
Yeah, it’s tough not to get emotional and make it a crying session vice an informative and thought provoking video 😂
Charging more for stage packages the following year to get the same hp is Ludacris. Seems like Stellantis is just trying to boost them initial sells.
I know right! Not sure what Stellantis is doing but it's not good for the American market. 💪
@ModernRedHemi like I said a few weeks ago Don never trust ppl who eat Stargazy pie. 😂😂😂
Dodge has the chance to make this car match its predecessors, which is what pretty much everybody wants, they just have to do it, simple as that. Add the option of a V8 and a supercharged version, make RWD standard and AWD optional and add the option of a conventional trunk in the rear. After all, the previous Charger was literally outselling every other American sedan combined, which means it was the perfect option over other American sedans. I suspect it’s because it was full-size, RWD and had a V8, just like almost all other American sedans until the 1980s. Also, the supercharger was popular for muscle car enthusiasts who may have wanted room for the family (due to it being a 4-door). And speaking of the trunk, I’m not saying a hatchback is not good, but it means its body style doesn’t match that of its predecessor. However, Dodge could modify the rear trunk frame by installing a fixed window, rear interior trunk panels and a conventional trunk. Having more options, especially including traditional ones, will increase the popularity of the car. Dodge is trying to stay away from new V8s, seemingly unaware that it’s decreasing the popularity of their cars, even if the I6 and electric motors are faster. It’s not the EPA’s fault, which is proven by the fact that the upcoming street-legal Ford Mustang GTD comes standard with a supercharged V8. This car has already received too much criticism ever since its official reveal, due to the lack of the same powertrain and drivetrain as its predecessors, which proves it needs to have these options. It wouldn’t be the same unless Dodge changes their mind.
Well said brother! All great points! 💪
@@ModernRedHemiThis was such an unusually long comment, but it explains what this car needs in detail and why, according to fans. After all, manufacturers have to offer what their customers are demanding, since they’re the ones who will be buying from and paying them. That’s how they remain profitable. If they don’t, they’ll go bankrupt.
@@ModernRedHemi Also, I forgot to mention that many American cars until the 1980s had I6 and V8 engine options. However, the I6 was no faster than the V8 and was thus more of an entry-level option, much like the V6 in the previous Charger and Challenger. So Dodge could make a Hurricane V8 as well as a supercharged one. Those could become popular, performance-oriented options for this car.
The original 1320 concept car, was a 426 aluminum block. Why couldn't Dodge have mass produced it? Would've knocked the socks off the competition..
Everyone has been waiting for the return of the 426 for way too long but don't think it's going to make it. It would've been nice to see though. 💪
It is going to be hard to justify v8 when even F1 is talking about going from 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder.
Im not doing it until I'm forced to do it.
Great point. Everything is going smaller ICE or straight EV. 😉
I'll add this in case you didn't catch the story about Apple dumping the R&D on an EV after ten years and ten billion dollars. They have plenty of money but realize this is a bad idea. Maybe Stellantis is smarter than people are giving them credit for.
We will see. 😉
The engineers could build whatever they want but it's stellantis that's killing the brand....they could of easily kept the hemi..just like you said about ford and chevy.....I think things will be different when the time will come.
Yes sir! Just my opinion and speculation, but I think Tim K. has something up his sleeve for the return of a V8. No insight or facts to back that up, just my own speculation. 😉
I haven't seen any EV's on any Dodge lots near here and a really big dealer is in the next county. I think they delayed EV production on purpose. Check out the Felicity Ace and Fremantle Highway.
Old news about charging problems. Take a look at the movie Soylent Green.
Yup.
5830 Pounds.
There ya go. Another boat coming out of the factory! 😂
The whole advantage Tesla has is the charge network and my plaid is crazy but the challenger is setting out in the parking lot at work today.. best thing ppl can do is wait to see how it all shakes out and wait on buying one until we see how they deal with charging and the actual performance of the new EV
Yeah, that's one of the big drawbacks on the Dodge EV. Charging. Just my opinion and speculation, but I think Tim K. has something up his sleeve for the return of a V8. No insight or facts to back that up, just my own speculation. 😉
Why did ou mentioned the EPA...
Don't want to get into the political debate at all.
I think dodge would love to set money aside to make better V8 cars, I think the problem is they're owned by Europeans and their market is completely different on the other side of the world.
I agree with ya 100%. The Europeans have no clue of the American market to be able to survive. 😉
@ModernRedHemi Yeah, and to see a V8 charger/jeep/challenger/ram in a European country is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Yeah they're are a few over there but they're gems to see on their roads.
Dodge Charger EV isn't that dissimilar from my 2024 Cadillac Lyriq. Both have a 100 kWh battery. Both weigh 5800 pounds. Both make synthesized noise (by law).
I think the part of EV ownership that is going to piss people off or keep them from buying is the current state of public charging network. Unless you only charge at home or have access to Tesla's public chargers, the infrastructure will be a disappointment.
Yeah, charging is a HUGE issue with all EV's at this point. Our electric infrastructure isn't ready for mass electric vehicles yet. 💪
Apparently the hemi will bolt in at the same points in the new chargers.. 🤫🤫
Will be interesting to see who does it and how easy it is. 💪
Wouldn't matter to me if the EV had 5000 HP. Any kind of EV is a no-go for me. IMO, Dodge has really screwed the pooch.
Agree brother. Agree💪
I'm with you on not being a Dodge Hater. I'm infatuated with MOPAR! But it's extremely disappointing and discouraging the way things are headed. Even my wife, an English woman, and a Challenger driver, cannot believe how European America is becoming with our automobiles. We have 4 Dodge / Jeep / RAM vehicles between us, and as it stands right now, all of our future MOPARs will probably be newer used fossil fuel versions of what we already own. Nothing new from CDJR is even remotely captivating to us. How sad is THAT?
I agree brother. 100%. Just my opinion and speculation, but I think Tim K. has something up his sleeve for the return of a V8. No insight or facts to back that up, just my own speculation. 😉
@ModernRedHemi Ol' Timmy K. needs to be careful, though. Even diehard MOPAR guys that just spent $50K-$100K over book for these "Last Call" options will be pissed off enough to swap brands if they feel that they were lied to or swindled. I almost feel they'd wait a couple of years before moving forward on a HEMI or another V8 just so they could blame the market, or the current administration, and come back as our ICE Horsepower Saviors! It's going to get "interesting," to say the least!
First of all, who is going to buy that EV Charger? They could have taken a cue from custom shops who designed panels for new Challengers and made them look like 69 Chargers. They could have used the same platform which is very successful and they would have sold a ton of them. As an owner or several 69 Chargers that new thing will not grow on me.
Yeah, they could've gave it a more throw back look to at least try and entice people to buy it. Not sure what they are thinking. 😉
Not digging the evs no matter the brand....i would rather buy a toyota if trying to save on gas...
Love the great content, keep it up..✌️
Honestly, me either but they are still coming. Agree with buying a gas powered car, no matter the manufacturer. More content coming for sure! 💪
There is no comparison for the Tesla vs Charger as far as look and excitement. The Tesla is boring 4 dr sedan looks a a toy car with quality issues the charger is sleek beautiful interior and performance
I do like Dodge's interior but I think the performance is a bit lacking. Agree with the Tesla comparison! 💪
Agreed. IMO, Teslas are just plain ugly. Looks just like any other boring car on the road. I don't really like the look of this new Charger, but it is miles above any Tesla I've ever seen in looks. Perhaps if Tesla hired designers with some sort of taste in auto looks, it would be different. But as it is, Teslas are just another dumpy looking grandpa 4-door. I'd rather drive an old Ford Fiesta.
With all due respect everyone of the ppl that you talk about making videos is biased. Why don't you watch someone that knows EV's like Out of Spec. Also Rivian can charge on the Tesla network.
Yeah, I just heard about Rivian getting an adapter for the Tesla network but there are many other EVs out there that don't. I do admit, we are a bit biased but IMO, if the numbers, specifically times, were better than what we already have then I would consider looking into one. Adding over 150HP and running the same times just doesn't cut it. 😉
Tesla - ugly car. I know people who have driven them and they were not impressed. 2025 things are going to be a lot different. My 5.7 does 0-60 in 4.7, no modifications, stock. I've done 13 quarter mile times in that care with over 100K on it.
Facts! 💪
For Dodge to develop a V8 makes no sense. First, there is the research and development. There is also designing the engine to meet EPA emissions and fuel economy standards. There is also the cost of marketing. Most Challenger and Chargers sold today aren't Hemis. They are 6 cylinders. The market for performance V8s is relatively small. Part of the problem Dodge would have trying to sell V8s is that emission standards would be harder and harder to meet over time. With the government placing their fingers on the scale, the market for V8 cars will get smaller and smaller. It isn't profitable for Stellantis to make cars with V8s. If Ford can sell V8 Mustangs, why doesn't Stellantis do it? Ford is using an engine that has been inexistence for 15 years. The engine has been modernized. However, the design is basically the same.
The Hurricane is a far better way to go than manufacturing the Hemi. It is much easier to meet emission and fuel economy standards because it has a smaller displacement. The Hurricane also has the advantage of having an OHV design. Stellantis is a European organization. They've been producing small displacement, turbo cars for years. You can also take that engine, reduce the displacement even more, and make it a hybrid. My favorite is a V6 doesn't sound like a V8. Who the fork cares? You go for the look. Turbo cars with small displacement engines will put 90% of the R/Ts in the rear-view mirror. From the factory, my SHO was a high 13 second car. My car now runs 12.2s and 12.3s. Do you know how much it cost me? It only cost me $2,000. What do you get if you invest in an R/T. You get wheels and tires, an unlocked PCM, and maybe a canned tune. Look on the bright side. If all you have is $2K invested in mods, you get to do one-wheel peels. Don, let me know if you decide to do your talk show. I will gladly explain the advantages that a small displacement turbo engine has over many V8s
When it comes to the future of the EV, who knows? Much of what is being said is being driven by politics. What I believe is that the government will back off on the EV mandates for 2 reasons. The first is that the infrastructure isn't there yet. Secondly, people don't want to buy them. Only 7.8% of cars sold last year were EVs. Tesla has over half the market. With China looking to establish EV plants in Mexico, Ford, GM, and Stellantis would probably shut down most if not all of their operations in the US within 10 years if the government pushes EV mandates as aggressively as they are right now.
You pose some great arguments and points. Really give everyone something to really think about. You definitely have me thinking... 😉
_"It isn't profitable for Stellantis to make cars with V8s. If Ford can sell V8 Mustangs, why doesn't Stellantis do it?"_ . So if it's profitable for Ford to make V8s, why wouldn't it be for Stellantis? And, Dodge experienced a huge amount of success bringing back the Challenger V8. It wasn't necessarily the V6 that stirred excitement. By the way, I recently bought a Dodge Challenger from a Ford dealership. They randomly mentioned that the Mustang Mach E is "absolutely not selling at all." Those were his exact words. I don't mind EV cars, I just don't think it should be forced down our throats.
@@user-nw6sf1bx4y - The cost of designing a new engine is astronomical. There is research and development. There is testing the design to make sure the engine is reliable and meets government standards for emissions. There is the cost of tooling for a new engine design. Ford is using an engine design that is 15 years old. Ford doesn't have all of those expenses. The market for V8s is small and will continue to shrink as government mandates make the engine too costly to produce. Any corporation wants to make a profit. If it were profitable Stellantis would make cars with V8s.
@@user-nw6sf1bx4y - Ford is using a 15 year old design for their V8s. Stellantis would have to design, test, market, and set up tooling for a new engine. It is expensive to develop an engine that will meet EPA standards. As the regulations for emissions become more strict over time, the market for V8s will continue to shrink. Turbo 6s are a far better option for a high-performance engine. Stellantis is a European car company. They have been making small displacement turbo engines for decades. The Hurricane was relatively inexpensive to develop because they can use a design that was borrowed from one of their other car models. Turbo 6s are highly tunable and cheaper to mod.
@@hu3.789 well, anything with a turbo can be modded simply by adding a bigger turbo, to include a V8. I don't know if a turbo V6 is a "far better option" though. That might be a bit of an exaggeration. And those engines aren't as fuel efficient as they pretend, as compared to some V8's. The Coyote engine, is extremely modible, gets decent gas mileage, and will blow the doors off pretty much anything on the market. The Dodge V8's are decent too. For example, a 1320 6.4 car will run mid-11's, and is capable of getting 28MPG on long road trips. That's hard to beat, even with the BMW Twin- charged 6 cylinder, etc. And BTW, the BMW 3.0 Twin Charged system, isn't really that much more fuel efficient than any of Dodge's V8"s. We have to speak in real world numbers here.
Dodge didn’t do it because they are owned by Stellantis and they are a European company that likes small cars and small engines. Dodge will be gone in 3 years.
Yeah, I talked about Dodge going out of business in the next 3-5 years if things don't change. 💪
Garbage EV
Not 100% sure garbage but Dodge could've done better with the numbers to try and make them more attractive. Bigger HP numbers but same performance isn't cutting it. 💪
