The US does not have the infrastucture for the electric market
True and apparently people don’t want to pay for these combustion engines
THANK YOU!!!!! I said this when they said they want all EV by 2030 It's not gonna work
Nobody does
Nowhere in the world can support full electrification and they know it. Another attempt to control the masses, that's all.
@@diegoharo7943no, people want to pay for ICE vehicles. What they don’t want is to pay these inflated prices.
From a Californian - you're right. It's asinine what our politicians are doing out here.
This is not about the environment at all
@@user-ye8jj4zw1yWell that and they top out at dirt $&it.
Never was. $$$$$. Always.
Yup, it's all about Al Gore and all his deep pockets buddies milking our citizens pockets
I figured they were in trouble after Stellantis laid off 400 engineering employees Friday. Sad. Here we go.
Fake news Chrysler never had engineers no one can build that bad by planning a vehicle
When Siemens took over our part of Westinghouse the first thing they did was to fire the engineers, salesforce, and the group that refurbished circuit breakers. Then they sold off the calibration laboratory. Then they told us that they would not be upgrading our calibration equipment to the new ISO standards. Then they took us out of the phone book and we became a body shop.
I bailed out at the end of 1999.
Five years later the last five techs went to the Westinghouse Waltz Mill facility and that was the end of that.
The company I went to took all of the business Siemens didn't want.
Dodge has been done ever since Fiat bought them out of bankruptcy. Engineering and quality have gone right down the sewer.
@cooperparts you do know they hire college kids and call them engineers. They are just kids drawing concepts. 400 isn't thst big of a number considering that's the way they want to start their engineers..young and dumb.
Dodge has got some ball$ to sell a ram for $125.000. I would never,ever pay such sum of money a cheap brand with known quality manufacturing issues.
😂 Lmao but its a HEMI. Lol they get great mileage here in SoCal.
From 2009 and up you will find a good bit of the issues in the past have mostly been resolved,and they are just like any other car take care of them they last,and just like any car they can have issues off the line. just my two cents
Just don’t sell cars to California just don’t send no truck to California. I see how long they last.
Exactly what I’ve been saying, either they are lying or their main market is in California.
@@diegoharo7943 They probably know what is coming down the pipe than we do
Do you think that would hurt California lol ~ the richest state dropping off would kill them completely. Repair is cheaper than over paying outrageous unrealistic prices. These people new way ahead that paying vehicles at pre pandemic levels already had repos. They are asking for money we don’t have.
As of 3/24/24 gas is over $5 a gal here in Cali . This is the reason why their pushing full electric by 2032
@@Simba365 I mean electric cars and hybrids probably will eventually replace ice vehicles but let’s not ignore that currently their 23 models are not selling and their EVs haven’t hit dealerships yet
as a professional auto mechanic. I shed no tears for the engineers. they made our lives hell working on their sht.
They are unnecessarily overcomplicated disasters that I repair for other people, and not for cheap. Theres no way in hell that I would want to start out today in automotive repair, Ive been doing that for 52 years, the year before Chrysler introduced their first electronic ignition system starting everyone down the road to far too much electronics and the inevitable problems surrounding that.
The kids graduating from Lincoln Tech today are nowhere close to knowing what is necessary to repair new vehicles I have no idea what shops would employ them.
My own vehicles are all over 40 years old including my daily driver....because I know better.
Vehicles equipped with the Fiat/Stellantis/Chrysler Pentastar V-6 are among the worst out there.
@@donreinke5863 love my 01 Miata. i am 54 and about to retire. I just buy mechanic specials when I am getting a mercedes. you have to watch how all 5 euro cars formed a cartel. ruclips.net/video/lmifkjr39zI/видео.html
I am a recently retired professional mechanic. 37 years. I totally agree with you, to a point. The problem started when they began putting computers in cars/trucks. Then came front wheel drive, overhead cams, 4 valves per cylinder, variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation systems, and a whole bunch more garbage. Cars from the '60s are a joy to work on. The engineering was perfect (not necessarily the quality, but the assembly line workers were responsible for that) In the '70s the craziness started, they still had wonderful basic designs, but the literally covered them up in emissions trash. I am a lifelong hot rodder and drag racer. My favorite engine of all time is the first generation small block Chevy. But Chrysler and Ford also made really good engines back then. And they weren't all V8s. The Chrysler slant six was an amazing engine. Modern engines are absolute RUBBISH. I retired early because I could no longer deal with working on them. Instead of a wrench, my most used tool was a scan tool. I am a vintage American car guy through and through.
@@donreinke5863 UTI is the same way. A total scam. My son in law threw away $35,000 to that place. I have 5 cars. Every single one of them is carbureted.
I agree, cars are made too complicated. Keep it simple, reliable safe and affordable.
Stellantis created the perfect storm… over priced cars, turning their backs on enthusiasts/consumers and pushing EV’s too abruptly. They really should have tried to clean up the hemi engine to be more compliant and pushed hybrids before trying to go full EV. If ford and Chevy can give a cleaner v8, so can stellantis. The problem is they tried to jump ahead of the EV push to align themselves with California.
This is a good reminder that Stellantis is a European company and doesn't understand the US. In Europe they are used to the government just telling them how it is and everyone getting on board. Not so much in the US.
But..no one is buying electric, inventory is stacking up and the bottom fell out of the used EV market.
Theyre screwed.
While I understand that EVs are a current talking point. This issue with pricing is a Stellantis made issue. The corporation is greedy. Consumers are done with paying HUGE markups on vehicles.
Exactly! Stelantis should’ve prioritized hybridization first then made the switch to complete EV
@@robertmcgee3616 And then crash completely. No one wants electric junk vehicles.. new ones are stacking up unsold on dealers lots and resale values are in the tank.
There was a video on You tube of a guy who bought an electric Porsche last year for 118k euros and a year later no one will even give him 60k for it. Anyone buying one deserves to be screwed.
I remember when Obama was President. All you ever heard was about layoffs. When are you people going to wake up and realize that Liberal policies do not work in our favor
Obama had his way we'd be riding horses again.
💯
Here you go.... Same stuff happened when Bush and Trump were in office. Go look it up
@@amsf1 No excuse for voting Democrat anymore
This is all bullshit ! Go out shopping for a fuckng truck and see if they give the fucker away!
Biden and Newsome don’t give a shit about lay offs. Come on man!
sad thing their union doesnt care either!
Dodge is going to end up like Oldsmobile and pontiac.
And Plymouth for that matter
😢
And Saturn 😂😂
You are probably correct and figured that would happen when they were sold to Peugeot
and Mercury
I’m in SoCal and there is no way that the electric grid here can handle more EV’s. Dealerships here have too much EV inventory that is not moving. Insurance is very high on EV’s and public charging is extremely limited.
Ya’ll politicians gonna fuck around and find out 😂😂😂
I can’t already imagine how many of those boys will be in the savage lots from a first accident and those batteries become bricks.
Y’all air pollution is crazy though I’m in SoCal at least once a week driving trucks and it’s crazy
Damn you can't force someone to buy a ev if they don't want it...but I guess they trying to make yall move outta state
I've seen the videos - public charging is crap and it's not going to get any better. What a bunch of lemmings.
Message to those who really like the Dodge EV
just remember..
1)All the EVs top speed is no more than 130s MPH meaning none of those EVs cannot outrun a hellcat ,RT or Scat Pack long distance.
2)Unless you lease a Dodge EV you are going to spend at least around 17,000 every 5-7 years just on maintenance because the battery last about 5 yrs and cost about 17,000 just to replace. Cheaper to just buy a Hellcat.
3) trying to push that ev to get the same sense of "fun" from the ice models just means more frequent trips to the charging station, which means you probably will majority of the time, not be driving it like its a "charger" at all, therefore, its already underwhelming top speed is almost irrelevant. More acceleration than top speed they say. "you'll never be going top speed anyway" they say. Not only do i disagree with those statements i just listed, i've lost all incentive to think i'm even going to try going very fast given the inefficiency of it being a several ton, heavy as hell ev.
Wrong again,
The Nio EP9 will beat brakes of any Hellcat or Demon....
What a RIDICULOUS COMMENT.
BATTERIES are WARRANTEED for 100,000 miles/ 8 years BY GOVERNMENT MANDATE.
Really funny when people who don't know shit try to pretend that they do.
@@seanchernobyl2911 Don't bother argue with people who don't know what they're talking about.
@Verystoic its like those rc cars i had when i was a kid, spent more time charging the battery than i did playing with them. I cured that problem by going to gas powered rc cars. A few seconds to refill the tank and your right back at it.
Stellantis hasn’t cared about dodge since 2021. It’s over for them
California Governor, Gavin Newsom should focus more on all the crime in his state and homelessness. Instead of pushing for electric vehicles.
Stop it, you’re making too much sense 😅
Thank you cause for fast food and stores closing down is a problem for that state

@@dot8531it’s still hope eventually they’re going to have to cut their prices 😂😂
@@dot8531Buying a presenting second hand is your best bet.
They laid off salary workers like engineers, more then likey so they can out source those jobs,

This country is done, it's not just dodge, it's every business in America... interest rates at record highs, the prices of everything have tripled and there's no end in sight
I got fired (laidoff) from stellantis.
Terrible! What happened?
I think Stellantis is succumbing to the politicians and ESG craziness.
@@alanhowitzer succumbing is a great word for it. LIke what happens when a disease overwhelms the body and the body dies.
Damn son 😂😢
So very sorry! In the layoffs that just happened? Ridiculous that the company is cutting it’s own people like that. I own older Dodge vehicles but would rather walk than EV when I see what the repercussions are for people. I am too far from everything to use an EV anyway. Lucky for me that the new EV factory cut down all the woods so I can admire the new vehicles from my front door! I can taste the diesel hauling parts and hear the bulldozers, and the concrete dust is quite decorative on my old Dodge. Thank you to all who know that this will save us. It all works quite well. We won’t have to watch the wildlife, admire the endangered and protected species of all kinds or drink water anymore. Yep. New EV factory will be good for us.The high voltage transmission lines are not activated yet but the natural gas has a lovely fragrance. Looking forward to the buzz of the lines when they come online. Good to know that there will be jobs coming? I may need one since my business has been destroyed. I worked with endangered species. Now I can try to get a factory assembly line job.
They should’ve just did what ford did make a couple of evs to satisfy the governments gas gouging score and then keep making the hellcat
Exactly!!!!!
That’s not going to be Ford’s future neither though as long as the government has anything to say about it since they are pushing for the same Cali regulations.
The Hellcat is an absolute nightmare, both from an engineering and quality standpoint.
The automotive industry is always volatile.
Stellantis is not forcing EVs on anybody it’s your government
Stellantis is forcing the EV junk on buyers by only making EV's which buyers scorn !
No, but they're willing to drink the kool-aid like it taste good. Also, consider that Stellantis is a European conglomerate (so they're already light in the loafers), and that they're willingly in lock step with the WEF agenda to screw up everything, so no the elected government is pushing it BUT so is the unelected government.
@@comradeyuri8492it’s more about control. They are even passing a law that will allow them to turn your vehicle off. Just think if they shut all the power off most cars won’t be able to move unless it’s a hybrid
@@comradeyuri8492 I hate to be the one who has to explain how things work.. government mandates Ev production in order to sell ice vehicles … I worked for Chrysler for over 30 years and in the 90s the government forced Chrysler to idle there Truck production because they were not sell enough economy, vehicles, to meet the regulations and café standards s so Chrysler sold there Neons and other 4 cylinders at a lose just to sell the trucks because no one wanted the small cars … FCA took millions in federal fines just to sell you all Hellcats …reason the price increase on the other models…. Now stellantis. Has no carbon credits like the other manufacturers because they have no Evs on the market
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
FCA killed Dodge a decade ago. Took Ram away, left a Mercedes Benz platform from the 90’s and a big engine
I'll NEVER have or BUY a EV !!
You will be forced to. They want to be able to remotely shut off your vehicle if you say naughty things online
Stellantis: Full speed ahead to bankruptcy!
your right it would be far cheaper and easier to stop selling cars in califonia
Not just EVs... Arrogant Stellantis thought they can go Head to Head with Mercedes with $100k Jeeps... Nope.
Affluent people don't step foot in a Dodge Dealerships. Stellantis is driving CDJR into the ground.
Sounds like a automotive 'bloodbath' to me.
VioLeNcE 🤡
Everyone's laying off people so this is no surprise
If I was stellantis I would have told California "Bye Felicia!"
Carbon footprint of EV is worse!
Who cares? It was never about the environment. Its about the government being able to shut off hour vehicle remotely
recalling every car they cant sell 😂 damm
This is crazy i dont know how i feel about electric vehicles
50k for a Widebody Hellkat… lets start there…😂💯
It's good to have dreams.
And how many people wish they bought hemi Cudas in 1970!@@DB-be9wy
I would be up there tomorrow to get it 😂😂
I understand that they had to end hemi production; what burns me is that they didn't replace it with a better V8
Thank you for all the Great information.
My 2019 Dodge journey at 72,000 needs a new engine for no reason 🤷🏾♂️😑
It’s a dodge with 72,000 miles, that’s the reason 😂
Smoke & mirrors, don’t get me wrong the attempt at electrification of the auto industry certainly plays a role, but this has a lot to do with the overall economy. Same reason they’re having such a hard time moving their 23’ models. Interest rates are way too high.
DODGE is committing Hari Kari ! Laying off 400 ................... ENGINEERS !
It's almost like the electric car scene is destroying the industry
This is every consumer issue is having companies rule the industry😢
Just airbag 2017 takati airbag was defect. Supplier issue
If you buy a new car from them and they refuse to fix anything on it, why would you ever buy anything from them ever again? I know I won't.
Great video. Problem will only worsen if we experience the next big real estate downturn soon. When that happens then impound lots will be full of large fancy pick up trucks and everything else downstream
And people with these cars now or any other car will be so upside down in loan it's ridiculous!!!! Why isn't that mentioned????
California after 2030 wants all new autos sold in that state to be electric while they currently don't have enough electricity to keep the air conditioning on in the summer. Think they might be putting the cart in front of the horse. Currently there hasn't been anything on the table in regards to upgrading the electrical infrastructure, be generating more electricity, development of charging stations or developing safe fire surpression systems. We all know there will be many fires and/or explosions with these EV's. Plus who will be able to afford to buy an EV. By 2030 there may not be many people living in California other than illegal immigrants and the homeless
Maybe these dealerships are playing 2 games. 1. We hold the cars at high prices so no one buys them and show dodge that we don’t have room for Electric vehicles and that they aren’t wanted and 2. If someone buys the car at that price at least we make a profit.
Dodge needs a vehicle regular ppl want. Ever since the minivan died they’ve been struggling to find a vehicle the average person wants.
There’s a 2023 WB scat at a dealership in Concord NC that’s listed at 60k
3000 layoffs would equal 7.5% (and more if 3600). I live in Cali and it’s the worst state ever to live in. EV’s will never rule the road here so that I’m not worried about. I’d like them to fix the state first and foremost. Oh, and we don’t have charge stations everywhere, in fact what we do have are always empty.
Appreciate the lighting in your house to see ya ,love your videos ,and am not into cars ,just like to watch news of all ,Appreciate u bro ,maybe add a nice painting on wall ,top right shoulder 😅

Keep all your stuff coming through...I am going wait to get that good on that charger hellcat
It’s over for them Sorry to say. Stellantis did this on purpose, who wants a 45k Hornet? It replaced the Caliber that was 24k. They will only sell trucks under the name in a few years.
I have a 2020 Charger R/T and got an email about a recall, what should I do being I never had a recall before?
Dodge / Chrysler / Jeep should have never partnered with Stellantis
I agree
This is not only Dodge but Ford and Chevy response to not only the economy but the raises they had to give. I've seen this coming.
This is the end of Dodge
This is the re rise of Ford Mustang
Re rise? Bro the Mustang has been going strong since 1964 with zero interruptions lol
Lol, record drop in EV sales......
@@TOKESMcGOAT At least Ford didn’t screw their customer base and is committed to the V8. Dodge making EVs now because they bowed to the man.

The last Dodge I bought was a 1968 valiant in 1978. Rusty but trusty.
I was at the dodge dealership In Northern California and they all have a mark up of 5k all the cars trucks pick ups in the lot also the prices are insanely high
Dodge is asking for bankruptcy
Scott Hayes, commentator on Fox News is from the Toledo Refining Company (oil/oil processing company), not Stellantis. As such I expect him to have a bias view, therefore I take what he thinks on the matter and weigh it accordingly.
Frankly, I'd like to hear from a Stellantis Official regarding the reason for these potential layoffs. The pathway taken by Stellantis isn't feasible. They should've phased in EV's like other OEM's, instead of the 1 year (2023) switch turn off......
Prices are to high for the average person. It would be hard to put a load of 2x4's in an $80,000 Truck. Keep California out of the car building business.
They sell them raggedy cars for 80k 😂 And the UAW wants a raise
@Knockout 360 Do you think it would be wise financial decision to trade in your 21 dodge charger scatpack that your still currently financing for a better upgrade like hellcat or better scatpack. Or would it just be best to stay where I’m at. Considering you are saying prices will drop ?
What good is a car at "any" price if the manufacturer is not there to fix it under warranty?
Dealerships are closed on Sundays where I live, so i decided to drop by a CJDR dealership on the 24th of March to look around. They still have some '23 Chargers and 300s on the lot with $995.00 Addendum stickers! (Paint protection and window tint) And yeah, every single one of their '24s have addendums on them.
I feel for the employees, but absolutely do not feel sorry for the company or their dealerships.
@5:05 As someone who's currently living in los angeles california, the emission laws are really strict out here, not to mention high gas prices.
Come to Texas they just got rid of the emissions test starting next year for gas vehicles because it didn't really do anything lol😅😅😅
So one radical/progressive state will dictate the future of a car company. Maybe the CEO at Stellantis should be booted out, and possibly save the company!
Great video and thanks
Dodge going down in flames!!
I had an issue with my airbag, which was caused by the main wiring harness getting jammed in a seat post hole on the driver's side. This issue occurred just two weeks after I purchased the vehicle. Initially, they attempted to blame me for the problem, but eventually, they discovered the actual issue and tried to dismiss it. It turned out to be an assembly error.
It's staring to happen now.
Seen a price drop of 2 to 5 thousand in the colorado market.
The power dollars they are offering now you can't even get depending on where you live. I was told the only power dollars available for scat pack in April where I live is $1000. That is absolutely nothing. So, nothing real has materialized yet in terms of discounts. They apply the discounts for where you live even if you purchase from another state and ship it to you. The reality is the cars are still close to MSRP. Then the dealers still add their tinted windows, nitrogen etc
Looking for a widebody challenger with low mileage. Hoping to find the color Hellraisin. Need an automatic & non smoker. Hoping to find one with the 797 HP engine.

They’re pre-loading for the eventual losses when the EVs start hitting lots.
I dont think the prices will come down significantly. I think all Chrysler Dodge Jeep amd Ram dealerships will off load their 23 whatevers to these smaller competitors like Drive time JD Byrider etc etc. And then those dealerships mark up the cost from when that bought inventory to offset the cost. Therefore all those RTs, Scats and maybe a few Hellcats will be in those Drivetime/JD Byrider mom and pop lots. Where the markup will be the same if not 2 too 3% more... Just an opinion
If anyone remembers back in the day, Chrysler electronics were shitty and now they want us to buy their electric cars.
There is no mention of the layoffs in Kokomo Indiana?
They can thank their insane dealer markups as well !!
Most of the people here aren't exactly interested in fuel economy but with gas prices rising and interest rates higher it does make an impact on vehicle purchase decisions. I am watching and waiting. 😮
trump warned eletric cars would be the end of American auto industry and teamster union ignored him
I live in CA, and they shutdown the power grid when the wind blows the wrong direction, which happens alot. Because they don't want wild fires. So lets be real... Old timers like myself, don't want electric we want more power give us a V8 any day or the week.

All manufacturers had recalls on airbags, all airbags are purchased from the same suppliers

Stellantis moved those jobs to third-world countries. They're full of shit.
I work at the GM Tech Center in Warren they are all in on the EV as well.
If the new purchases are going to drop significantly, the smart money is on the used side of the coin. All that last call stuff is going to mean a thing when the new car supply meets demand.
They should have never sold a good American car company, to a European conglomerate! Each of these two markets is so different, they will never mix!
