In today's video I talk about Stellantis Chairman John Elkann not being happy with the reviews coming out on the Dodge charger Daytona EV.
Could he cut the product entirely?
Let's discuss this in the comments

TK I BOUGHT A TRUCK !!!!

2023 new old stock Ram Classic 5.7 4x4 that's been sitting... dealer cut it down to $35k out the door. picking it up tomorrow

Did that chairman just crawl from under a rock he can't be that surprised.

[Cobramedic]

So in all actuality he's unhappy due to Tavares lying to him

[MichiganSandman]

It’s a symptom of eating too much caviar. You can’t relate to what working class people will buy

[chrish]

If you build crap, expect negative reviews.

Rich Rebuilds gave the most honest review. The evs should be sent to the crusher. Everything with this 2018 technology trashed.

[danielphillipsmusic]

Weird. It’s too bad there wasn’t an entire community of Mopar enthusiasts who have continually told these fools for 6 years that we didn’t want any of this or the turbo nonsense. Oh wait…

[DD-ewed]

Dump it, cut the losses. Build something that sells

Stellantis is a private company, making cars for a private person. Mr Tavares, your car is ready.

So dodge spends years and years gaining fans by increasing power and making new crazier versions of cars we loved then abandoned that entirely and expected a positive result? They set themselves up for failure. Its the most predictable outcome ever!!

The stereo exhaust is a joke. This should be a $35k car. Performance is down 25-35% for cost of car.

[PassportBrosBusinessClass]

The Charger EV is a 2018 EV late to 2024 with 2050 pricing.

The technology is old.

The car itself is passable, but for the price, it's a dud.

The early reviews absolutely went exactly how I expected them to. When you own an EV and understand EV, a car like this hold no mystery. This car is for people who've never owned an EV and don't like Tesla/Elon.

Dodge, Pull the plug on the EV Charger 🔌

[shovel_head]

He can see the handwriting on the wall for ev

[davidjernigan]

Build a crap electric charger that no one wanted and it gets bad reviews not surprised

[MickPsyphon]

I'll be straight with you, TK! Elkin needs to pull his head out of his ass; and LISTEN to what's being said. If all he wants to do is listen to his own press, he's going to join Tavares real quick like!

North Americans aren't stupid! They don't want an overpriced, underperforming vehicle, that they're going to have to replace in a couple of years. They especially don't like the idea of the vehicle randomly Bricking on them.

Put a HEMI in the Charger; make THAT the standard model; and only make an EV version as an OPTION, if the customer wants it.

EDIT:
I almost forgot! Stop pricing your vehicles as if everyone in North America is Thurston Howell III, or Elon Musk! Be freaking

[rhaegoti]

Was he unaware of the specs of the car? Or driven it himself? Is he surprised at the product, or the reviews of the product? I can't see how he could have been unprepared for these reviews.

[zdoc]

He better axe it now. EVs are not ready for prime time with current battery technology and infrastructure.

[johnbeckham]

The average new car buyer in America doesn't want an EV, Electric Car!

[familydad]

The way they marketed it is one of the problems.
