@@ken2tou Every tech disruption where an older tech is being displaced by a new won involves a valley of death' where total sales volume drops to meet the growth curve of the new technology In the case of automobiles, this involves a drop in ICEv sales as customers wait for newer EVs - why buy a new gas car today when you know you're planning to replace it with an EV? Why replace it with an expensive EV today when you can wait a year or two to see if prices drop? Especially when there's conversation about sub$30k EVs and cheaper Chinese EVs entering the market? Meanwhile, EV production capacity will still need years to reach the same volume as existing ICEV production capacity. TLDR: SAAR slowing is not only supposed to happen, disruption analysts have been predicting this for the past decade. Maybe its time to start listening to them for a change
new flash at this time, Stellantis has no EVs to sell yet. and what dealers have ordered from them are sitting on lots unsold. and dealers pick what they want to order not what the OEM wants them to order. dealers just want them offer huge rebates so that the vehicles will sell. and the top 10 slowest selling vehicle is one of theres, but its not supposed to be all that expensive. but on dealers lots it is

After bragging about last year’s 4 billion dollar success, why would any CEO want to change ANYTHING ‼️That’s just common sense. Actually the electric car market was doing pretty well last year until December 2023 and January 2024. The extremely cold weather during that time shocked the customers and the manufacturers. An electric vehicle performs somewhat poorly in that environment. However, the horror stories coming out of Chicago and other northern cities, caught EVERYONE off guard. Lithium batteries will NOT take a charge if they are extremely cold. They MUST be warmed up sufficiently before they’ll take a charge at an EV charging station. The driver sitting in his/her electric vehicle with no operational heater is miserable while at the charging station and the battery won’t take a charge because IT’S too cold also. That situation shocked the industry AND the would be BUYERS. At this point, their is NO solution in sight❗️
The Stellantis initial response says it all. They are not listening and they are not going to listen. The company leadership believes they are already on the right track and doing all the right things. Time will tell because the customer looking to purchase a car will be the judge and jury.
@@RalphTrautwein-oh6he good for them, although when i look to spend money on a vehicle and options are 80k dodge or jeep well lets say its a no brainer to by a Mercedes
Carlos is still going to continue doing whatever the fuck he wants, he doesn't give a shit about the American market he only cares about making the investors happy. Love your videos Brad.
@jalenhall6185 It's so funny because he said straight from his own mouth that he knows what the American consumer wants and that's "affordable electric vehicles." 🤣 Dude is smoking crack frfr
His bouncers are China. Communism, that's who's behind it. Figure it out, I've done research. They lead you to dead tracks where you can't trace them. But the Moves. They made let you know everything about them. That's why they're pushing The Democrat party what do you think they're getting their money from China?
Carlos is European, what do you expect?Those people over there know nothing of freedom, the American truck market or ever caring about what their customers want or need. Just look at the little go carts most of the people drive over there. Let them build all these little sissy EV's and full size trucks with 6 cylinders they want. We ain't going to buy them.
Dealership: It's not market manipulation if you have other options to buy. Customers: Why can't I buy that car in the back hidden behind the trucks that is 1 model year newer. Dealership: I don't see any car back there.
I’m a finance Manager for a CDJR dealer are dealer not once charged over MSRP for a vehicle. We are a 70 year old family run business. Carlos is single handily killing our business meanwhile collecting 40 million per year while destroying a company.
Sorry but Stelantis sold dealer a unit at X price and dealer then charged customer at Y price. Dealer got stuck with product at Y price and wants to return product to Stelantis. The only product I could understand the dealers point is the Hornet. But all other models, dealers fault completely.
Many of us saw problems years ago when they started to get rid of cheaper, smaller cars and sedans. They actually thought that they could force us into buying a large, expensive SUV or pickup truck. That is not working out well for them now.
Dealer tried to scam me for another 100K over on a Demon 170 here in Idaho after we agreed that I’d buy it for window sticker- I told them to shove it! They basically tried to extort me using another buyer who they said wanted the same car. So glad I passed as all the engines are not grenading.
I love that part of dealing with car salesmen. I used to buy for an engineering company, and it's like dealing with children. I was at one place when I was looking for my current car and as I was standing there telling the sales dude that I wasn't interested in the stupid paint treatment, and he could take the nitrogen out of the tires and keep it for himself when his idiot friend yelled across the room that they had a buyer on the phone and what was the VIN on that Grand Cherokee. I laughed and said, you'd better sell it to the guy on the phone then, and got up to walk away. The look on his face was precious! There was nobody else in the dealership. They tried to charge me $2k for financing with my own bank, so I said "My bank does this for no charge, so I'll go and get a check from them". That BS disappeared.
The only people more ludicrous than the dealers, are the morons who actually paid THOSE prices, for THESE cars. I own a ‘21 Charger Scat - I paid $400 below invoice, when I ordered it in 2021. I simply told the dealership I would never pay above invoice, and that I understood that they could sell the cars already on their lot for much more than that, so I was willing to order one and wait for it, if they met my price. I simply explained that they could sell one additional car than they would otherwise, by both them and me ordering and waiting. So they did. Obviously, they still made $$$ on my sale, and I did have to wait about 5 months for it to get there, but there was no way I was going to pay over sticker.
OCMotivator, we need to find a way to save CDJR brands indeed! Carlos Tavares is in denial about the fact that American automotive buyers don't want Stellantis to build EV, ELECTRIC CARS! Carlos Tavares needs to listen to what MOPAR car buyers want! Carlos Tavares apparently believes that the Biden Administration's NEW GREEN DEAL is the gospel! Frank Rhodes, Jr. needs to continue with his desire to purchase Chrysler/Dodge!
Stellantis has yet to sell any EVs in the US as of today. and dealers order vehicles for their lots. some places BEVs will sell well, others not so much. that BEV charger isnt on their Dodge web site as of now
The biggest issue with cjdr dealerships is this. They actually have model years 2023,2024,2025 of the same exact models‼️‼️that’s a problem. They need Stellantis to put some dealer cash on these asap!! Help get rid of them, as most are over 1 year on the floorplan. Also , they need to get the lease payments down ‼️ here in northeast leasing is 75% of business. Gr Cher , Ram, Wrangler and Durango lease prices have to come down !! Then they will clean up the inventory. I think they will figure it out. 💪💪
If Stellantis doesn’t cut sticker prices by $5-10K across the board the management has their heads buried in the sand. Almost none of their products are priced competitively. I argue $15K price cuts on anything over $60K. A $60K Grand Cherokee is similar to a $45K Telluride. Why would anybody buy a Jeep? For the same price you can get a larger more reliable Grand Highlander.
Although Tavares has run this company into the ground by mismanagement and hid EV grab. I have very little to zero pity for the dealers as a great majority of them have taken advantage and are still taking advantage of prospective customers. At this point, I am not concerned if Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler go the way of Pontiac.
Greed is what hurt stellantis and the dealerships destoyed dodge. This EV coming up isnt going to save the day... OCM another on point awesome informative video.
@Saiyan4658 Chrysler, Dodge Plymouth has a history of poor quality and being bailed out by the American taxpayers. Enough is enough! The automotive industry is highly competitive, and if a company is mismanaged, no longer profitable, and produces an inferior product, it should go out of business. 🤔 WILLIS✨️
@@TheBigCheese-s3e Hard to debate someone who is ignorant to the automotive industry but I’ll cover your points. 1. All of the major 3 took a bailout, yes even Ford… the only difference is they did the “bailout” before it was called on. 2. Inferior products and quality management is a problem for everyone. No manufacturer isn’t without multiple and major flaws. Toyota might be the best out there overall for reliability but they also don’t make a ton of high powered cars. 3. I have owned several types of manufacturers vehicles and by far the best ones I have ever owned were Dodge and Ram products. So your opinion isn’t a fact because you feel one way about a particular company. Instead of just being extremely biased and not looking at the big picture, please do more research. You couldn’t comprehend the level of disaster in letting a major car company fail with the 80-90K job losses. Fiat didn’t manage the company super well but the brand was profitable and mostly made great vehicles. When Stellantis bought Fiat/Chrysler, the whole company is going under because for the push of the EV European market by Carlos. We can go on and on as long as you like, but i bet you won’t have anything useful to rebuttal. YMMV no matter the brand.
OC,The problem with Stellantis is Tavares.Don’t forget he comes from the school of Carlos Ghosn.Slash,slash, and slash until the product becomes shit all the while collecting bonuses and hosting birthday parties in French palaces.This happened in Japan once upon a time and what did the Japanese do?They locked his ass up in jail.Stellantis must be led by an Engineer or the likes of a Bob Lutz.Someone who cares about the quality and value of the product. I just traded in my 2020 Pacifica S with 150k.Guess what it was a great vehicle and I never had a major problem with it.The vehicle being produced today is not the same and paying over 10k more for it is ridiculous.If Chrysler doesn’t right the ship,they will be gone soon.Mike the Greek
actually what you have described is the way business operates. cutting costs until it hurt is the modus operandi. also see Boeng. was a great engineering company till it merged/bought Mcdonald Douglas. now they have major quality problem (hmm,,, sounds like OEMs, only mot times the OEMs quality wont kill you unlike Boeng's will)
In my opinion the reason stellantis is pushing the EV cars here in the US is because it went extremely well in Europe where the government tells you what you can and cannot buy. They are hoping and assuming that our government is about to be to that point as well enforcing us to purchase EV
Any true auto experts here know that there isn't a good vehicle in the lineup period. They are all falling apart, failing, and just junk products. If anyone calls any Stellantis product quality, doesn't have a clue! The other manufacturers are building junk also. The whole industry is declining fast. You really need to point out the low low quality of DJRC vehicles to save people a lot of money and misery. There's not a car ever made that i haven't touched. My career dealt with everything.
@DavidWiliams-r1g Older of all were good. It's the new models that went to crap. The automobile companies all merging into super companies now really hurt because one bad design flows through the rest. Then the pure outright greed. CEOs now are so focused on profits that they sacrificed quality.
They should not have 420000 units in stock if they were in the customers interest they would have been sold all along instead of having a fire sale to try to look good after it is to late
First and foremost Chrysler should have never been sold to an overseas buyer. Daimler Fiat Stellantis whoever. The millionaires and billionaires of the US should have not allowed it. Should have been kept as a genuine USA manufacturer. I personally have never bought a foreign car. I was raised driving Ford Chevy and Chrysler products. Never had a bad one.
Yes. Dr. Z and his cronies over at Daimler began the ruination even though there were some cool vehicles produced. Once Fiat stepped in we all shook our heads (Fiat, really?) and now basically a French conglomerate? How could anything good come from this?
problem is many of OEMs products are made in the USA and havent been for over 30 years now. and to find out whether is domestic means figuring out where the vehicle comes from. Lots and lots are from Mexico
I really wanted a Challenger but couldn't stomach the price for a new one. Snagged myself a 2011 SRT8 Inaugural Edition with about 50,000 miles and a 6 speed for 20K. Seems like a better deal to me. Our local dealer is actually really good, but Stellantis pricing is a real problem, as we all know.
Love the Videos First Off!! Im a CDJR Sales Manager at Dealership that never charger Markups even when dealer around us we making money hand over fist during Peak Covid, We sold Everything without a markup Hellcat Jailbreaks, TRX, Hellcat Durangos, and 392 included. My team and I "Owner Included" agreed that we have always done business the right way with our customers and will always do so! What the other dealerships were doing was unethical 100% and they will see the reproduction of the actions. What sucks is there is ethical people out there in this business like our staff and Stellantis is making them suffer as well.
I bought a certified used 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 limited with under 30,000 miles in 2022 for $38k; 6 weeks later somebody backed into the door and because of the Covid back up, it was gonna be eight months wait to have a body shop repair it. As full time nomad I needed a car so I traded it in on a used 2020 Jeep WK2 Trailhawk that has less options and features with extremely high mileage around 88,000. The advertise price of this vehicle was $28,000. I put $10,000 down and somehow I still owe $45,000 and this was a 4.5% low interest rate loan. The Jeep dealers will !@#$ you just as hard as the Dodge dealers as well. I’ll probably never be able to recover from this purchase financially.
About four months after I bought the Jeep Trailhawk the key fob stopped working I was under the impression that I only had one key fob and the emergency key in the fob on CJDR vehicles doesn’t work if the fob doesn’t send a signal to the computer it’ll set off the alarm system and disable the vehicle. Eventually, I found out there was a second key to the vehicle, but the dealer never gave it to me. It took the vehicle sitting a month to let me know that they actually had a second key for the vehicle and they would order me a replacement key, which I never got. I had to hitchhike 120 miles to the dealer to get the second key. There is other issues with this vehicle that I’ve had to repair myself. I’ll never go back to CJDR dealer again.
So glad to see you doing videos again, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all you do as a Mopar fan and bringing the truth about Stellantis and crooked dealers. Our local JDR dealership was not one of those dirtbag dealers so there are a few good ones out there. We just negotiated a great deal on a new Dodge Durango GT Plus and they treated us with total respect so there are some good dealerships out there. Our condolences for you and your family on the passing of your dad. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing you more in the future!
What stinks is it’s one thing for Ferrari or Porsche to do this stuff, but the typical Dodge customer is younger, less educated and less affluent. The slimy dealers know this and take huge advantage of kids. I know there’s sophisticated customers like Orange County here who also has a huracan, but he’s rare. These kids come in with their first or second job, dying for one of these purple or lime wide body hellcats, and instead of being responsible these dealers and a lot of these dealers did this, look at those kids like prime rib. Hook them up with a car then overcharge them by a hundred k and send them on their way to credit hell. Smiling the whole way. Used to be they’d hang an extra hundred or two. Now they ruin the kids for years. Nissan just came out with a SUV called the Kicks and it’s $31,000. Who’s going to pay $52,000 for a Hornet? Seriously? How can so called professionals misread the market and the economy so poorly? Good God.
A study was done on human I.Q. And self perception. Long story short the people with higher I.Q.’s had a lower perception of self intelligence and the people with lower I.Q.’s had a much much higher self perception of intelligence.
I have a hard time feeling bad for anyone in the UAW, they are a large part of the reason domestic manufactures are moving production overseas. What do you expect a company to do when the union demands 40 hours of pay, for 30 hours of work? Take the company to court, for firing employees drinking and doing drugs in the parking lot during lunch (don't forget they are having serious build quality problems)? The list goes on, and on
Your dealing with a company that is based as a technology company. They have no interest in any platform based on traditional natural resource fuel power. They desire only elements based in battery cell platforms and nothing else. Our domestic automotive company they are in control of is over. Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles are being liquidated. This includes every single American job in this country. The leadership of the UAW is selling out the entire spectrum of the membership. The UAW has yet again sold their people down the river without a paddle or a boat. No differently than what happened to thousands just like me back in 2009.
I’m a Mopar guy thru and thru. However, I’m done with Dodge.😢. I’m looking at a 3500 crew cab and Ram is not even in the running. If I were to need a replacement for my beloved Scat Widebody, I’d get the Caddy Blackwing. So sad
I am sorry, but the only way that anything will change for Dodge is for it to COMPLETELY go down. No one will ever change Stellantis. They have a mad men mission that, to them, they are on target. I doubt they will sell the company until It starts really hurting their other brand . Remember when Penske tried to buy Saturn and GM refused to sell it to him?
I tagged you in a Scraplife Garage video about the stole 170...with 61 miles on it. Its a rough watch because that car was cut up in cubes.... It was also a carbon fiber wheel car too
Customers created this problem, willing to paying huge markups, high interest rates, and insane payments. The manufacturer just worked the markup into the MSRP, they just followed the market trend. US government will just give them a bailout.
My father owned a Dodge dealership 1961-1969, a Pontiac, Buick, GMC dealership 1968-1980, a Ford dealership 1970-1980, NEVER sold a vehicle more than MSRP, if anything at a discount to be competitive. We had Hemi cars, 4 spd. trans am, the 1st mustang turbo’s, etc. My dad always told me the factory sells him the cars at a wholesale price and the difference between wholesale and MSRP was his probit. Also, the factory would give incentives on certain models so you could make more of a profit. I commented on this years ago, the factories should punish the dealers who sell over MSRP. Now as long as your selling vehicles for the factories they could care less about how. This is so sad. I could tell you amazine storys what Dodge use to give dealers back in the 60's, when Don Knotts was the spokesman. And had white hat sales. We went to the super bowl and partied with Dodge at the Statler hotel they rented.
Good morning! Might be interested in looking into stellantis dealership Red Rock of Watford City, North Dakota! Their sales manager posted racially derogatory statements on her social media and it is being brought to light!!😮
Stopped by my local Ram dealer last week to test drive the 2025 1500 Rebel. Had previously owned a “21” w/5.7 hem which was a fantastic truck. New truck was just as nice and largely unchanged except for the TT inline 6 Hurricane. Honestly had nothing against the engine going in and it drove great. Excellent power torque etc. post test drive spent 30 minutes pouring over the new engine hood up and also laid underneath. Final verdict: not confident in the overall quality/reliability of this engine. Plastic fittings abound next to high heat turbos and plastic tranny cover vs metal the list goes on. This engine is not in the same playing field as the outgoing platform which was far from perfect (stuck lifters/cracked exhaust manifolds…) . Im not a fanboy of brands and was really hoping to fall in love with the new engine. Didn’t happen. Side note, sales Mgr offered me $16k off MSRP to take it home. Wowzers😮 tables have turned. I politely declined the offer as the new tomato red interiors on the standard Rebel are hideous IMHO. Get the Rebel X or GT option package to avoid this color debacle and you get a console shifter where it belongs. Hope Im wrong about the Hurricane as I think Ram has the best 1/2 ton by a wide margin. Only time will tell but for now GX550 here I come, Gulp😂
No surprise; Glad to see workers and dealers standing up and telling cooperate office who the problem is. Also you don't mess with the UAW on their contracts and agreements. I hope it gets better but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
We may be going back to the days of hot rodding. Buying a car with an engine like a turbo six, and swapping in a hemi V8. Dealers need to be selling vehicles at cost to clear out inventory so they can sell vehicles that people want. They can make up the profit end fixing all the crappy quality in the vehicles that were sold.
What a laugh. They are despicable. The STEALERSHIPS are the ones demanding a ridiculous $75K for a fugly old Jeep. The average price of a Wrangler starts at an obscene $47,000 in every stealership in my state.
As a 13 year dealer tech, the service department is only trying to empty your wallet. That service manager wants his numbers by any means necessary, they encourage the techs to be underhanded to sell work. When they get caught they have a rolodex of excuses to cover it up.
I might get some critcism. for this comment. but i have not liked anything CDJR has made since the 90s and 00s at least back then they had some variety in cars . Everything they have now can be purchased from another brand. They need to go put of business
I’ve been a MOPAR guy my whole life. My last 2 vehicles have been Jeeps that I drove till the wheels fell off l and the last one literally it did lol. I’m a disabled veteran I can’t afford anything in the line and I refuse to pay that amount of money for any of that cheap jeeps and hell no on a Hornet. My opinion is Stallantis is purposely tanking the American Brands to prop up their foreign brands. It’s pretty damn obvious you can disagree if you want but it’s seems that’s the route they are taking.
I have a dream that in five or so years I will be able to buy a basic Muscle Car from Dodge at a fair price...of course in my world the United Sates is recovering from a depression that made what happened in Venezuela look like the 80's boom....but one can dream.
I had 7 Chargers, 1 Challenger, and 2 Jeeps since 2006. This was including my 2023 Widebody Scat Pack. I was so sickened by what Stellantis has become that I traded in my 2023 after 10 months. The sticker on that car was $68K. I was “lucky” Cadillac gave me $50K for it with 4600 miles. I didn’t even care about losing that much. It was me showing Mr Tavares that I am no longer a loyal Mopar buyer because of what that company has become.
Hope you got a CT4 or 5 "V". Been driving my Caddys for years and love them. My oldest 2020 XT5 70k miles and a great no issues vehicle to my 2024 CT4- lil' rocket that flies and corners like a race car. You'll love your Cadillacs. BTW Escalade has the best resale to deprecation ratios now and are really holding valve.
After 7 Dodge, Jeep products in my driveway over the years and none lasting more than 140000 miles I've been done with them for six years now. Never again and I saw this crap coming as well. Hate it for the dealers and workers but I'm done. Poor quality and sky high price. Done
I came back here after reading that Carlos is getting mad at the EU for considering rolling back on their EV mandate… going from required to recommended. He argues the relaxation of EV rules will hurt his business
Drama???. Yeah..Harley-Davidson. Same thing with crazy prices..they are selling toys. VERY expensive toys. $40000 for a CVO Road Glide... $1100 plus a month payment. And their customer base is aging out, younger folks aren't interested in motorcycles and Harley doesn't have an entry level bike any more. Great idea...
Maybe the dealer council could clean up their own backyard first. They literally stole from their customers and laughed in the face of their customers. The dealers rode the profit wave too and until it suddenly stopped ... now they cry? Kudos to the honest transparent dealers that valued customers as much as profit
Brad, I'm truely waiting it out, in hope that Jeep prices get hacked in half (50% off) on current prices, and weigh the decision of purchasing a lot rot jeep wrangler or gladiator and building up the new battery with what I want, tires I want, and fluids I want. I think this might be my wish. Love the channel and love the videos
Can’t blame companies for taking advantage of s-upid customers. It is great to see ppl come together to not buy now. Even though it’s mainly been forced by ppl going broke after overpaying.
@ocmotivator What do you think of this deal is it good or bad It’s a 2021 charger scatpack widebody Msrp is 56,345 back in 2021 Sell price is 47,000 They have me at 48,500 out the door And it only has 29,000 miles Good deal or bad deal?
As a Ford man. I hate seeing Dodge fall apart again. I would buy a Dodge if they wasn't so over priced. But I'm happy with my Mustang and F-150. But it would be nice to see Dodge back on the NASCAR track and building real cars and trucks again

Dealer tried to scam me for another 100K over on a Demon 170 here in Idaho after we agreed that I’d buy it for window sticker- I told them to shove it! They basically tried to extort me using another buyer who they said wanted the same car. So glad I passed as all the engines are not grenading.
Dodged a Bullet !
I love that part of dealing with car salesmen. I used to buy for an engineering company, and it's like dealing with children. I was at one place when I was looking for my current car and as I was standing there telling the sales dude that I wasn't interested in the stupid paint treatment, and he could take the nitrogen out of the tires and keep it for himself when his idiot friend yelled across the room that they had a buyer on the phone and what was the VIN on that Grand Cherokee. I laughed and said, you'd better sell it to the guy on the phone then, and got up to walk away. The look on his face was precious! There was nobody else in the dealership. They tried to charge me $2k for financing with my own bank, so I said "My bank does this for no charge, so I'll go and get a check from them". That BS disappeared.
The only people more ludicrous than the dealers, are the morons who actually paid THOSE prices, for THESE cars. I own a ‘21 Charger Scat - I paid $400 below invoice, when I ordered it in 2021. I simply told the dealership I would never pay above invoice, and that I understood that they could sell the cars already on their lot for much more than that, so I was willing to order one and wait for it, if they met my price. I simply explained that they could sell one additional car than they would otherwise, by both them and me ordering and waiting. So they did. Obviously, they still made $$$ on my sale, and I did have to wait about 5 months for it to get there, but there was no way I was going to pay over sticker.
I agree, I ordered a Challenger ScatPack Wide Body, Shaker, 392 Hemi in May of 2022 and received the car September 16th 2022, Paid Sticker, Great Car.
OCMotivator, we need to find a way to save CDJR brands indeed! Carlos Tavares is in denial about the fact that American automotive buyers don't want Stellantis to build EV, ELECTRIC CARS! Carlos Tavares needs to listen to what MOPAR car buyers want! Carlos Tavares apparently believes that the Biden Administration's NEW GREEN DEAL is the gospel! Frank Rhodes, Jr. needs to continue with his desire to purchase Chrysler/Dodge!
Absolutely
Stellantis has yet to sell any EVs in the US as of today. and dealers order vehicles for their lots. some places BEVs will sell well, others not so much. that BEV charger isnt on their Dodge web site as of now
Right. They built this disaster. They ripped off customers and took massive bonuses. Now they don't have customers.
9 years ago I was suckered by a fiance manager my revenge was I was able to convince at least 5 people not deal with that dealer
Kudos; sadly there were 50 democrats for every one you saved, they didn’t care about reputation with the 3 “F” business model.
My local dodge dealer in Tx has sent over 1mill worth of vehicles to auction instead of dropping the prices.
where the price dropped more than what the dealer wanted it too
The biggest issue with cjdr dealerships is this. They actually have model years 2023,2024,2025 of the same exact models‼️‼️that’s a problem. They need Stellantis to put some dealer cash on these asap!! Help get rid of them, as most are over 1 year on the floorplan. Also , they need to get the lease payments down ‼️ here in northeast leasing is 75% of business. Gr Cher , Ram, Wrangler and Durango lease prices have to come down !! Then they will clean up the inventory. I think they will figure it out. 💪💪
Nitrogen is the biggest scam ever. Normal air that we all breath is 78% nitrogen.
If Stellantis doesn’t cut sticker prices by $5-10K across the board the management has their heads buried in the sand. Almost none of their products are priced competitively. I argue $15K price cuts on anything over $60K. A $60K Grand Cherokee is similar to a $45K Telluride. Why would anybody buy a Jeep? For the same price you can get a larger more reliable Grand Highlander.
Face it, CDJR are doomed. I’m buying a Porsche.
If you could afford a Porsche, why would even consider a pile of garbage Chrysler Dodge Jeep or Ram product???
@@Kawasaki750triple2stroke i wondered that too
Greed destroys
well that is the way American business operates ..and appears to be the same worldwide.
Its about time this product gets a chance to get rid it's CEO!!!
Although Tavares has run this company into the ground by mismanagement and hid EV grab. I have very little to zero pity for the dealers as a great majority of them have taken advantage and are still taking advantage of prospective customers. At this point, I am not concerned if Dodge, Jeep, Ram and Chrysler go the way of Pontiac.
what EVs do they sell? so far as i can tell its 0 in the states
Greed is what hurt stellantis and the dealerships destoyed dodge. This EV coming up isnt going to save the day... OCM another on point awesome informative video.
Pride before the fall, smh!!!!!!
Chrysler will go the way of Studerbaker, Rambler, Packard, and Desoto. Sometimes, it is a good thing to say goodbye ✨️
Stellantis needs to go, Not Chrysler....
@Saiyan4658 No! Chrysler needs to go. It's a low quality American made product and bad management..
@@TheBigCheese-s3e ok bud 🙄
@Saiyan4658 Chrysler, Dodge Plymouth has a history of poor quality and being bailed out by the American taxpayers. Enough is enough! The automotive industry is highly competitive, and if a company is mismanaged, no longer profitable, and produces an inferior product, it should go out of business. 🤔
WILLIS✨️
@@TheBigCheese-s3e Hard to debate someone who is ignorant to the automotive industry but I’ll cover your points.
1. All of the major 3 took a bailout, yes even Ford… the only difference is they did the “bailout” before it was called on.
2. Inferior products and quality management is a problem for everyone. No manufacturer isn’t without multiple and major flaws. Toyota might be the best out there overall for reliability but they also don’t make a ton of high powered cars.
3. I have owned several types of manufacturers vehicles and by far the best ones I have ever owned were Dodge and Ram products. So your opinion isn’t a fact because you feel one way about a particular company.
Instead of just being extremely biased and not looking at the big picture, please do more research. You couldn’t comprehend the level of disaster in letting a major car company fail with the 80-90K job losses. Fiat didn’t manage the company super well but the brand was profitable and mostly made great vehicles. When Stellantis bought Fiat/Chrysler, the whole company is going under because for the push of the EV European market by Carlos. We can go on and on as long as you like, but i bet you won’t have anything useful to rebuttal.
YMMV no matter the brand.
OC,The problem with Stellantis is Tavares.Don’t forget he comes from the school of Carlos Ghosn.Slash,slash, and slash until the product becomes shit all the while collecting bonuses and hosting birthday parties in French palaces.This happened in Japan once upon a time and what did the Japanese do?They locked his ass up in jail.Stellantis must be led by an Engineer or the likes of a Bob Lutz.Someone who cares about the quality and value of the product. I just traded in my 2020 Pacifica S with 150k.Guess what it was a great vehicle and I never had a major problem with it.The vehicle being produced today is not the same and paying over 10k more for it is ridiculous.If Chrysler doesn’t right the ship,they will be gone soon.Mike the Greek
actually what you have described is the way business operates. cutting costs until it hurt is the modus operandi. also see Boeng. was a great engineering company till it merged/bought Mcdonald Douglas. now they have major quality problem (hmm,,, sounds like OEMs, only mot times the OEMs quality wont kill you unlike Boeng's will)
In my opinion the reason stellantis is pushing the EV cars here in the US is because it went extremely well in Europe where the government tells you what you can and cannot buy. They are hoping and assuming that our government is about to be to that point as well enforcing us to purchase EV
@@cfr3830 good point ! 🫡🇺🇸
well,.so far no EVs from Stellantis. course their current line up isnt selling well either
U know they are lying. And they need to clean house of this bullshit.
Any true auto experts here know that there isn't a good vehicle in the lineup period. They are all falling apart, failing, and just junk products. If anyone calls any Stellantis product quality, doesn't have a clue! The other manufacturers are building junk also. The whole industry is declining fast. You really need to point out the low low quality of DJRC vehicles to save people a lot of money and misery. There's not a car ever made that i haven't touched. My career dealt with everything.
so what was Toyota/Honda vehicles like? or Rolls Royce?
@DavidWiliams-r1g Older of all were good. It's the new models that went to crap. The automobile companies all merging into super companies now really hurt because one bad design flows through the rest. Then the pure outright greed. CEOs now are so focused on profits that they sacrificed quality.
A CDJR dealer located in Fort mill SC try to scam me out $5k they tried to take my money and not reflected on the documentation I don’t forget that.
They should not have 420000 units in stock if they were in the customers interest they would have been sold all along instead of having a fire sale to try to look good after it is to late
First and foremost Chrysler should have never been sold to an overseas buyer. Daimler Fiat Stellantis whoever. The millionaires and billionaires of the US should have not allowed it. Should have been kept as a genuine USA manufacturer. I personally have never bought a foreign car. I was raised driving Ford Chevy and Chrysler products. Never had a bad one.
Now I'm hearing that the Grandson of Chrysler wants to rescue the company. Where was he in 2009 when they went bankrupt?
Yes. Dr. Z and his cronies over at Daimler began the ruination even though there were some cool vehicles produced. Once Fiat stepped in we all shook our heads (Fiat, really?) and now basically a French conglomerate? How could anything good come from this?
Meh - shitty poorly run companies go out of business all the time. That’s how the herd gets culled
problem is many of OEMs products are made in the USA and havent been for over 30 years now. and to find out whether is domestic means figuring out where the vehicle comes from. Lots and lots are from Mexico
It’s almost as The Administration is protecting Tavares to push this EV garbage. Ugh.
Probably not "almost" they probably ARE....
A CEO job is to make sure all profits go to the shareholders , that's it , nothing else 😮
I really wanted a Challenger but couldn't stomach the price for a new one. Snagged myself a 2011 SRT8 Inaugural Edition with about 50,000 miles and a 6 speed for 20K. Seems like a better deal to me. Our local dealer is actually really good, but Stellantis pricing is a real problem, as we all know.
So many people will have enormous negative equity when it’s time to trade!!!
Lee Iacocca is rolling in his grave in disgust!!
Love the Videos First Off!! Im a CDJR Sales Manager at Dealership that never charger Markups even when dealer around us we making money hand over fist during Peak Covid, We sold Everything without a markup Hellcat Jailbreaks, TRX, Hellcat Durangos, and 392 included. My team and I "Owner Included" agreed that we have always done business the right way with our customers and will always do so!
What the other dealerships were doing was unethical 100% and they will see the reproduction of the actions.
What sucks is there is ethical people out there in this business like our staff and Stellantis is making them suffer as well.
I bought a certified used 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 limited with under 30,000 miles in 2022 for $38k; 6 weeks later somebody backed into the door and because of the Covid back up, it was gonna be eight months wait to have a body shop repair it. As full time nomad I needed a car so I traded it in on a used 2020 Jeep WK2 Trailhawk that has less options and features with extremely high mileage around 88,000. The advertise price of this vehicle was $28,000. I put $10,000 down and somehow I still owe $45,000 and this was a 4.5% low interest rate loan. The Jeep dealers will !@#$ you just as hard as the Dodge dealers as well. I’ll probably never be able to recover from this purchase financially.
About four months after I bought the Jeep Trailhawk the key fob stopped working I was under the impression that I only had one key fob and the emergency key in the fob on CJDR vehicles doesn’t work if the fob doesn’t send a signal to the computer it’ll set off the alarm system and disable the vehicle. Eventually, I found out there was a second key to the vehicle, but the dealer never gave it to me. It took the vehicle sitting a month to let me know that they actually had a second key for the vehicle and they would order me a replacement key, which I never got. I had to hitchhike 120 miles to the dealer to get the second key. There is other issues with this vehicle that I’ve had to repair myself. I’ll never go back to CJDR dealer again.
@@TheOffroadCamper Did you try to replace the battery in key fob
You got severely raped by the dealer; caveat emptor, hope you learned from this expensive lesson.
Carlos is oblivious to think that people want to buy that EV CRAP
whats nasty work is trying to turn Economy vehicles into luxury
You forgot to mention how the dealers screwed the customers with broken promises and lies. Telling them vehicle was sold or wrecked.
So glad to see you doing videos again, we want to express our sincere appreciation for all you do as a Mopar fan and bringing the truth about Stellantis and crooked dealers. Our local JDR dealership was not one of those dirtbag dealers so there are a few good ones out there. We just negotiated a great deal on a new Dodge Durango GT Plus and they treated us with total respect so there are some good dealerships out there. Our condolences for you and your family on the passing of your dad. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing you more in the future!
What stinks is it’s one thing for Ferrari or Porsche to do this stuff, but the typical Dodge customer is younger, less educated and less affluent. The slimy dealers know this and take huge advantage of kids. I know there’s sophisticated customers like Orange County here who also has a huracan, but he’s rare. These kids come in with their first or second job, dying for one of these purple or lime wide body hellcats, and instead of being responsible these dealers and a lot of these dealers did this, look at those kids like prime rib. Hook them up with a car then overcharge them by a hundred k and send them on their way to credit hell. Smiling the whole way. Used to be they’d hang an extra hundred or two. Now they ruin the kids for years.
Nissan just came out with a SUV called the Kicks and it’s $31,000. Who’s going to pay $52,000 for a Hornet? Seriously? How can so called professionals misread the market and the economy so poorly? Good God.
A study was done on human I.Q. And self perception. Long story short the people with higher I.Q.’s had a lower perception of self intelligence and the people with lower I.Q.’s had a much much higher self perception of intelligence.
I have a hard time feeling bad for anyone in the UAW, they are a large part of the reason domestic manufactures are moving production overseas.
What do you expect a company to do when the union demands 40 hours of pay, for 30 hours of work?
Take the company to court, for firing employees drinking and doing drugs in the parking lot during lunch (don't forget they are having serious build quality problems)?
The list goes on, and on
👆is 💯 Truth.
Cry me a river, UAW… no one cares.
Trump 2024 🤠
Quit depending on him he got selected man yall need to quit depending on a illusion that gonna help
Don’t forget making ALL the Trailhawk packages 4xe’s only.
Your dealing with a company that is based as a technology company. They have no interest in any platform based on traditional natural resource fuel power. They desire only elements based in battery cell platforms and nothing else. Our domestic automotive company they are in control of is over. Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles are being liquidated. This includes every single American job in this country. The leadership of the UAW is selling out the entire spectrum of the membership. The UAW has yet again sold their people down the river without a paddle or a boat. No differently than what happened to thousands just like me back in 2009.
I’m a Mopar guy thru and thru. However, I’m done with Dodge.😢. I’m looking at a 3500 crew cab and Ram is not even in the running. If I were to need a replacement for my beloved Scat Widebody, I’d get the Caddy Blackwing. So sad
a 350 crew cab isn a dodge, hasnt been for over a decades, its now a Ram
Don’t feel sorry for STELLANTIS nor the Dealerships, they are both at fault for their greedy deeds.
I am sorry, but the only way that anything will change for Dodge is for it to COMPLETELY go down. No one will ever change Stellantis. They have a mad men mission that, to them, they are on target. I doubt they will sell the company until It starts really hurting their other brand . Remember when Penske tried to buy Saturn and GM refused to sell it to him?
How long til the investors send a hit squad?
I tagged you in a Scraplife Garage video about the stole 170...with 61 miles on it. Its a rough watch because that car was cut up in cubes....
It was also a carbon fiber wheel car too
Im kind of out of the game, hence why I dont do a video...been working on a new thing lol
To hell with Stelantis.
One of my coworkers recently traded in her Grand Cherokee for the redesign GMC Acadia...so it looks like they're not getting repeat customers 🤷🏽
Yes, yes and yes!👍🏻
AMEN Brother!!!!!!!!
Customers created this problem, willing to paying huge markups, high interest rates, and insane payments. The manufacturer just worked the markup into the MSRP, they just followed the market trend. US government will just give them a bailout.
My father owned a Dodge dealership 1961-1969, a Pontiac, Buick, GMC dealership 1968-1980, a Ford dealership 1970-1980, NEVER sold a vehicle more than MSRP, if anything at a discount to be competitive. We had Hemi cars, 4 spd. trans am, the 1st mustang turbo’s, etc. My dad always told me the factory sells him the cars at a wholesale price and the difference between wholesale and MSRP was his probit. Also, the factory would give incentives on certain models so you could make more of a profit. I commented on this years ago, the factories should punish the dealers who sell over MSRP. Now as long as your selling vehicles for the factories they could care less about how. This is so sad. I could tell you amazine storys what Dodge use to give dealers back in the 60's, when Don Knotts was the spokesman. And had white hat sales. We went to the super bowl and partied with Dodge at the Statler hotel they rented.
Good morning! Might be interested in looking into stellantis dealership Red Rock of Watford City, North Dakota! Their sales manager posted racially derogatory statements on her social media and it is being brought to light!!😮
Stopped by my local Ram dealer last week to test drive the 2025 1500 Rebel. Had previously owned a “21” w/5.7 hem which was a fantastic truck. New truck was just as nice and largely unchanged except for the TT inline 6 Hurricane. Honestly had nothing against the engine going in and it drove great. Excellent power torque etc. post test drive spent 30 minutes pouring over the new engine hood up and also laid underneath. Final verdict: not confident in the overall quality/reliability of this engine. Plastic fittings abound next to high heat turbos and plastic tranny cover vs metal the list goes on. This engine is not in the same playing field as the outgoing platform which was far from perfect (stuck lifters/cracked exhaust manifolds…) . Im not a fanboy of brands and was really hoping to fall in love with the new engine. Didn’t happen. Side note, sales Mgr offered me $16k off MSRP to take it home. Wowzers😮 tables have turned. I politely declined the offer as the new tomato red interiors on the standard Rebel are hideous IMHO. Get the Rebel X or GT option package to avoid this color debacle and you get a console shifter where it belongs. Hope Im wrong about the Hurricane as I think Ram has the best 1/2 ton by a wide margin. Only time will tell but for now GX550 here I come, Gulp😂
2 mins ago is crazy
Maybe Tavares works for the E.U., DNC, and heck, maybe even the PRC government?
They don't call them "Criminal Chrysler" for nuttin!
i just cant make myself buy a CDJR. i love the brand dont like what they have become.
That is why I won’t buy GM orFord
No surprise; Glad to see workers and dealers standing up and telling cooperate office who the problem is. Also you don't mess with the UAW on their contracts and agreements. I hope it gets better but I don't see it happening anytime soon.
I think what you’re talking about is the truth and it’s happening all over the auto industry in the United States not just Dodge
We may be going back to the days of hot rodding. Buying a car with an engine like a turbo six, and swapping in a hemi V8.
Dealers need to be selling vehicles at cost to clear out inventory so they can sell vehicles that people want. They can make up the profit end fixing all the crappy quality in the vehicles that were sold.
What a laugh. They are despicable. The STEALERSHIPS are the ones demanding a ridiculous $75K for a fugly old Jeep. The average price of a Wrangler starts at an obscene $47,000 in every stealership in my state.
He's making the case for direct to consumer sales with certified service centers. Banks and Credit Unions can order and finance from their office .
This makes me proud to be an American.
As a 13 year dealer tech, the service department is only trying to empty your wallet. That service manager wants his numbers by any means necessary, they encourage the techs to be underhanded to sell work. When they get caught they have a rolodex of excuses to cover it up.
I might get some critcism. for this comment. but i have not liked anything CDJR has made since the 90s and 00s at least back then they had some variety in cars . Everything they have now can be purchased from another brand. They need to go put of business
So sickening to see an iconic American brand purposely run into the ground.
I’ve been a MOPAR guy my whole life. My last 2 vehicles have been Jeeps that I drove till the wheels fell off l and the last one literally it did lol. I’m a disabled veteran I can’t afford anything in the line and I refuse to pay that amount of money for any of that cheap jeeps and hell no on a Hornet. My opinion is Stallantis is purposely tanking the American Brands to prop up their foreign brands. It’s pretty damn obvious you can disagree if you want but it’s seems that’s the route they are taking.
And despite all this turmoil, new and used truck prices have barely come down.
Last Dodge ride I purchased was a 2020 Charger. Hightime customers are speaking up and make known we will not be manipulated and gouged. ☹
Will nEvEr buy dodge or Chrysler
I have a dream that in five or so years I will be able to buy a basic Muscle Car from Dodge at a fair price...of course in my world the United Sates is recovering from a depression that made what happened in Venezuela look like the 80's boom....but one can dream.
I had 7 Chargers, 1 Challenger, and 2 Jeeps since 2006. This was including my 2023 Widebody Scat Pack. I was so sickened by what Stellantis has become that I traded in my 2023 after 10 months. The sticker on that car was $68K. I was “lucky” Cadillac gave me $50K for it with 4600 miles. I didn’t even care about losing that much. It was me showing Mr Tavares that I am no longer a loyal Mopar buyer because of what that company has become.
Hope you got a CT4 or 5 "V". Been driving my Caddys for years and love them. My oldest 2020 XT5 70k miles and a great no issues vehicle to my 2024 CT4- lil' rocket that flies and corners like a race car. You'll love your Cadillacs. BTW Escalade has the best resale to deprecation ratios now and are really holding valve.
@@MG-sj1em I got a CT5V. Wanted the Blackwing but even used ones were in the $90’s.
I can’t wait to see dealerships being taken out of the buying equation!
Outside of high prices and low quality, everything is going great. What a wonderful company!
After 7 Dodge, Jeep products in my driveway over the years and none lasting more than 140000 miles I've been done with them for six years now. Never again and I saw this crap coming as well. Hate it for the dealers and workers but I'm done. Poor quality and sky high price. Done
20 billion in net profit for 2023? Staggering
I finally have to ask: What is that Ryobi thing with horns in the background?
It’s a glorious and very loud toy! Air horns! Check it out

I came back here after reading that Carlos is getting mad at the EU for considering rolling back on their EV mandate… going from required to recommended. He argues the relaxation of EV rules will hurt his business
Drama???. Yeah..Harley-Davidson. Same thing with crazy prices..they are selling toys. VERY expensive toys. $40000 for a CVO Road Glide... $1100 plus a month payment. And their customer base is aging out, younger folks aren't interested in motorcycles and Harley doesn't have an entry level bike any more. Great idea...
Government should never have pushed the sale of Chrysler Corp. to Fiat. Big mistake we’re paying for now.
Maybe the dealer council could clean up their own backyard first. They literally stole from their customers and laughed in the face of their customers. The dealers rode the profit wave too and until it suddenly stopped ... now they cry? Kudos to the honest transparent dealers that valued customers as much as profit
Brad, I'm truely waiting it out, in hope that Jeep prices get hacked in half (50% off) on current prices, and weigh the decision of purchasing a lot rot jeep wrangler or gladiator and building up the new battery with what I want, tires I want, and fluids I want. I think this might be my wish. Love the channel and love the videos
Getting rid of the hemi? How stupid?
Can’t blame companies for taking advantage of s-upid customers. It is great to see ppl come together to not buy now. Even though it’s mainly been forced by ppl going broke after overpaying.
@ocmotivator
What do you think of this deal is it good or bad
It’s a 2021 charger scatpack widebody
Msrp is 56,345 back in 2021
Sell price is 47,000
They have me at 48,500 out the door
And it only has 29,000 miles
Good deal or bad deal?
As a Ford man. I hate seeing Dodge fall apart again. I would buy a Dodge if they wasn't so over priced. But I'm happy with my Mustang and F-150. But it would be nice to see Dodge back on the NASCAR track and building real cars and trucks again
I think the only reason they sold any high dollar Wagoneers was because of the McIntosh entertainment systems.
Sergio Marchionne was the best CEO of FCA in recent years. He really got CDJR in a great position.
How about the 1.2 million Ram trucks that are being recalled!! Way to go Dodge
