No one will hand down an electric Charger to their kids. Why? Because after 5 to 8 years it needs a new battery so the car is totaled because the cost of a new battery exceeds the value of the car.

[@lisam4503]

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

Why is this CEO not looking to the past for true inspiration for the future. The Dodge Polara, Monaco, and Coronet nameplates were the full-size luxury and/or and the Police cruiser. Leave the 2 door models for performance models. How about producing more models like the A-Body, B-Body, C-Body, and E-Body variants to appeal to more people and their interests.

[@speedyserbian]

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

[@marcusjohnson5839]

OC Motivator did a good job pointing out why Ford and Chevy are able to continue making V-8’s, meanwhile Dodge is acting like they have to go cold turkey in a full blown push for fuel economy.

[@CatzAzz]

Sounds like a yes man. Dodge is sinking, grow a pair & stand up to Tavares. Tell him what Americans want & it isn't an EV. Bring back the Hemi. Dodge has become an embarrassment. Being you're the CEO do your job & make Dodge respectful again.

Stallantis is too Blame. So glad I bought a 23 scat 6spd. Even if it is slower, it's still more fun

Thank you RacerX for your great interview with the new Dodge CEO. That had to be exciting. Looking foward to the new performance vehicles from Dodge, seeing & hearing them in person, & better yet, test driving them.....especially the high hp/tq Banshee!

I’m curious about the security features. I’m certain bad actors will not want to touch these things, but would love to learn more about that as we get closer. Great interview!!

I went for my dream car the 1965 GTO tri power 4sp beautiful and used your code. X I like the fact you got to sit down with the new CEO. My biggest concerns is Dodge still going to support V8s? It seems like Dodge wants to wash their hands of what made them great. Crate engines, high performance parts there has been no mention of any new stage kits I mean come on there is a hundred thousand V8s out there at least. Matt knows the history hopefully he can read the tea leaves and get this thing turned around.

The V8 is dead he would not mention it.

[@horseathalt7308]
