I❤ your positivity ab this 2024 EV newbie! the design is bad ass!

[@crazylegson2]

Biggest problem is the pricing. How many people can really afford a $1500+/mo. car payment. This is exactly why a lot of cars aren't selling well right now. Even if you make $100k/yr, unless you don't have to pay for housing, the numbers don't make sense.

[@DV-ou1yu]

@@crazylegson2 Even w/o mortgage or rent, this is dumb purchase along with any new vehicle at modern prices lol

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I'd agree with you, but the amount of people that are buying these $100k luxury trucks and pay to fuel them makes me think there's a decent amount of people that either do have the money, or are willing to make a sketchy financial choice because they want it badly enough.

[@crazylegson2]

@@MattMaranMotoring I'm not a data scientist, but I think that the statistical info for both types of buyers is out there. It would be interesting to see, and would shed more light on what's happening in the car market. Maybe an episode to consider 😁

[@Pozzibilitiiz]

​​​@@crazylegson2 there's a sucker born every minute. The issue for these automakers is that they're running out of them. Their usual spaced out consumers are either completely upside down on their current car, completely broke, or just flat out unable to get a loan due to bad credit at this point. What goes up must come down. Just look at Stellantis and Nissan running on fumes

[@pazirandeh]

A great looking car, and a good review, but I still have no idea who buys one at $70k+? If you're a performance or tech head, you're getting the Model 3P, if you're a muscle car fan, the sci-fi sounds don't compete with an actual V8. If you're a green head, this has the efficiency of an EV truck and you'll go elsewhere. Perhaps the old retiree who likes the nostalgia, class, and has the cash - they'll go for the R/T.

[@doziershaw9765]

Lease only for over priced electric vehicles since they will depreciate faster than gas cars

[@AS-oo4gv]

It will be the same treatment the Hummer EV got. Some early adopters buying the first units, the rest buy/lease ones the ones on the lot which will definitely require a noticeable discount in order for them to be moved.

Matt! Thank you, thank you, thank you for an outstanding review! This is how real enthusiasts (12:00) who actually appreciate and understand cars respond to innovation and evolution. Its exhausting listening to the endless cookie cutter whining about what this vehicle isnt. Thank you for a genuine review that represents how to professiinally present a product. Im a current Challenger owner and lifelong fan, but I still can commend this effort! It sucks having to go first in any arena but to do it like this, you really can't fault them. Most of those complaining really don't understand the laws and policies that govern the industry. This new Charger is the embodiment of "Adapt and Overcome"!. I love it and plan on owning one as soon as I'm able to. This isnt something Dodge wanted, its what they were forced to do. However, they did it in the truest to the heritage fashion! More so, they (again) did it first! Thanks for all your great work and attitude.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for the comment Jason, I'm glad you appreciated the video! It definitely is tiring hearing the same complaints from everyone so your comment was very refreshing to see haha.

[@martinstyblo6355]

I just saw 2 other videos with say less positive thoughts about this new car. As a Dodge fan (silly European here) I hoped that this would be a kind of car to save money for when we will be forced to drive EV's only. The styling looks good, there's strong legacy definitely. But there is still a question whether they really do better to overcome the "just a transport appliance feel" that sadly comes with all EV's to me. At this moment I just hope to enjoy our humble V6 AWD and 5.7 Shaker as long as we can...

[@themidnighttavern6784]

Matt gets it. Some people have such an unfair bias against EVs that they'll attack them over everything. But Matt understands. This is our future. It's better to have vehicles like this that at least keep EVs interesting. To be fair, I also support the mach-e which a lot of enthusiasts don't, and would love to see an electric small mustang hatch that took styling inspiration from the foxbody or something to be sold alongside the normal mustang and Mach-e. So my opinions anger some other enthusiasts.

[@BlackHillsMotoAndrew]

I like the way it looks but pretending it has sound is silly. ICEs have sound because of what they are. There’s also many points I don’t hear discussed enough. Mining impacts, equipment used to mine, equipment used to transport material, refine material, transport material again, transport after the vehicle is created. In general, unnecessary air travel, 1000s of planes flying half empty all day every day, people having three kid families and the impact of needed food and goods, the production and transport needed to sustain that, the militaries of the world operating 24/7, the rich flying for unnecessary reasons blah blah I know. I just can’t get behind this trend. Respect tho Matt. Love your videos and have been watching for many years. Keep it up!

Always been a mopar or no car person, but i might have to switch to chevy or toyota if CDJR doesnt reinstate the hemi. Assuming these will tank in sales as well as the trucks with the i6 and they bring the v8 back

[@MrSlowestD16]

It's pretty cool as far as EV's go I guess, but I think I'd rather have the Taycan, and TBH I don't want any of the high priced ones until the depreciation eases up. And the other problem is current HC owners aren't going to jump ship to this. They may build a new fan base around this, IDK, but the current HC owner base isn't going to go for this, so I'm curious to see how sales are, especially with the EV craze dying down and interest being so high.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

The Charger EV is a product no one asked for - and they certainly didn't want it replacing the Hemi or Hellcat. There's NOTHING WRONG with having a Charger EV, but the core audience is disgusted by the probability of losing the HEMI and Hellcat altogether only to have it replaced by a 6 cylinder or EV. Either of those is seen as a downgrade. Thing is, the Charger EV is still moving forward with the digitization of the car itself. These things are slaved to the dealer and can mostly only be repaired by them - it's all software and firmware now. Not gauges and mechanisms. I don't think people are going to buy the revised gas version of the Charger EV simply because of the high prices and markups of the new platform. Dodge better have very aggressive leasing and financing. 0% APR for 74 months lol. $6000 down.

[@joeking8262]

I liked the fake engine noise on the Hyundai Ioniq 5N, but here it just feels cheap and very tacky.

Dodge could have immediately started working on these things when they first heard about the Ionic 5 N. Hopefully the Banshee version gets these things.😕

[@314jeepsnmopars3]

Your videos are what helped convince me to get my '23 5.7 Challanger, but I can't see me moving to something like this in the future. I think it looks good style wise, but the EV thing just doesn't do it. And I had higher hopes for it's not very loud and doesn't really sound like it builds up as you go faster. It's 1 ton heavier and less range, while it's quick. It's not very fast for the power it has for the price it starts at among the trims. My 5.7 may be slower, but the 345 cubic inches feel much more soulful than this. It has cassic styling with a modern touch and modern electronics. Maybe the Hemi will come back with changes in the administration and Tavares out and Kuniskis coming back to Ram. I want to hope Mopar will live on as more than just a parts supplier for enthusiasts. But thank you for the review Matt, never disappoint in your delivery and concise way to explain the features of the cars you review.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching! I agree, I was expecting it to be a little louder too. I think the inline-6 coming next year will help this car for sure among the people that like the styling and don't need a V8, but aren't ready for all the electric stuff yet. We'll see.

[@314jeepsnmopars3]

@MattMaranMotoring in the promo videos of the Charger, it did seem like the exhaust was louder and tended to sound like it was revving out. In most of the video reviews, it seems like it's a more constant sound like a CVT makes most engines sound. And I get these have a single speed transmission, but it feels like it doesn't add to the sense of speed like I expected it to. Hopefully with an update they make make it have more character to it because I don't think it's a bad thing, I just don't think it's utilized half as well as I expected, and I was trying to be more open and optimistic lol I do think the inline 6 will sell better and give the car more character. I am worried that the car will still be significantly heavier than the Challanger with it already being so much larger and weighing close to 5,800lbs as an EV. My base R/T is around 4,200lbs so if this is heavier than even a Hellcat it certainly won't change the boat allegations lol Part of me is optimistic the Hemi or a V8 will return with the changes in Stellantis and the need for them to find success. But, we'll see.

This was so much fun to see--and even hear! Wow, what a change from the 2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 I used to own! In my personal opinion, the exterior styling of this new generation is my favorite out of all current production EVs. Thanks for this awesome video! 👍👍🏁
