Stellantis MOVES RAM 1500 Production AWAY From UAW to Mexico

[@billgoodwin8742]

They might want to re-think that, Trump is promising tariffs.

[@josiah172]

Yeah I don’t think this will work well for them. Those tariffs will hurt

[@Bless0ne]

I don't think they care

[@spone9938]

Tarrifs will make prices go up for consumers

[@Bless0ne]

@@spone9938 I agree

[@braapinthecommies]

​Go to Japan and tell me how tariffs hurt their consumers when you look at their vehicle prices. You don't know what you're talking about.

[@jeffb5713]

And trump will Tariff the shit out of them

[@cecil5152]

Trump will tariff them back to the USA

[@shekharmoona544]

Then cost the end user more and not differentiate price between domestically made or foreign made. The other issue is the trade block agreements would not allow a tarrif.

[@Juice_knuckle]

I work for Stella in Toledo, I got a Gladiator and this thing is so cheap. You can tell they just skimp and over charge. I'm embarrassed honestly.

[@BBDragon66]

I hope Mexico likes Ram trucks.

[@SlimeFive]

They love em

[@scottgrzymkowski]

I witnessed the saltiness first hand! Spent six weeks on the picket line a year ago and when we returned, the company had sharpened their teeth. I feel sorry for those folks after 41 years. The death rattle was pretty loud for me to get out of there so I did.

[@nkimokc1]

We still will not buy that over priced trash 🇺🇲

[@drdetroitwheels]

Time to get rid of Carlos Tavares time to get rid of Mike elkin Sean Pain and if they don't they won't have a company in the USA

[@JonAikenTT]

Left GM to go to Ram after they moved to Mexico but sounds like I'll be moving to Ford now!

[@RichGT350r]

Let them go. The quality stinks anyway!

[@shekharmoona544]

Wouldn't a trade block agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico not allow tarrifs?

[@userundefined01]

Lol, didn't Shawn Fein where a shirt that said "Trump is a scab?" Good luck getting support from Trump, lol. Shawn Fein is the worst union leader I've ever seen.

[@markst.germain9286]

Last time I saw that guy he had a t-shirt on that said Trump is a scab. And now Trump is saving the Auto industry with threats of 100% tariff

[@bladengutz2042]

It’s funny how people run that trap and then have to eat crow 😂

[@aphil527]

Now Fain has to go Kiss Trump behind and Make up with Carlos. He has really made it worst

[@steven4315]

No he doesn't, Trump is fixing to slap tariffs on imported autos. Stellantis can make it here or try to sell those trucks to Mexicans.

[@MrHemikid426]

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great example of how to ruin sales of a popular SUV. Middle-class folks bought these and paid from 30 - 50k for these trucks. Now they start at 45k and go to almost 90k. Returning customers are not going to pay this. Now you see slow sales and lots are full of these SUVs.

[@jeffreyhamlin2971]

AHHH the fresh smell of Tariffs are in the air. Maybe Stellantis think Trump is bluffing or something.

[@Getoffyourassandgetyours]

USMCA says you’re wrong

[@markdubois4882]

The union did it to themselves.

[@markdubois4882]

The workers and vehicle buyers are the ones that ultimately lose out.

[@joshup]

No they didn't

[@markdubois4882]

@@joshup Reminds me of the 14 1/2 week garbage strike in Windsor, Ontario in 2009. The public sector tried to bully the city for cradle to grave benefits, so the city farmed their jobs out to a private sector non-union outfit, saving the city $3M a year.

This!

Trust me bro it’s the Parts & UAW employees

I wish Chrysler was American owned again. Jeep Dodge Ram vehicles are riddled with problems and way over priced

[@dannystidham2891]

Weather the law talks to orange man or not, all you big channels talking bout stellantis should try n organize some videos together for the orange man. Get his attention. Stellantis is bleeding american jobs like crazy n those workers need help.

[@alanb70]

Unbelievable! Everyone’s getting laid off…I just did a month ago.

[@aphil527]

They are making sure we reach capacity by slowing the line down so they can send so called overflow to Mexico. Before this contract models was supposed to go to Warren Truck.

[@shekharmoona544]

I was just about to call out the BS of an overflow plant if the plant isn't at full production.

[@streamingdemon2522]

They can add models, go back to v8s, switch management, manufacture here or there.. It wont matter.. Prices are waayy to high and will not go back.. The consumers have chosen to PERMANENTLY leave

[@josephbell9001]

From what i heard that warren truck was supposed to get the over flow from SHAP but they changed they're minds about it.

[@TheEXIT207]

This shit makes me sick.

[@mrreddog]

Warren Truck is just under 8 miles "Drive Distance" from SHAP (Sterling Hgts Assembly Plant), Ive lived 2 miles from SHAP for 30 years.

[@ronaldmoore8131]

TSAP/TNAP cut shifts because the jeeps are not selling - massively overpriced. Dealers are not moving inventory and therefore minimal orders to the assembly plants. WTAP DS Classic was supposed to end at end of 23 MY. They extended it 1 year. The reasons it was killed this year were not known to me but these vehicles were selling because they were ~10 grand cheaper.

[@j0ker808]

Learning nothing from Toyota

[@cwdoub]

JNAP, Jefferson Ave North Assembly Plant and Mac Ave Assembly.

[@bladengutz2042]

When Trump slaps them tariffs on them they will be back 😂

[@genconex]

Cost is substantially lower in Mexico. The Mexican assembly line workers make $2.60 on average per hour. American workers make $17 on average per hour. That's huge savings for them. An American will cost them $35,360 vs $5408 in Mexico to build a vehicle. Almost 1:7 labor cost difference. ----- Stellantis is not an American company. They can opt to build wherever they want. They can decide to no longer sell in the States. There is no "Big 3" anymore. Big 3 would indicate 3 domestically owned vehicle manufacturers.

[@Pjjp56]

They can save more money by not shipping their Products back to the US where they will lot rot. See how many 80K pickups they sell to their beloved 2.65 an hour employees. Great business model, Tavares is worth 40 million a year alright.

[@AnthonyBlalock-r6d]

I work for a CDJR. This is not good.

[@shekharmoona544]

Economy of scale theory says the more production you can make in a certain space of time without increasing cost would produce the cheapest product to the consumer. Something totally different os happening and needs to be investigated thoroughly.

[@MrHemikid426]

I've worked in unions since 2007, and one thing I have learned is that the company will only allow what they want to happen. What i mean is that before they get squeezed by the union, they will move, sell, or close. When the UAW announced the record contracts, I knew there were bad things going to happen in the future. I hope I'm wrong, but time will tell if the new contract is going to keep jobs in the USA.

[@nascarnut00]

The reason is come next Uaw contract they can continue to build rams in Mexico if the uaw wants to go on strike again

[@mcostin582]

Trump

[@Daybird12]

They'll be moving it back too. Watch what happens.

[@mahidikarif2123]

We have two paint shops and two body shops the Warren Truck. WTAP is made to build two different vehicles. Before Stellantis took over the overflow of Ram was scheduled for Warren Truck.

[@MichealC]

Hello Butter, just to let you know that When Trump # (45) was in the office, there was a no strike clous in are contract. So no, we could not strike at that time. Lol, but there were times I wish we did. Great review.

[@ljtowers5161]

Can't wait for Stellantis to grab another L in tariffs

[@oriontheraptor8119]

That isn’t gonna be a good idea much longer

[@The1Karking]

Michigan voted for President Trump. He will tax them. 😂

[@Ruphus7]

Stop with feelings idea. Business is Business. The problem is and has been Stellantis management. The US does not ship vehicles to Egypt. Thats not a job loss. Job layoffs are saving the company on the backs of the workers. And the bottom line is... again bad management, with no new products. And stopping discontinuing products before you have a replacement. And please stop crying about the UAW contract. That is not a factor

[@Pjjp56]

Sell it in India and Brazil, you know, where they sent all of the Engineering and Design to make the over priced Truck. Stellantis expects their once loyal customers to buy from them after they in fact put them out of work with outsourcing? Think again Carlos, I’d buy a Toyota first.

[@drdetroitwheels]

Hey hey brother it's Carlos I tell you the horsepower wars are on and most people don't know what you know and I know it's really on Big Time

[@TinCupGLP]

No one wants E. V. Junk

[@Bless0ne]

I don't seem like Trump's tariffs are going to scare Stellantis

[@steven4315]

Stellantis will soon be paying tariffs on that Mexican (stuff)

[@DJ2226]

Stellantis ain't paying crap, they are going to shove those tariffs onto us in the form of higher MSRPs and find other areas even cheaper to build in. They have absolutely no intention on doing anything but cutting costs to the bone.

[@rogerrussell9544]

On the few they manage to sell.

[@131313griffin]

Nothing against Trump but he can put tarrifs on and Stellantis will still make money building in Mexico.Wages,legacy costs,enviromental regulations plus too many more advantages to name that Mexico has over the US and Canada.

[@candknagy5427]

This is one of the reason why I will never ever buy a Ram Dodge again what I have I will keep until I have to get rid of them and I’ll buy a ford or gm

[@drdetroitwheels]

I heard from one of our friends that they are going to make a V8 more than likely and it'll be a dual overhead cam variable valve system but not a hemi🎉🎉🎉

Do you have any contacts about the Direct Connection stage 3 release? Is that dead in the water? I've msg TK but he just likes my comment and doesn't say anything. Hoping the like is hope!

[@billburger3260]

I 100% believe in the freedom of speech, and you have the right to call Trump whatever you want. Just seems kinda odd that you refer to him as "orange man" any yet you are stating that most of the real problem started when "sleepy Joe" was in office. Again, you have the freedom of speech, but seems to me (my freedom of speech), that you should show a bit more respect to the guy that is trying to bring the jobs back here via tariffs.

[@crispyone2564]

I’d bet that all said and done they pay 10x less down there. Every single thing they do down there is super cheap and no regulations. It’s not just labor. My dad did controls programming late 90s/early2000s in Mexico for GM. He said they have entire projects built for the workers and they bus them back and forth to the plants. They build the plants in the poorest areas so they can basically pay them nothing but give them housing.

[@josephbeltran9472]

Why in God's green earth would union Go against trump now you have no job @ trump has to save your ass ! These trucks are way over priced 8o k @ 8% or higher you have to live in the truck to afford it!
