if i remember correctly from the last time i worked on a brand new grand wagoneer, there is legitimately no dipstick. no way to check the oil level, without running the car until it’s warm, then letting it sit with the battery on for 10 minutes. and they are notorious in our shop for throwing low oil level lights for no reason, then being extremely picky about clearing the light. i’m personally genuinely disinterested in anything involving that kind of “innovation.” to be honest though, i’m disinterested with every dodge after working on them.

[@widsquard]

When I used to be a lot attendant in a Dodge service center it was horrifying to see the quality get smashed over a decade. The older 300s hold up way better than the newer ones with electrical gremlins (not saying that the old ones are that good to begin with), a wagoner with less than 1000 miles having an issue with the rear door, a 60,000 mile ish front wheel drive cherokee with the tranny slipping really bad, and my personal favorite: an 8 mile eco-diesel ram with a check engine light already on. And don't get me started with those garbage pacifica minivans, especially the hybrid ones. I have seen several with very low miles come in with a hybrid system failure or the stop start technology which is bad to begin with not doing it's job or stalling in an intersection. The craziest thing though was a man who had to get a 3rd engine put in his 392 charger because they kept burning out.

I'm a fan of Dodge cars and honestly I fully expect that this was such a terrible presentation because they already got wind that the push for EV's is toast, about a month ago and they are already rebooting the machinery and supply chains necessary to build a real muscle car, again. Ford already announced it isn't going through with its battery manufacturing plant construction and EV demand seems poised to drop off.

[@Thumper68]

[@Angel7black]

I think we’re gonna have to get passed this mentality. With emissions and climate change we’re gonna need to shift to fuel efficient engines, and a turbo inline 6 is wayyy more than enough and we’ve known this since the 2JZ. Hell im surprised the new mustang GT doesnt have an ecoboost V6 like the Raptor and keep the V8 to a GT500/Cobra trim. At this point we’re arguing over sound preference, a twin turbo V6 would develope power easier than a NA V8 would just do to the fact that the engine would already be built for boost and have easy and cheaper access to more boost and respond better to different upgrades. Whats the issue? What even is a muscle car, is it just a V8 is there anybody that really thinks a mid engine vette is anything short of a supercar? Is a 458 with a ferrari V8 a muscle car? Is a GNX not a muscle car cause it was a sixer? Is a musclle cause just a boat sized car with a big ass engine that makes a lot of boost? Cause imo the mustang hasnt been a muscle car in a long ass time and the only real muscle car was the challenger. Muscle cars have been dead a long time, V8’s will eventually be dead also and while it sucks thats life, its not supposed to stay static and things have to change and for actual reasons even if we wanna cover are eyes and ears about how man made climate change isnt real. Japan and Europe showed 6 cylinders is more than good enough, idk why its such an issue for americans

[@pheflin2985]

Idk guys if it’s any like them new BMWs it’ll be fast on the street if it’s tunable

[@Edge_Slade]

Man until you own a v8 you really can’t speak for others. There’s something about the cold starts, the resonation through the body of the car, the raw torque, and most importantly, the reliability and simplicity. There’s a reason old BMW 5 series go for 3k on the used market and a v8 mustang of the same year are double that.

I’m pretty sure it’s because Toyota is based in Japan and sell a lot of cars there. Since Japan is an Island country it struggles with electricity more than European and American countries. Toyota wants to make cars that have engines because of this, thus why they aren’t going along with the EV industry

[@antilogism]

@@darkshinobi3030 Interesting thought but here's what I found. JP only accounts for 16% of automobile unit sales but huge 37% of revenue. That disparity likely stems from their financial services, marine, housing, agraculture & medical business units being strong there. The US too has very limited electric in most of the country but it's not too bad in former industrial areas. That has a lot to do with infrastructure planning expecting a fall in electric usage over time, rather than the massive, rapid increase. Overall JP is at 7.4 MWh/capita and the US at only 4.5 so, at the moment Japan uses about 60% more per person already. I suspect that both infrastructures will need a massive refit.

yea but if Stellantis would invest then the other options wouldn't be so pricey. the real issues is Stellantis isn't making any $$$$ on EV's so now they are pulling back. they got into the EV market to make $$$. that's it. if it was to further the advancement of ev's they would have built a Charging network. but they dint and tesla is murdering them in sales every year, mostly in due to the charging network. There are plenty of companies working on new battery tech that doesn't require these materials. with how many EV's they have pumped out in a short time frame, there is no issue with supply chain. They just are realizing they aren't going to make $ on it. same with the hybrid cars/trucks. There is a reason most cars still use standard combustion engines. its the most cost effective. These companies aren't driven by you, but $$$. BTW if you don't know Stellantis owns most of the car companies we know here which is part of the issue to begin with.

@@nicholaswilkerson501 yea but the new battery tech I’ve at least looked into still requires metals and that means more mass mining. But mining isn’t the only issue. A charging network will require metals and a obscene improvement to the grid to not have rolling black/brown outs constantly. Also making that network will require precious metals and our grid is mostly powered of coal and other non renewable resources. So people who think they are driving totally green seem to ignore the fact that the electricity used is created through non green sources. Also another issue is depleted battery waste.
