If Tavares walked from his golden parachute, I wonder if he’s in the running for VW NA CEO

I guess you could say: Stellantis is cooked.

Definitely recommend using a meat thermometer before you take a bite, whoever dines on Stellantis is getting food poisoning.

Seems like shareholders should be demanding a breakup. Jeep and RAM are almost certainly worth more than the company as a whole.

Stellantis just doesn’t have the money to develop the next generation of either ICE, Hybrid or EVs.

nissan loves letting Europeans run them into the ground, maybe it’s Tavares’ turn.

Maybe the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance can become the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi-Stellantis Alliance to consolidate the cookage.

Whatever money they’re losing, they can make it up on volume.

This is just a silly statement and is not based upon any reality known to current worldwide automotive manufacturing with the rare exception of a few of the Chinese EV companies. Applying this to Stellantis is nonsensical.

Just look at VW and their biggest worldwide market (China) in the past 10 years and let us all know how that volume über alles strategy works. Same thing for Ford, GM and almost everyone else worldwide.

Volume has been dead for well over 10 years for companies with legacy factories, environmental regulations, labor agreements and actual shareholders (i.e. not Tesla). This does not apply to the Chinese companies that have none of those concerns and are free to pump out all the throwaway volume they want via forced labor with unending and cheap natural resources untethered to the environment, all sold to an insatiable customer base of 1.4 billion people at prices that are fully subsidized by an authoritarian government.

What nonsense.

Maybe @max_g needed to include /s.

I thought so as well, but unfortunately he actually meant that in the context of the worldwide “Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi-Stellantis Alliance,” and not the CDJR failures on volume.

“Why can’t we be friends? Why can’t we be friends?”

Cue in Rodney King: Can’t we all get along?

PS: /S

There’s also Max’s law which states that trolls like him are muted and ignored.

A Hellcat sounds great!!

Still no permanent replacement for Tavares, but more leadership changes at Stellantis
