The Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead!

BEVs are coming. BEVs will rule.

IMHO this will happen, particularly for affordable-transportation vehicles.

A lot of people want what BEVs provide without realizing BEVs provide it.

I keep telling myself that every day when I mount up the Lightning, "I know I need this. Ford needs this, but I KNOW I must need this?"!

Stallantis is circling the drain, nothing more.

Objectively, I can't argue that, Gary. Some popular brands will go down with them unless some software Billionaire wants to buy them for funsies?

The now-fired CEO of Stellantis famously cut funds for product development. For a year, Stellantis had industry leading profit numbers. They were the darlings of Wall Street. Money flowed like wine. Now they are scrambling to survive. You cannot not (sorry for the double negative) invest in future product in the auto industry. It is like taking a knife to your own throat.

That seems to be an issue across corporate America. I suppose drug companies are mostly an exception, they make all their money on new products.
At a large store chain my mother worked at, when "The Mall" was built in the 80s, and the store moved there, the initial plan was to build the store so it could later be expanded to a 2nd story, but the store manager cut that part of the plan, getting a bonus out of "saving money" but that meant that location couldn't add the furniture department it was missing. I'm sure similar stuff happened across the company, now the chain is down to like 6 stores and shrinking across the country, and most probably think it's completely gone.
