Ex-Chrysler CEO warns EVs are ‘not going to make it’ 

I agree 👍 💯 %

I agree, EVs are not a real issue here. Just another polarizing talking point for each party. Smooth brains want to die on this hill

@@GunnyMac360 EVs ARE a big issue when the gov wants to force them on us.

This won’t ever happen

And before someone says Trump did it, so can Biden. No, trump DID NOT close the border, the courts ruled the president does not have the power and overturned Trumps executive order. It has to come from congress.

Mr. Magoo goes to Washington.

He doesn’t care, he got paid🤷‍♂️🤡🌎

More like an Ant Brain

No way sir he knows exactly what he's done he did it on purpose!!!

Cabbage brain Trump? He's been doing very poorly during his rallies. Performance is akin to being "older" than Joe Biden. I feel bad kinda.

Facts

​@@TRAVIESO_NAI wouldn't blame him. There was absolutely no reason why Chrysler should have sold in 1998. It was flush with cash and on good financial footing, for once.

@@danw6014 See my comment RE Bob's tenure @ Chrysler. He was basically made the Captain of the Titanic hours after it struck the iceberg. Bob Eaton was the one who was duped into selling out to a nearly insolvent Daimler in 1998.

Yes, so let's all listen to this failure of a CEO on EVs 🙄

@@TRAVIESO_NA Big Facts 💯

do elaborate on your feelings.

If it's forced, it's not an "option," is it?

The Great Henry Ford once said, you can have any color you want as long as it is black. It was THE option. The people wanted more..

@@KoryBrooks Ford never said that, but keep on believing what the MSM feeds you.

Bring BYD, NIO, Huawei, Xpeng, Xiaomi, etc from China! more advanced and affordable. US EVs are expensive at $70k and credits are a fools game! Bring Chinese EVs and Jobs to the US! Ill buy the BYD Seagull...250 mile range for $11k- size of a Chevy Bolt.

If you know your history, in '79 Chrysler never actually received any funding from the federal government what they got was loan guarantees kinda like FHA, VHA home mortgages are. Loans were issued by private lenders, by backed by the federal government (co-signer kind of thing) So if Chrysler had defaulted the feds would had to paid off those loans and taken any assets that Chrysler had. Under Iacocca those loans were paid off in less than 5 years, so no federal money was ever used. In the late 2000's both GM and DaimlerChrysler had sold shares to the federal government and had to restructure (ordered by the bankruptcy court) their long term plans. In fact the federal government actually received dividends on some of those investments within a few years until those companies could buy them back at the current market price. A short time later DaimlerBenz (parent company of Mercedes benz) sold off their Chrysler interest to Fiat/Stellatis for a major loss (DB paid 36b sold it for about 8b). Besides Fiat had plans to reestablish itself in the U.S. market, after it had pulled out in the 80's. So by buying Chrysler it already had a dealer network in place and started selling their cars at present Chrysler dealers. The banks actually got federal money. Congress bailed out A.I.G mainly because it held the majority of the retirement investments for the members of Congress.

Yes. The bailing out of corporations and banks is socialism for the rich...and no one seems to complain about it unless it benefits the poor.

Idk I sure do see a lot of chargers and challengers Rams and 300s on the road.

You must live under a rock. Late model mopars sell like crazy

Really are you serious the economy is around 30 trillion a year. The government brings in around 4 trillion in revenue. But the government spends 6 trillion . your 2 trillion in the hole so he has to print money .

Because printing more deficit $$$ stimulates the economy but causes massive inflation which leads to high interest rates to borrow $$$. Much of the Deficit spending is being used to pay for government subsidies to fund one of the great socialist EV mandate scams ever perpetrated on the American people - Obribens green new deal is a total complete socialist scam against every citizen

Your ignorance is impressive. But not surprising given your history.

@@Dennis-ff2pf Are you dense …

They get to choose what breaks the camels back

biden IS NOT NUTS. He JUST ALLOWS HIS "MASTER obama" GUIDES him HOW TO RUN THE COUNTRY TO THE GROUND and THAT'S HOW THEY BOTH WILL GAIN.

@@IRideAlone Corrupt and senile is possible at the same time, look at Pelosi.

Biden should be a nursing home(Shady Pines), getting his diapers changed and eating all the ice cream he wants.

Please it is FAR, FAR, FAR beyond Biden. This is the treasonous democrats who openly hate the concept of "Making America Great Again" and will do anything to stop it. Nobody who claims to love the USA should ever for a nano-second consider voting for a democrat.

I finally went out to eat at a restaurant for lunch, it's been a while and I wanted something nice. My bill cost $50. Crazy. I guess I'm sticking to homecooking for a while.

Crazy how brainwashed and complacent you “Americans” are, some of you are starting to wake up to reality though, “number one country in the world” maybe seven decades ago, now its the worlds laughing stock.

Well, in reality, that’s all you need🤷‍♂️

@@Already100 Maybe if you’re just trying to get by and survive because you have no other choice.

@@Already100 I'm glad you know what I need. With that insight you should be president

Tesla has been selling EVs before Biden gave tax breaks

HOW DARE YOU!😂

Electric vehicles will give the Chinese our auto industry. Just say no...

Dementia? Have you heard trump lately? What a choice we have!

​@@gstlb🤔 They're wildly different.

We barely have a today!

Exactly, everything is nice when it is new. At least you can repair an older ICE vehicle relatively cheaply. an electric vehicle not so much. The new battery is almost as much as the entire car. Gonna be a pile of EV's that can't even be recycled, as scrap value is worthless.

Isn’t this the same for combustion engines when they get old?

​@@thomasposch8330you can buy a new engine for gasoline cars for a third the price of a new EV battery.

Same as $100K ICE cars numb nuts

@thomasposch8330 Nope. Unless there is a catastrophic failure- something that damages the engine block beyond repair- an internal combustion engine can be rebuilt to like-new condition almost indefinitely. How do I know? Because I made my living doing exactly that for more than 40 years.

Nah it’s $5k and lasts 25 years. Next year half that and double the life. I’ve had a EV for 12 months and charge it for free at home and drive 500km a week best thing ever I’ve bought. My last petrol car is up for sale (and has dropped 75% in value since I bought it- petrol cars are hard to sell)

@@lifeliver9000 it’s 25 thousand & that’s with a trade in of old battery. A friend owns a Tesla & that’s Exactly what it cost

@@tammybrennan2040 don’t by a Tesla there are 95 other EV makers. My ev6 replacement battery is $5k. And 525km range. 25 year life expectancy. Next year way cheaper again dealer tells me.

@@lifeliver9000 I am not buying a electric car. Very few charging stations. Nobody wants em

@@tammybrennan2040 why use a charging station? I haven’t in over a year. Every morning my car has 525km range unlike my old fossil car where I had to stop and fill up. Some ev models have over a year waiting list and last two years EVs were the most sold cars and cars of the year. I think u mean only u doesn’t want them. Most people want fast reliable low maintenance travel with all the tech and safety.

CPI showed auto insurance increased 22% last month, auto insurance lags auto prices. New and used auto prices skyrocketed last year and insurance is catching up

Same here.

@@TABRO284I’m with both of you

EV does not need you and No one force you 😂!

U WILL NEVER GET LAID EITHER!! EVERRRRR!!!

@@Foxfried joke? Or serious ?

It's already heading down the road like Obama did . Last week I had to lay off a 100 pepole. Construction is slowing down. It just getting harder to find work. And with the cost of fuel I'm about to the point where I'm just going to have to park all my heavy equipment.

​@@AZDevil-ep9ux LOL 😂, you can't even spell, i highly doubt that YOU laid off a hundred people.

@@AZDevil-ep9ux well, the type of construction that you take up , if single home residential , cheap money being gone , is going to cool off. Monst money , I assume, will be on 5x1 infills , for rental units. , and at those you will have to work under a developer with access to money. And these types will pay you a much smaller share.

There is no future in retail,which is a shame. There are people out there who rather browse before they buy. And with the e-tailing scans out there. As for being a facilities coordinator , try getting a job as a super in these new 5x1 s.

@serafinacosta7118 I only do industrial dirt work or government jobs. I'm an 8A contractor .

A comparable honda accord is 2,000lbs lighter than tesla S. tires/brakes wear much faster on the tesla. the much heavier car also has a longer stopping distance. just sayin!

@@user-jc7jb3bu5s More damage and probably more deaths from heavier vehicle

@@aaa7189 And when batteries combust in accident, they burn long time.

@@user-jc7jb3bu5s How is some one in a city going to charge their car in a area that doesn't have their own garage ?esp in the cold

@@aaa7189 Great point! the only other option is to charge them at their work. bet the boss says no.

Yes, the methods used today to determine unemployment % values when calculated appear much lower today than they would 15 years ago

It's getting ready to be much higher from what I've been hearing people about to be getting laid off all over in massive numbers too!

Most of the new jobs are part time and going to border crossers. Among citizens unemployment is higher.

@@SC-fj2zp Tyson chicken. ppl will still be employed, just not american citizens...

Everything is a lie.

Nonsense.. China ia going green. Shutting down coal plants and replaced with nuclear plant. China cities now no longer covered in smogs but fresh air due to vehicles are electric. Cities are quiet with many ev cars. No Honking allowed. Beautiful cities in China. Buy a ticket and fly to china ajd ve amazed m

Bro a model 3 is like 35K and a model Y is like 45K

​. Well if the are that cheap they must be a pile of 💩

Good luck buying one at that price.@@richarnold1224

The air resources board will just make your old car illegal to register just as the have done to trucks in California small and large business’s are spending unimaginable amounts of money to replace perfectly good equipment the old equipment get sold in Arizona and the smog blows right back into ca where the old owners cry over the truck payments dreaming of days gone by when there old truck was payed for. One of the biggest crimes ever against the working man.

Me to 👍

Same hear . But even one I know has Diesel trucks.

I, too, prefer the quality ones

Yeah I want the good ones too. I don't want a piece of crap of any car.

Leave your trailer park then, the Tesla Model Y was the number one selling car in the world

@@GunnyMac360 that doesnt make it good. Tesla is a status symbol. Made for pretentious twerps.

Stranded...

You have no idea how a Tesla works, do you? Try getting accurate info before making uninformed comments.

Yes, Obribens green new deal is another one of the greatest socialist scams EVER PERPETRATED AGAINST EVERY CITIZEN. Congress passed excessive deficit spending bills to fund the socialist scam-a scam because there is nothing wrong with our air quality & EV’s have many pitfalls- don’t go far, take too long to change, power grid will not sustain, catch on fire, cost too much, lose power when too cold & more- all a socialist scam to gain more control over every citizen

Try charging that Tesla in the country.

EVs aren’t yet superior to ICE cars in EVERY way, I suppose

Wtf is this incoherent world salad are you babbling about

It will be in certain situations, but not for most drivers and most purposes.

Wait and see

@@user-dw1ls3rp1lso what’s the point ? Let me buy an ev so I can drive it 10 minutes down the road once a week.

@@davidmcbrayer6458 only if its forced on us. If it were so superior the people wouldnt need to be forced.

It's so easy to become hyper-infatuated when spending other people's money. That's what a "mandate" amounts to. My 2012 V6 RAV4 and my wife's 2019 V6 Dodge Caravan get us everywhere we want to go and bring us home again... and they do this consistently on long drives that no EV can make because the charging infrastructure in the Western US just isn't there. EVs might be OK as a 2nd car in a climate that isn't too hot or too cold and in an urban environment, but other than that, they aren't of much use... and the cost of repairs if the battery casing is even scratched means that the car is virtually totaled because no repair shops out there will certify it as repaired. They simply don't know what's going on inside that casing.

How does this incoherent babble even get 6 likes wtf 😂😂

​@@GunnyMac360😂

Word salad, it’s here numb nuts, in prime time

Well, considering they've been around for 150 years without taking off, I don't think they'll ever be ready for primetime.

I get the sense that EV bashers imagine that EV drivers bash ICE cars

EV manufacturers and dealers are targeting women, young and old, because their an easy sell. They don't realize the true dangers of Lithium batteries to them and their families plus the long run cost of operation is outrageous.

@@Wendy-nm9zw please share the data that supports these very scary dangerous claims?

@@Wendy-nm9zw media targets you. Because you’re an easy sell on the idea that EVs, which catch fire dozens of times less frequently than ICE cars, are dangerous.

No. They need to go longer on a charge and most important - charge quickly ( less than 10 minutes )

that goes 0-60 is 3 seconds..

That's more accurate
