Reporter Posts Video of Trying to Charge His Tesla, Shows Why Electric Cars Won't Quickly Solve Gas Issue

Let’s stop paying high gas prices and save the planet and be like the cool kids and drive electric cars!

That’s what we keep hearing, right?

Who needs the laws of physics, economics, infrastructure or plain old common sense? Just electrify! Electrify! Electrify!

No need to worry about those rolling electrical blackouts in California. Or how close the Texas electrical grid came to collapsing in bad weather. Or federal mismanagement increasing natural gas prices.

After all, if men can be women and Sen. Elizabeth Warren can be a Cherokee, anything is possible. Anything!

Wow. Chrysler really is filled w/a bunch of knuckleheads. Either that, or they know something we don't.

sorry. chrysler made great cars. youll never find a better musclecar than a barracuda with a 383 hemi in it.

Sorry, "made" being the operative word.

"Chrysler" is an empty office building. It's the American brand, one of them, of what's now called Stellantis. A combination of Fiat and Peugeot. Yeah, can't you just smell the quality, there? Or maybe the toilet backed up again.

Stellantis is run, obviously, by Globalist crony opportunists. Fiat was losing money for decades and subsidized by the Italian government. Then emerged a Canadian-Italian dual national (don't you just love all these rich "dual-nationals" running around?) named Sergio Marchionne - who found an alternative to quality product. MERGE. He merged with Ferarri. He got Italian money to buy the remains of Alfa Romera. There were a couple of small parts companies involved, too.

He wanted to sell his crap in the States. Fiat left the US in 1979, because their crap, sad even against GM products, REALLY looked sad against the Datsun and Toyota offerings. But Sergio smelled opportunity.

Which came, 2009. Never let a good crisis go to waste. Sergio's frontmen filled Botox Nan's pickled brain with visions of LITTLE! CARS! for LITTLE PEOPLE! All courtesy of Chrysler, bankrupted at the time - if only Nan would rush through a bill to "sell" Chrysler to Fiat. Fiat would pick up a token amount of Chrysler's unpaid debt, and promised a LITTLE CAR FOR LITTLE DEPLORALES to be in this country in 18 months.

And it was so done. The Fiat 500 came to be - along with a whole army of Woketard dealer wannabees. They spent MONEY decorating their new Fiat showrooms...and ordered inventory.

And nobody came.

Few came, anyway. Few wanted little cars. The Toyota Yaris disappeared. So did the whole Geo line at GM. Honda's Civic grew from tiny kei-car size (Japanese specifications for a low-tax city car) to a subcompact, and now, today, a technical intermediate.

But a few did sell. Nowhere near what the Woketard dealers would have to sell to make money, but a few sold.

What the few buyers found, was that a Honda or Toyota, scant miles from being junked, is still infinitely better than a new, out-the-gate Fiat. They didn't hold up; major issues would hit at about 60,000 miles.

Fiat is all but gone. They have one model, the 500X four-door...plenty of 2021s left, and they are not cheap. $29,000 via the Fiat website. For a YEAR OLD ITALIAN CAR that doesn't hold up. You can buy a stripper Tacoma truck for that money.

Chrysler only makes the Pacifica and the the 300. That's it. One sedan and one minivan.

No engineers. Money goes directly to Italy.

Not to Sergio, though. He died on the operating table in a Canadian hospital, for what was supposed to be a routine surgery.

That was why the merger of Fiat and Peugeot was pushed through so fast. Even with overpriced "Jeep" models (crap designed in Italy, now) Fiat Chrysler was in trouble, and Sergio was the knife-juggler. He's dead; so it's time to mail this time-bomb to France...let Peugeot SpA pick it up, and have it go off.

So, do you figure that "Chrysler" will meet their 'promise' to go all electric by 2028?
Could it be that they stated that goal, knowing they would no longer be in business?
Because, like the article says, car manufacturers aren't stupid, and the idea makes no sense. That is, unless you want to limit vehicle ownership.

so who currently own them? Fiat?

Stellantis, if it continues to exist, will do so with government bailouts and contracts.

Yes, I think you're probably correct. Chrysler will become like Mini or Hummer - a niche brand to market electric cars to the imbeciles.

Then, once it's undeniable that they're useless - or when the economy completely collapses - they'll be closed. If not sooner.

Chrysler has no future. RAM, the truck brand that used to be Dodge Trucks, will, I think, go bust in the next year - with these exploding fuel prices. They won't survive because they're the crappiest truck make on the market (Nissan being a close second). Dodge is all but dead.

Jeep...for now, it will survive, although with a vastly contracted sales rate. As Stellantis gets EEC and USA bailout monies, some hare-brained pol, our side or theirs, will demand Stellantis stop making "gas-guzzlers." Jeep will be sold, and guess who has the money and will buy it.

Yup...the CCP.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles was "combined" with Peugeot PsA...the combination is called Stellantis.

Fiat keeps on failing, and they keep on getting bigger to prevent bankruptcy. Fiat took over Chrysler to get a lot of government "loans" to develop an American mini-car - the Fiat 500, which was supposed to have been built in a Chrysler factory. But it was already being built in Italy - and, once EPA certified, was imported here.

Almost nobody bought them - they're lousy cars, worse than the Daewoo Chevrolet (Chevy Aveo and later Spark). So there was never the sales volume to justify setting up American plants. Not when Jeeps were selling with waiting lists.

But Jeep didn't make enough money to keep Fiat in Italy solvent, so Sergio the Sweaterman, head of FCA, looked for merger partners. Only company foolish enough to bite the bait, was Peugeot. VW, BMW, and Daimler-Benz all turned him down.

And Sergio is dead. So is Fiat and so is Stallantis - they just don't know it, yet.
