Anyway, he's the one I learned more detail about how they are paying absolutely insane gov fees that made all of the gazillion 5.7s and 6.4s (because their production numbers are much greater) to be not even remotely near as revenue generating as most folks might think, even though they were selling em hand over fist.
Personally I don't know if the Hurricane is actually giving them more problems than they initially expected, or if they are finally reconsidering it might be a better business model to stick to making masses of V8s to chase more revenue at slimmer margins, or maybe even if they are thinking the admin might change with the election, and the gov penalty fees might go away in a couple years, but yeah, I've generally heard the same, and hope it's true.

It has occurred to me that if Trump wins, he'll presumably roll back a lot of those regulations like he did the first time he was elected. IIRC reversing that was one of Biden's day one moves. Perhaps the auto industry, or at least the folks at Stellantis are betting on a Trump victory?
