The value of all these cars from the old FCA brands in SA (bad enough before Stellantis took them over) is now being actively destroyed by their new masters with impunity. Don't blame FCA for this brand disaster looking for a place to happen as both models being dumped were launched by the new master!
Who will buy a Tonale new with a built in immediate built-in depreciation of R140 000 or a Jeep Grand Cherokee of R350 000? What about the guy who bought one last month with a normal? discount from a dealer and now finds his car is worth a staggering amount less! They are magnificent cars that have been priced incorrectly at inception by the manufacturer and because of that they don't sell at retail, so they are just dumped on the market and to hell with their customer base! Talk about customer care?

What is the answer to lowering global tailpipe emissions? It doesn't seem to be fines for manufacturers, but incentives for buyers mixed with broader choice of hybrid, plug-in and future propulsion options.

I had this question sent to me recently and I thought you'd all enjoy my response

What is going to happen with EV's

There's too much invested in them from a financial and ecological point of view to drop it - and hydrogen should be the way to go but the woke will continue along the wrong route. Many ICE companies will go broke as a result of not being competitive or dying trying to be! Many EV companies will also go broke through non achievement of the forecasted volumes (already started in USA). Tesla will stop being the woke darling as EV competition increases. The Chinese will dominate EV production and some of current big brands will do badge engineering with them to be able to compete in the EV market One other point to consider is the terrible depreciation on EV's - nobody wants a year-old EV with outdated technology (particularly in the "tank" capacity as each year massive strides are being made). So, if you buy one and don't want to lose a bundle on it, you'll have to keep the overpriced unit as to replace it you'll probably find the new one with better spec in all the right areas, will cost less than the one you own as manufacturers dump excess production to achieve new vehicle sales targets and reduces prices.
