Sadly I called it back when all this last call BS was announced. I knew the dealers would turn it into a shit show and Corporate looked the other way till the very end. Like the Chief Donut Maker debacle, Dodge managed to turn what could have been a PR triumph into a dumpster fire ....................

The unethical dealings that some dealerships have engaged in that he has called out are eye-popping. Apparently, Dodge called TK Garage regarding the stink that is starting to surround Dodge.

Hence the whole reason I bought a 22 Super Stock instead of waiting for a 23, I wasn't going to deal with that cluster!

Just gets me how a big corporation can make stupid decisions. Maybe they thought everyone they are losing from the hemi there will be a different customer buying ev's but now all the bad news out there about some dealerships they are trying to fix it? If you were planning on going to buy a certain make and started seeing all this shit going on you would probably skip the brand all together

According to TK Dodge sent out an email to all the dealers regarding this black cloud and a dealership is going to be stripped from selling the product line, it is amazing what shining some light does

Amazing that they didn't do audits to see that their dealers were on the up and up.
I watched a few of TK's videos and it sounds like Dodge wants him to cool down as they are seeing a black eye etc.

This all could have been prevented with better leadership.
Seems like Stellantis likes to rotate these guys around and none of them have a fucking clue what they are doing.

I think Sergio took the old FCA with him to the grave. Everything has gone to shit since he died.

You and me both, but just a RENB here. I predicted this sh_t show about 2-1/2 years ago when they announced the end.

And can anyone really blame the dealers? The Stellantis future probably looks as bleak to them as it does to us, except it is (was) their livelihood. I know, they are bottom feeders and it's really hard to sympathize.

I'll tell you now that TK and I are both investigating some dealers doing some serious Doo Doo. No one from Dodge has told me to stop making videos about dealers but that might change with the number of Demon's, 2018 and 2023 caught up in this latest mess I'm gathering details on. I damn sure won't stop bringing to light the dirt these dealers are doing, I know I've personally cost dealers at least $300k in losses of markups with about 5 Demon 170's, Towbin about to shell out 100k scamming a vet thanks to TK, and I still have my special surprise for dealers to come once the last Demon 170's are delivered to customers. 2024 is going to be a great year for the Brotherhood, I promise you that.

They do the exact same thing in the plants too! They move managers around and they come in like a wrecking ball and make changes with no fucking clue what they are doing!!

And Dodge simply avoids this problem by not making it a damn limited edition car.

Dodge can avoid most of it by simply basing allocation on not only sales but customer satisfaction ratings.

They did it in the past. Guess they don't want to spend the money or they don't give a shit anymore?

You mean those false service/sales surveys that most customers fill out after the dealer insists and begs them to give them all 10s on the survey?! No one deserves all 10s ever! No one is perfect and I refuse to give all 10s for customer satisfaction ratings.

They were based on overall satisfaction for sales and service. You'd be surprised how many people would express their satisfaction, either way.

Honestly, I want to build the car online, put in a 100 deposit, and order the car.

When the car is built, I pay off the balance or fill out lease paper work etc.
Only go to the dealer to pick up the car.

No nitrogen in the tires.
No $500 fabric protection
No blinking 3rd brake light
No plug in kill switch
No wheels locks (unless i picked them on the order)
