Dont get too happy. The roofline is for a 4 door, it may be an optional 2 dr. And a noise machine for exhaust what a FN joke.
Electric is for vibrators and they can go F themselves with it

Looks better than I expected. The fake noise is a bit goofy. Still looks like a Dodge for now. As we transition over to electric, cars need to maintain their styling heritage. Certainly rivals a Tesla. Overall, not bad👍

He keeps referencing Direct Connection as if it's this enormous Mopar-focused Summit Racing but their website lists everything as out of stock no-ETA and nothing appears to be new since last I checked a few years ago.
Curious if the sound is actually mechanical noise from the electric motor or some sort of sound byte. I was impressed with the notion of multi-shift transmissions.

Id like to say its not for me but looking back I can say for myself over the years ive bought new muscle of all brands off the lot and modded them the first week and never had a regret. I missed the "new" off the lot 426 hemi era but was lucky to buy low mile ones less then 10 years old. Bought new 5.0s, grand nationals, early Zr1 vettes and vipers to the newer SRT cars and was never disappointed.
Im at the point I could coast my later years and probably not buy another new but some of these new EV-s seem decent and I will watch the next few years. Some say the first year,first run cars are at a disadvantage but not always IMO.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Certainly rivals a Tesla. Overall, not bad👍 Same here, better than I expected but then it's just a concept car so we'll see. The noise being piped in is nothing new. First time I heard of it was probably ten years ago on Rustangs.

Electric is for vibrators and they can go F themselves with it I'm with you 110%! This whole forced transition to EV's is VERRRRY fishy! One thing the engineers can't engineer-out, is the fact that EV's can catch fire at ANY time - running or not. Don't park one in your garage or near your house!

Not buying it, in both sense of the word.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

I've seen uglier cars, but I didn't buy them either. The lines of the car don't flow that well, it looks like a 4 door that they converted to a two door (badly). They can keep their EV crap, I'll never have an interest in it. The power grid and the country aren't ready for EV's but they're being shoved down the public's throats like it or not. Like all the other auto manufacturers they're following the current winds. When those winds change they'll be left hanging out to dry again just like when they eliminated all the small fuel efficient cars and mainly built trucks and then the price of gas skyrocketed back in 2008.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Like all the other auto manufacturers they're following the current winds. I honestly don't understand the "heritage" marketing gimmick when those it's aimed at aren't interested. Just embrace the new for the new customers. As for how it came to this, CNBC claims Dodge's parent company Stellantis is among the worst-ranked auto manufacturers in terms of fuel economy and carbon emissions. Stricter emission regulations were apparently forcing Dodge's hand, even leading it to buy carbon credits from Tesla for a whopping $300 million.

I haven't don't much research on it yet but I haven't heard much about Dodge charging stations or their intended charging network etc like Ford has been touting. If they're going full EV I'm assuming they have something covered. Good time to be a mobile electrician tho, these 100amp dedicated charging circuits aren't something most can do themselves.
They're pushing the heritage because it's pandering. They know if they can convince Dodge loyalists "hey this is just like your 70' Superbird, it's just electric!" Then they'll sell em.
