Congratulations to Speedy!

Tim made a statement? Linkage?

"
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said Patterson was the perfect winner, because he is a Dodge owner who once left the brand out of frustration for Porsche, but came back and bought a new one because he missed Dodge muscle and the community around out.
Kuniskis said that gives him a kind of credibility hyping the brand that a die-in-the-wool "Mopar or No Car" Dodge fanatic might not.
That's important, because Patterson's main role will be helping the brand communicate with its fan base during the lead up to its first electric vehicle launch in 2024."

I know a guy who knows a guy who may have a copy, but hasn't watched it because he fell asleep last night watching Office Space.

You guys must be close. BFF's

Kuniskis has gone woke just like the rest, affirmed by the CDM selection. I have written him personal letters in the past lauding, thanking, and slobbering all over him for bucking the trend and making Dodge the most bad-ass muscle lineup EVER, bar none, AND that he ought to be REAL CAREFUL abandoning the Hemi and understand his buyers, because people like me will never buy the EV BS being rammed down our throats, and we are spending multiple 6-figures for these cars. Do they really think this generation of youth who live in their parent's basement cashing Uncle Joe's welfare checks are going to be buying any EV, let alone a DODGE XYZTBD with a gazillion hp and weighs 10,000 lb, etc, etc.

I'd hate to be Tim. Stellantis bought Dodge so now he can either quit, and probably penalized heavily if he did due to contracts, or go a long with their strategy whether he agrees with it or not. Rock and a hard place for sure.

I tell people watch his electric car reveal and then watch the demon reveal you tell me where Tim's heart is.
He had so much excitement for the demon I didn't see that with this new car.

OK, I see that reasoning. They want someone who will explain why they thought dodge sucked but then changed their mind. Not those mindless Dodge fans that will get insulted any time someone has a criticism of the brand (which is Mexican / Canadian, not american). Personally, I didn't see Speed as one of those people who act like Dodge saved them from a burning building and can do no wrong. but that's just me. It's clearly a marketing tool and they want someone who can say, yes, I thought dodge was shit too, but here's why I changed my mind.

 

[Magnified]

it's about a mouthpiece who will toe the party line. I put much more faith in what someone says who I believe is looking at all aspects of whatever it is they happen to be reviewing or hawking than someone who is just a yes man. If speed review the electric charger and said the performance is phenomenal, but I have concerns with the sound, or xyz, that would carry a lot more weight with me than someone who you know is just going to say this is the greatest thing since the invention of the automobile.

On the reveal, maybe it's what I talked about back in 2017 after buying the charger. They're using an ICE to produce electricity and replacing the conventional drive train with full electric hub wheels, or leave the shaft and transmission to power the rears and put hub motors on the front. With battery thrown in as needed. Doesn't have to be the hellcat motor, could be much smaller since its driving the generator(s) not the drive train in the first option. And still has an exhaust note. Or not.

 

[Speedy!]

The impression I got from the conversations I was part of, it's battery powered, no ICE at all. I hope that changes personally. I'm OK with hybrid but still want a V8.

Damn the more I read about this guy Preston and all his issues I should have signed up and probably would have been nominated. I mean lets run down the list for all the obvious qualifications unbeknownst to most including myself. Now yeh I need to like die my hair whats left and get a bunch of tattoos and pierced body parts and maybe some missing teeth. But other than that I would have been the perfect pick. Let’s review what I have done in the past few years. Ok I sold both my Hellcats last year after buying Ford Mustangs and tell everyone how great the Mustangs are. And then I go out and buy Electric Ford Mustangs and tell everyone how great those are and you need to buy an electric vehicle as well😁. Now I did miss out on making a Youtube video making comments on how I wold never buy another Hellcat because my Mustangs are better. And I missed out on making videos telling everyone I think Dodge ain’t the brand to buy anymore. But wow other than that I think I should have entered and been Picked as the number one Ass Hat Ambasador to the Dodge brand🤪

Preston claims he doesn’t want to be with the Dodge type of people😳

That’s convenient for us Dodge type of people.

 

[ChargerChallenger]

That was the first video I have seen of him before it gets taking down. Incredible beyond belief and this guy needs to relinquish his duties. Sorry no way am I gonna be a fan of this guy. He just rambles on to make videos and throws others under the bus to get attention. He should be running for a Political position this would be right up his alley.

It was explained on another forum that Charlotte N.C. has a huge problem with Hellcats and drivers going nuts on the road. This happened last year:
https://www.motorbiscuit.com/north-carolina-drivers-block-i-77-with-dangerous-stunts/

Now If Preston was talking about his local and what he had witnessed as being a problem for the community, Dodge most likely accepted his explanation for the video (If they saw it). Not bashing all Dodge owners but just the ones in his neighborhood and city. Just a thought
