All Dodge would have to do is say they are looking at the continued production option due to demand and that would stop the whole dealer markup thing cold. For Dodge to continue to make the most incredible muscle car ever would be one big step that would make everything right. 🤗. FJB.
Except for every buyer that paid 100k over but they don't care:LOL:

The initial list is 2,806 allocations. Dodge gave themselves some headroom there.
As for the plant, are they still moving forward with turning it into an EV plant or battery plant? Ford and GM are backing off on their spending.

What is stopping Dodge from making a 2024 Demon? I don't recall it ever being a limited edition, 1 year only deal. It was just assumed because the plant was being killed. But in the last 4-5 months the car world has flipped on its head and many auto makers are abandoning EV spending.

As for the CF wheels, Tim said they lose money on them at 11k option on the Demon. So I am not surprised at the 13k per wheel. They are not cheap and honestly, I wouldn't want them. But the collector world will punish anyone who doesn't get them (not like they actually race and would know).
The current schedule at Brampton
Production will end in a few weeks
They will have a party
Last off cars roll down the line etc
Then
Brampton will be closed for retooling till fall 2025
They will build Jeep products there
Compass & ???
Both ICE & BEV

The Windsor Plant is back up
They will build the Pacifica
2 door Charger
4 door Charger
BEV & ICE

If there is a new Demon it will either be a BEV
Or
It won t be till 2026 using the inline 6 ( just a guess on this )

The new Battery plant ( 1 of the largest factories in Canada ) is a stone throw from the Chrysler plant
Billions is being invested

I can t wait to see the status in 12 to 18 months

As far as the plants Dave ?

Both plants will have the ability to run BEV & ICE
So when the BEV shit tanks they can keep rolling with ICE models

As of now Dodge is full steam ahead with the BEV Charger & the RAM BEV

Ford & GM has backed off a bit

Sure is
Layoff
Many skilled trades will stay on board
Workers will get unemployment benefits, SUB & $200 ish a week over & above that
This was part of the agreement a few weeks back to avoid striking
At the end of the day their close to full pay for a regular work week

Tough for some
Others love it

I remember way back when either GM or Chrysler shut down that many of the workers did side jobs for extra money.

Many times I was cheap labor for house painting, etc kind of jobs.

Why would laid off workers love making much less or no money for 20 months? Or maybe I missed what you said....?

Some people don't like to work, is happy to stay home and make less.

Or they have side gigs that they will work full-time.

"Much less"
No sir
Their recent contract 6 weeks ago made sure there is no "much less"

Like I said

If you were planning on retiring in 2024 would you not love 20 months pay ?
A large majority of these guys / gals retire between 50 & 60 with 30 to 40 years & full pensions
They are financially set & see opportunity for
Time with family
Sleeping in
Honey do list
Vacations
Etc etc etc
Others may live paycheque to paycheque & struggle so they do as mentioned above
Do handyman work

Different strokes for different folks

I have family and friends at Windsor Chrysler
They do better then 90 percent of the workforce while they are off

The people that suffer the most are the support plants, dinners, bars, food trucks, etc
The Government don t dump cash in their laps

I would love a year off paid and I do mean LOVE
But I don t think my liver would love it

[cheers][cheers][cheers]

Its all good Mr

They can collect unemployment that they pay into weekly like most of us that work
They get CAW ( Canadian Auto Workers ) top up pay thru the union
Then
In their contract they get additional $$$ for every week they are off
Last I heard the additional $$ was $240.00 per week
I hear slightly different variations but at days end its a pretty good deal

Plus they got a 10K signing bonus 6 weeks ago

What would be a kick in the nuts is
In 20 months when the EV shits the bed they have nothing to back up full production & 3 shifts turns to 1

The money Ontario is investing in BEV is NUTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If not, they'll get a different job and they will end up with a skeleton crew.
