Stellantis expanding production of Ram 1500s to Mexico

[HotRod]

I'm wondering if moving Ram 1500 production to Mexico will mess with their EV production....

If they move Ram production to Mexico, Stellantis might be able to build trucks faster and keep up with demand for those electric Rams.

But I wonder how it'll affect things like supply chains, prices, and those EV tax credits. You know, the ones you get for buying American-made cars.

It'll be interesting to see how it all works out. Hopefully, they don't mess up the quality and they actually pass on any savings to us.

Why would it mess with the production?

I don’t think it’ll mess with production too much, but logistics could take a hit. If they’re moving production to Mexico, we might see some delays with parts or some early quality issues popping up. Plus, depending on how they sort the EVs for tax credits, it could mess with the price for us. Definitely something to keep an eye on, though!

I think moving production to Mexico could impact EV timelines if the transition affects supply chains or labor, and it depends on how Stellantis manages the shift for EV models.

Experts in the industry believe the decision could be linked to labor costs and the 2023 UAW agreement. This agreement led to significant pay raises for workers, which might have influenced the decision.
