It’s not even a smart business decision as it completely ignores any long-term strategy and will leave them in the dust of companies that are proactive
Oh, I agree. But I can see and appreciate the counter-argument that focusing on their existing profit center (ICE vehicles) can be a short-term win. Many in this thread are excusing their behavior precisely for this reason.
In my opinion, it will most definitely endanger the company in the long-term. And if I weren’t already strongly opposed to Stellantis, this would turn me sour to the company. But so many companies fail to plan for the long-term; pathological short-term focus is hardly exceptional.
I can understand the business reasons for such a decision. It’s the usual “maximize shareholder value” short-term thinking stuff.
But for any thoughtful consumer, this has to utterly wreck the possibility of ever buying a Stellantis product in the future.
