Let them leave and they just keep making them. Create an actual Canadian car company. Just take Jeep and make them actually good and ignore Stellantis trademark, IP, and copyright etc.
Thats probably too hopeful though
Bring back the old military jeeps that can be torn down in less than 4 minutes. All universal parts, easy as fuck to fix.
Yes, but electric.
This is the future...
This is where swappable batteries trend should start
That would require a massive infrastructure. That idea was floated 20 years ago. Only Nio pulled it off for work vehicles in large cities in Asia, but North America is a decade or more behind.
Every massive project has to start somewhere, let's gooooo!
It's called Slate EV. They even have an online university to teach self repair. https://www.slate.auto/en
Betsos will ruin this
Oh and ban sales of Stellantis in Canada
What sales...aside from right wing hicks in black RAM pickups no one is buying that garbage any more.
I pack Autoparts all day every day they still get sold a lot I'll tell you what
No car company can survive in Canada by selling to the Canadian market. Australia learned this. Would you buy a car made in Canada? What's the name of that quality product designed and made in Canada again....? We don't even make fucking hockey sticks any more.
I'm okay if it fails, we will learn something. The only real hurdle is costs....where nationalizing their product would slash a significant cost and also if the designs are already approved for safety that's also another signiticant hurdle to bypass. Factory and employees also mostly solved. Further savings.
Canada manufacturers for the industry already, like this exact plant and the deal in place we are discussing already.
I'm also okay if we build a better vehicle and sell it abroad, perhaps leave out the battery and let other markets finish the production. I'm okay if it ultimately fails. Dare to dream
