As someone who has owned a dozen plus different Dodge products, 3 Hellcats, a Demon, and TRX.... all of their products deliver exactly what you expect. Raw power with relative creature comforts. The TRX fit and finish along with their interiors are truly top notch which is what you'd expect from a $100k pickup truck, but for the most part shitty paint, bad wiring, and a potential exhaust manifold gasket leak is all to be expected. Then there's the infamous Hemi tick which is hilarious since it's a characteristic of the motor design, but the new crowd that bought TRX Trucks are much to posh for this known annoyance.
All these things aside. Electric is not a mass calling, yet a mass hysterical movement.
High horsepower and efficient design are something that's easily achieved and the push for EV is more so an adaptation to tech rather than Eco friendliness which was the original push.
I hate to say it, but most EV cars are just flat out boring in design and ability. Sure the Plaid is fast, but the brakes are trash and the overall design is meh..... unless you know what a Plaid looks like.... it just looks like another Model S.
Tim Kuniskis has unique visions that frankly do clash with the brand Identity at times.
What would make sense is a true Hybrid like many of the exotic platforms are creating and mirror what the SF90 has been able to achieve and go from there.
Tech is so cheap now that vision is the only limitation. At the end of the day Dodges market base has been primarily Chargers and Challengers and as of late have had a HUGE urban demographic draw due to price point and "performance". Doubt the same market will seek an EV.
