I think [cars.com](http://cars.com) might have had the price listed wrong here.

Meatloaf_Hitler@reddit

I think they (in theory) could, since the EV Platform has shown some serious potential performance wise. But to take a Muscle Car icon like the Charger and turn it into an EV? Nah. IMO, the task of making Muscle EV's needs to be done by newer companies, or as a completely new and separate model from the giants and even oddballs of American Muscle.
View on Reddit #52037758

SarcasticOptimist@reddit

Honestly the Lucid Sapphire took over what the Hellcat could do, but with better handling. It outdid a Chiron in the quarter mile. I'm not sure muscle cars as they existed could work in an EV framework because you don't necessarily sacrifice handling for power and most manufacturers aren't doing rwd only because they want numbers associated with their cars.

Eyyyy I work at said dealership. Can confirm that is not the price of the vehicle. The company we use to set our prices really screwed us up and the prices on ALL of of our new vehicles are slashed like 70-80%. We have received a ridiculous amount of sales calls which has made for a crazy morning.

Yeah pretty slow tbh, we’ve only really sold them to our regular customers that like to spend money. People definitely ask questions about them but it’s no more than curiosity. Also we’re not really a dealership that likes to stock the hybrid or electric vehicles that stellantis offers but we stock some to keep the reps happy.

I’d be that person. It’s not that far fetched. Toyota if you don’t want to hassle with repairs, but don’t mind something soulless. The corvette if you miss having a sports car and want to row your own, but totally impractical for any family driving duties. And the EV charger if you feel down and bumped your head real hard and forgot there are a lot of other more fun and more reliable choices out there but you just have to have that charger body style. Best to wait for the V8 ICE versions to come out, it won’t be long. I hear their throwing in a dodge hornet with every ev charger sale now ;). That way they don’t have to give you a rental when your EV charger bricks itself.

No traditional dodge charger owner is wanting a EV offering. But here we are. 30k can buy a lot of practical car or fun car. New dodge charger Daytona is neither.

Every Dodge product that I’ve driven even the new stuff. The interior has been pretty subpar for the money. I thought it just me so I had my wife test drive and she felt the same. The performance you’re getting from that car is not impressive by EV standard. It’s very heavy and it’s not a car I would like to take the auto cross. There’s some very good competitive options out there and I’m just not gonna buy a Dodge for the price
View on Reddit #52030911

Weak-Specific-6599@reddit

If autocross is how you have fun, then most cars are not going to be fun, especially EVs.  I get not wanting to pay a premium for a Dodge, but I would not be able to objectively or personally claim that they are not fun or practical by comparing spec sheets. 
View on Reddit #52035080

Spicywolff@reddit

It’s funny you say that because we have plenty of Teslas that come out to our auto cross and those dudes are putting down some absolutely blistering times. Nobody in the Tesla at our auto cross, has a frown on their face EV can be fun, but between the dodge interior. Other more competitive options. I just don’t see myself spending 30k lat alone. 60
View on Reddit #52035316

Weak-Specific-6599@reddit

If you don’t equate competitive lap times at an autocross with having fun at an autocross, I see no reason to assume I couldn’t have a similarly fun time in the Dodge. 
View on Reddit #52039828

Spicywolff@reddit

As an EV on paper the Dodge will come out slower then the Tesla performance or the Hyundai N. I don’t think it will be as thrilling as either nor as fast on times. I don’t mind EV, and think they can be a lot of fun. But having given dodge a chance to impress me. They have always fallen short. I’ll definitely give dodge a chance again but I sure don’t expect much. Model 3 performance is 4,000lbs vs the dodge at 5,800, the Hyundai N 4,800lbs . 3 500hp equivalent vs the dodge 627 in the most potent form, the N which is 641hp equivalent. So vs its EV rivals its way behind on paper alone.
View on Reddit #52040607

Weak-Specific-6599@reddit

And my point is that all you are comparing is on-paper specs and whether one car can go faster around a track. Are we talking about having fun, or are we talking about being objectively fast and competitive on a race course? Those are two very different things you continue to keep conflating. I won’t bother you anymore. It is ok to not like the idea of something based on past experience, but you really don’t seem to have any real reason that might persuade me to believe the new Dodge isn’t a fun car to drive. 
View on Reddit #52041354

Spicywolff@reddit

And you seem to ignore the fact that someone that can enjoy your car that’s not necessarily fast on times there are other metrics I’m compiling You seem to have completely overstep the weight situation which I commented to tracks a lot of the fun from throwing a car around. Be it on the street (to a lesser degree) or at the track (a much bigger degree.) You also seem to have side steeped my willingness to give dodge another try. I don’t think I’ll enjoy it, because all the signs say not. But I’m not above letting dodge change my mind.
View on Reddit #52041652

Weak-Specific-6599@reddit

“ 30k can buy a lot of practical car or fun car. New dodge charger Daytona is neither.” These were your exact words. You made a declarative statement and I proceeded to ask you why you believed that. Maybe just don’t make a comment if you don’t want people asking you why you might believe the comment you yourself made is true. Or, maybe just have good reasons for saying stuff.

You say that, but my Viper has rust on the hardware because the dealer was near the see. Car was from a northern state. I bought it because it was a 1 owner car. Guy had passed away and it got bought from a dealer up north by a dealer in FL. Buying a c5 without rust is easy in the midwest. Lot of boomers bought them and parked them all winter. FL is only not going to be rusty if the car isn't near salt air.

There's plenty of non-engine stuff that go wrong. Suspension, steering, sensors, processors, electrical issues unrelated to the high voltage battery that powers the car. The processor in the Maserati EVs is underpowered for the extra functioality an EV infotainment display needs (route planning and detailed charger info, battery preconditioning, real-time torque distribution). It lags noticeably, and I don't expect they used a more powerful processor for the Charger.

Funny enough I don't think most people ever do burnouts. Enthusiasts will, but a car can't survive off of enthusiasts alone. For a big comfy reasonably fast car, it looks fine.

Enthusiasts are influencers. Anyway it's not just about burnouts the entire idea is fundamentally a misread of the market. This is one of the worst examples of the EV-overreach, but there are dozens more from the other automakers. There was so much hype around EV's a couple years ago and they dumped tons of money into making these cars, meanwhile in reality gas cars are still better and cheaper. The automakers also overestimated the speed of the legal 'favor' the governments would put to advance EVs (taxes or bans on gas cars and gasoline, tax incentives on EVs and charging), so they're caught in a lurch. They made a product that sucks and people don't HAVE to buy.

This is an interesting comment. Got me thinking. So, we have seen that the historical character of a model (e.g., EV mustang) isn't dispositive of a failed EV swap on a beloved line. Mustangs were watered down long before the EV Mustang came out, though. Which, to me, makes me think it's cost. Cost cost cost. If I have to pick between a BMW, a Lucid, a Tesla, a Lexus, and a Charger, all with roughly the same price tag, you know, why the *fuck* am I buying a Charger of any kind?

If you want a pickup truck that you can take the top off of/put the top down, that isn't literally a hundred years old, the Gladiator is your only option.

In spite of all the "Jeep-ness", I was genuinely interested in the Gladiator for this reason alone (also availability of a manual transmission). Ultimately the bed is too short for what I needed it to do so I passed on it. If they'd made a 6-footer I could conceivably have one right now.

Want a manual truck (w/o bed) that you can take the top off of? Wrangler or Bronco.

A 36-month loan at 7.5% (which is sadly a good rate now) for a $10k car + 7% sales tax and + $200 on doc fees... So $11k. That's still $342/month. Figure about $150/month for insurance and it's ~$500/month still. Add gas for a teen, probably $550-600. They aren't driving much. A 16 yo, teenage girl on a Charger SP EV, I could see $500/month, but in that unlikely case I'd put them on my SUV, and I'd drive the Charger EV.

Worth buying at that price, just to fuck around with putting a hemi crate engine into. Hell, start a youtube series on the process and use the ad rev to try and recoup some of the cost.

At the rate sales are going, they may as well return them to Dodge. Remove the battery and keep them on the side as shells to fit V8s in.

Literally DOA. The RT is almost $60K The Scat pack $74K. This would be like if Harley Davidson a brand well known for leaking oil everywhere for 70 years decided they were gonna go out and create an electric motorcycle! Oh shit no wonder this feels so familiar. It's like Deja vu.

Pay attention Ford and Chevy. No one wants an EV “Muscle Car”. EVs already have muscle, but they don’t have the charm and drama(sound) that people like. If they made the Charger EV a different cat entirely (targeting a larger demographic) they would probably not be in this predicament. As it stands this is a failure of a vehicle. Not even a few months from launch and dealers literally cannot give them away. At a 30k discount the dealer has to be losing money. The margins are on cars is no where near 40-50% lol

I feel like something fucky is going on here. In the article, there's a basic Charger Daytona listed for $30k. You click on the link and it takes you to a Cars.com ad for the car showing the price a $17k! Click through the link to the dealership's page and it's $56K. Something does not add up. https://i.imgur.com/Sz1TRKc.png $30K in story https://i.imgur.com/BxyjBG8.png $17K on Cars.com https://i.imgur.com/G6K7WFQ.png $56K at dealership site

loveCars@reddit

I wonder if they're pricing it to fall into the most popular price-range that's searched on those car sites? I've seen that sort of thing before -- searches for vehicles "lowest price first" will show a bunch of brand-new vehicles with prices like "$1", "$389", "$5,000", where the price is either entirely made up, the monthly price after a certain amount down, or the amount down that they want before some ridiculously long lease / loan. Nothing to do with the actual price.

It looks like they combined every available rebate and incentive and subtracted it from the MSRP. But you can't get every rebate. Most are not compatible with each other. If you go to the dealers website the car is much higher priced

the small child in me would find it hilarious to figure out some way of hooking an extra subwoofer or two up to the exhaust so it was just even more incredibly rumbly, and then i'd go drive around and troll people fake revving my engine and making everyone's cars vibrate (like a car full of big subs blasting bass music)

Drove one yesterday theyre dope. Sorry not sorry. Same vibes as an ice challenger. WAY nicer interior. Fast asf. Regen braking was kinda meh. Hatchback is sweet. For mid 50’s low 60’s im considering the 4 door. One of the biggest mistakes they made was even selling a 2-door ev at all. That and the fact that tesla set the bar with hp / weight ratio and they didnt even try. Sick car though.

Charger EV Scat Pack that can do 0-60 in 3.3 seconds for $44,000, what a time to be alive EVs providing a supercar acceleration at a much more affordable prices, but the downside is a lot of buyers who are in no business in being behind a wheel of these types of cars can now be in one is the threshold is lowered a lot

>Charger EV Scat Pack that can do 0-60 in 3.3 seconds for $44,000, what a time to be alive Yeah but you're doing that in a package built by Stellantis. Driving like that is risky as it is, without adding in pig-iron brakes, dodgy reliability and cargo-ship grade handling.

You can get similar out of a nice turbo 6 or V8. It can also keep running all day instead of overheating the battery after a lap or a few runs.  Much better value over this.

Ngl this seems like a great deal but also a huge risk. Both carvana and carmax won't offer a trade in value. Note not that they won't offer like they don't want it but rather they can't. If someone buys this car, it could have severe electrical issues and be worthless in a year or two. It happen to the fisker I believe. I am not saying this car won't be that way because Dodge is no Fisker but there seems to be a huge issue with this model.
