  1. Unions cost everyone money. Combine it with the fastest interest rate hike in history and you end up with “inventory backup, and tackling a “suboptimal” marketing strategy”.

  2. The quality of production at the plants is a critical factor as it directly affects the overall performance of the vehicles and the company’s reputation. Poor quality control can lead to increased defect rates, higher warranty costs, and ultimately, customer dissatisfaction. Addressing quality issues in a timely and efficient manner is essential for maintaining high standards and ensuring that Stellantis’ vehicles meet both customer and regulatory expectations. Tavares’ recognition of the need to improve quality and his commitment to fixing these problems “in the context of the U.S. environment” demonstrates a proactive approach to enhancing operational performance and competitiveness in a challenging market.
